I am an Uncle

I am the uncle of at least three boys and several girls. I don't know hardly any of them beyond seeing them on holidays in my brother's family's case and the once every 10 to 15 years for the rest of. I feel guilty about that.

Generational blame

Recent post by a friend:
"Me, behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladdin was a thief, Batman drove 200+ miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house w/7 men, Elephants could fly, Popeye smoked a pipe & had tattoos, PacMan ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, & Shaggy & Scooby were mystery solving hippies that always had the munchies.The fault is not mine!"

How sad that people in my generation joke about this but then blame everyone else for issues and inconveniences in their lives.

Worse, the next generation blames us for destroying the planet while they produce more carbon emissions with their internet gaming, electric cars and devices, and processed food choices.

Disappointed by Netflix

I was disappointed by Netflix yesterday. I was excited to see the Arsenio Hall had a comedy special on Netflix. He was one of the comics that was friends with Eddie Murphy, came up and had his own Tonight Show or late-night show that competed against the Tonight Show, and he was funny on TV. And he had that grin that just made you laugh every time he told the joke.

But I got into the comedy special and the he cursed a lot. He used the N word. And it was constant. And I actually turned it off because I didn't want to fill my head with that.

I have enough trouble with my own language and my own thoughts, I don't need an entertainer that I enjoyed in the past filling my head with a bunch of junk that will echo for years.

I wonder if he realizes how he is a promoting the use of the N word? And all the other things that he said?
