Aim of the Blog

If you are going to be offended by the title of this blog, then please leave now.  The purpose of this is not to offend anyone, but to use as my own personal "bully pulpit" to air my views, opinions and grievances.  Hopefully if you made it past the first sentence you will be sometimes amused, sometimes enraged, and sometimes engaged.

First, let me tell you how the name of this blog came to be.  I was doing what I normally do on summer weekends, sitting on the beach, under my umbrella, drinking a few cold ones or other adult style beverages and just bullshitting with my friends.  I am 48.  One friend I know since I am 11, the other I know since I am 16, simply put, we have been together for a lot of years.  We are all married, and amazingly the wives get along.  We have kids and they too get along for the most part, in total there are 4 girls ranging from14 to 19, and one boy he's 15.

I don't have a son, so I occasionally like talking with my buddy's son.

One day he showed me this iPod game called urinal test.  It was pretty stupid, it showed you a wall of urinals with either a few men standing there or none, and you had to guess which empty urinal was the proper choice.  Seems innocent enough but that got me Thinking.  There are no set rules for urinals, or men's rooms for that matter, so why couldn't I post my thoughts about the subject.

Thus an idea was born.

But shortly after that, my buddy's son left on a 6 week cross country tour.  So I was left to think about this on my own.

In that time, I thought it would be silly to focus on just ethics surrounding the use of a urinal, I should use this as my soap box to air my thoughts and opinions.   So the blog was born.

Now I don't in any way believe that I will be answering age old questions, or solving the world's problems, I simply will just state my point, why I believe in that issue or idea and move on.  If someone agrees great, if you disagree, well I respectfully recognize your right to believe in what you want to believe in, just as long as you recognize my right to not hear you or agree with you.

Also I do not pretend that I am a frustrated author, waiting for a break.  You make your own breaks in this world.  Very little is given freely.

So if you read this, great.  If not, so be it.
