Been a Long time since I Rock and Rolled

Sorry about the time off. I think the format is better suited to simply post when deemed necessary and not on a day to day basis. Of course, if there is something, then of course I shall chat on. Might be changing the name of the blog in the coming days as well. The whole rants thing makes me feel like I'm just bitching. Which I kind of am, but there are other things on my mind without such a negative connotation which I will post from time to time. This is not one of those times.
I'll start off by saying I hope I dont come off as an outsider. Obviously the direction of the post will be obvious, but again, if there is a feedback to counter my view, please, by all means comment on this. To the point in hand. And I'll be honest, I didn't sit in front of the computer and rack my brain about this, this whole post comes from the drive home today, and seeing one guy, and his child. That split second was the catalyst of the thoughts that are upcoming. I'll first describe the spilt second, then give my opinion. Again, I will say, it might be nothing to some of you and I welcome retort. As I drove home, I seen a man, say late 30's, maybe early 40's, on roller blades (that's not the questionable act.........) and as I passed him, he picked his child up, maybe 3-4 years old, and wrap her around his neck and begin to roller blade down the street.
So, personally, since I was on the phone with my lovely wife, I said some words that might have rhymed with "duck, ducking bashole, and jackass. Ok, that last one was obvious. But seeing this enraged me. Not for the fact of the roller blades, in the right setting they I guess, can be fun, but it was for the fact you are putting a child, around your neck, the top most part of your balance, and beginning an action where balance, is paramount. Even if this was Joey McGarry (look him up) the child becomes the variable here, and you are depending on a child who probably does not fully understand consequences, to make your ride free from injury. Maybe he did go along and not have an accident, maybe he crashed horribly and he used the child as an airbag, I don't know. What I do know, that this is an instance where the probability of getting off without injury, is no better than 50/50. Does this make me a bad person, to think this guy was being careless? I will not make a judgement about his parenting over all, but I do feel that what he was doing was borderline, on a bunch of things.
And being that I am not with child, no babies in this nest, yet, I don't know if its my place to think he was showing bad parenting by putting his kid in harms way. I obviously have not played with my own baby, so is it just a situation where you will do anything to make your baby smile, and laugh? Or was this over the line? I think most have seen the yoga lady with her baby. And personally I think that's 100% child abuse. Throwing a baby up in the air is cute, throwing it around like a rag doll and calling it yoga is criminal. You know I had a whole story and trying to correlate the whole yoga thing to me driving drunk into a McDonald's, but I just couldn't finish it off. Just thought you all should know, damn, it would have been hilarious too. Another time.
So, parents out there, am I just being a nervous Nelly here? Was that just a parent being a parent, or was this really just some dumb ass, fuck stick who was a pebble in the road away from doing severe harm to his child? I believe you can get my impression of how I feel about it, through my loving tones, and beautiful use of the noun "fuck stick". But I guess this is a rant I would like feedback on. Right below the ending, is a button, it says comment, use it! Would love to hear from parents, or just anyone with a view on this. Again, sorry for the lack of Rants these past few days, hope yall stick with me! So hide your kids, hide your wife, but do tell them about this site. And follow me on Twitter at Alloystang for updates on the blog. Peter, its 7 in the morning......Thanks for the update Big Ben.
