The Nameless

Last night my co-workers and I had a send off for one of our teammates that is leaving for greener pastures. We went to Night shift, a strip club in Baltimore, and a good time was had by all. (I know, I know, I’m married. However, I went with my wife’s permission and blessing, without it I would not have gone, period. Some things to me are more important than a good time.) I don’t go to strip clubs that often, maybe once every three years or so, because they really don’t appeal that much to me. Partially it’s the atmosphere, I don’t drink that often myself, and large groups of drunks are unappealing to say the least. Also, the clubs themselves are expensive, $3.25 for an 8oz cup of Coke, seriously. Lastly, I once stopped in a shabby club in DC for a beer, and noticed needle tracks on one of the dancers, I felt sick and dirty and left without finishing my beer. I’m of two minds regarding strip clubs. I can see and understand the point that they objectify women. On the other han

It’s funny how life changes. Three weeks ago, the latest round of sonograms for my wife’s pregnancy revealed that we would be having a baby daughter. That, after hearing my daughters heartbeat for the first time was the two of the most magical things I have experienced, ever. Within the fuss and worry of our first child, I have found a strange serenity, a peace I have never known. Eight years ago, however, that serenity was the farthest thing from my mind, I was too busy getting stoned off of my ass. I would wake up in the morning and get high, had five minutes free time at work, get stoned, and so on. I smoked so much the euphoria that pot gives you faded into this bland foggy misery. I was trying to obtain peace through chemically lobotomizing myself, and failing, all the while being miserable. At that point, and my eventual recovery afterwards, fatherhood was absolutely unthinkable. I knew in my heart that I wasn’t able to care for myself, and the thought of fatherhood sc

Cool, I have comments working now.

Oh! one quick thing. If you are a stratgey gamer, check out Rise of Nations. It rocks.

Yea! my first real post of substance With the exceptions of a few close friends and family, I really don't discuss politics anymore. The reason? Simple, it's the current " if you're not with us you're against us" mindset that both major political parties are engaged in. Neither party wants to comprimise anymore, or when a comprimise is being discussed it is, more often than not, double-speak for "we're doing it my way." The sad thing is, this mindset has now filtered down to the party faithful. I have seen the words "conservative" and "liberal" used as the most vile of insults when describing someone. I have also seen shouting matches and fist fights break out over political differences. Both sides believe that the other side is either evil, stupid, or both, and both sides believe that they hold the moral high ground. So who is right? Democrat or Republican? In my opinion the answer is, it depends on the i

Well, I'm still learing this so please be patient.

ack... I will figure this out eventually.

Please allow me to introduce myself, my nom de plum is Kid Target. I’m a 28 year old college student, husband, and father to be. I have always felt that personal web pages/blogs were shrines to personal vanity; after all, what is the purpose of them really besides, screaming “hey pay attention to me”? However, since I am posting this, I will admit to being a touch vain, because I now have a Blog, right? Anyway, I will post more later, and as I teach myself HTML, this blog should hopefully become more interesting.
