I am back.. Trip was good, nothing eventful happening except the Sikorsky strikers out their with their signs which was the highlight of my trip since I was training at Sikorsky. They had to move the training to a local hotel so we didn't have to cross over the line. That sucked because i really wanted a tour of their facility and the chance to see the actual naval helicopters we produce parts for. Took in a little sightseeing, lots of cute new england homes..didn't care for Bridgeport all that much and finally, finally found a Starbucks what 7 miles from my hotel and no other one in sight throughout my trip. This is a big deal for Seattlite..lol! Took in the evening at Manhattan and that was wonderful and too short as usual.

All in all it was a fair trip.

Nice to have you back raven, and just this morning I saw that "zombie party" gone bad on the news. Pretty tragic.

yeah it was pretty scary, my best friend's son went to the rave but fortunately didn't attend the after party where it happened. He lost two of his friends in that.

Just a week ago, a local skating rink, mind you, someone pulled a gun out on someone in the parking lot where my daughters go too!!! Now every other Friday is spent watching the girls at the skating rink.

This is so damn sad!!!!

Agreed. Too many of todays kids beleive they have to live up to this bad boy/bad girl image. it replaces guidance and acceptance. I see it everywhere. I look in their eyes and see the struggle they're having trying to learn how to fit in. And your right, it is sad, they can't see themselves ever fitting in. It makes it hard for them to "realize" life past being a teenager and having their place one day. That's why I always say how's it goin'?, what's up?, or just hi, helps get the message across, it's cool, we're all the same. Don't stress out with who you are. You have nothing to prove. Be who you want to be. If everybody did this, violence in teens would drop, not completely, but enough to make a differance. After all, we're no better than them, especially when we're supposed to be the one's guiding them, and then end up discarding them instead. This is one prime example of where equality should be shown. A lot of people get caught up thinking they're above the masses, that's even more sad, and in most cases spurs the trouble, seperation just doesn't work.
