Lesson learned

I’ve come a long way since my playing in the dirt days when I was six years old. I’ve learned plenty of lessons throughout the years, some the hard way. Here are some that I learned the hard way:

-The talcum powder is not my bottle of milk
-Don’t stick aluminum foil into the microwave
-Don't prank call 911
-I am not superman, I cannot fly
-Drive like an old lady when it’s raining
-Electric gates lives up to their name
-Don’t make fun of Haitians in a predominately Haitian school
-Listen to your mother when she tells you she has a bad feeling
-Never trust a woman that says she’s on the pill
-Don't go to the hospital unless you have a major illness or bone fractures; it's gonna cost you
-Never hide in the trunk of a car & scare people at bus stops; the police don't have a sense of humor
-Never stand still when a group of angry people are running towards you
-Racism is still alive and kicking
-I’ll post more a little later during the day

Let it go

So...I have this friend that has a little dilemma. His sister continues to sneak out of her house late at night and one can only imagine what she is doing.

The other night my friend and I just got back from a movie theater and he received a call from his mother who had been roaming the streets franticly searching for her daughter. We combed about a 2 mile radius around their neighborhood. Long story short, we found the girl walking with another girl and two older guys.

My friend hopped out the car and begins beating her with his belt (how embarrassing). He finally made her get into my car and we drove her home. Another big fight broke out but this time the older sister jumped in. Yelling, profanity lol, chaos ensued. Finally we got my friend to calm down and we left. Yet on our way out...his sister began walking away from the house again. AGAIN he got out of the car and forced her to get back into the house.

Question! Was my friend wrong for trying to beat some since into this girl? She's 17 years old yet she thinks she has the world all summed up. I think a little discipline doesn’t hurt but I don’t believe a person will change by being drop kicked in the back.

Thoughts?

And it was still hot

One thing to look forward to in 2009.
