What's Wrong?!

I know it's been a long time since my last blog, but I've been very busy these days. I guess that's a good thing with the economy the way it is. When I saw the story about the Dallas police officer, I was outraged but not surprised. I just read a similar story where a guy had his dying mom in the car and the police officer acted the same way. From the "accidental" shooting that happened in Oakland to this. It seems like you read stories like this more & more all because of some narcissistic cop abusing his power. It's kind of scary when you got someone who barley made it out of high school have so much authority. Don't get me wrong, I know being a cop is hard and very stressful, but if you had a choice, who would pick to be a cop? The pay is bad and it's one of the most dangerous you can think of. The sad part about it is that he'll probably get a paid vacation and go back to work after a few sensitivity classes. Is it just me or is there something really wrong here? It should be a privilege to be a police officer. Because the power that they have, they should be held to a higher standard than everyone else. You know this guy didn't care about that family and their situation, he just wanted to let them know who was in charge. If you check his facebook, you can see that he's only sorry he got caught.

How do you know you're getting old?

What's the worst part of getting older? Is it not being able to do some of the things we used to do? Noticing a few more gray hairs or when the first time some kids say yes sir or no ma'am? All those things maybe the case, but what stuck out to me was that I have lost several people close to me. I know everyone has deaths in their live, but just a few years ago I would boast how I still had both of my grandmothers in my life. Now I sit hear thinking how my children will never get a chance to feel the love that they gave me. It seems like the older I get, the people closest to me pass away. It starts with a grandparent here, then an uncle, maybe a cousin, a friend...sound familiar? Sorry if I sound so grim, but I hadn't experienced a death in the family until I was an adult, never even thought of it growing up.

As I sit here almost middle aged , I think about getting old. Not in a sense that my life is on the down hill, but who will I lose next? I know you can't go through life thinking that way, but that's what this blog is for. I guess it's like a force taking everyone around that you love anyway until it eventually gets you. Is this how it works? If so, that part of getting "old" sucks!!!!
