Time for the Claws to Come Out

You don't know me, you never met me, and you will likely never read this. But if you do, there are two things you should know about me:
1. Your daughter is a very dear friend of mine
2. If you lay another finger on her again, I swear to God I'll kick your ass into next Tuesday.

I might not live around you or see your daughter in person on a regular basis, but don't get me wrong, I know damn well what's going on inside that house. No matter what you may think, you have no right to intentionally cause harm to someone, especially to your own child. You also do not have the right to emotionally abuse and manipulate your daughter like you have been doing. You are a bad father, and I should know: my own father had substance abuse problems that lead to him to emotionally abuse my little sister and I. But, at least he never lifted a finger against us...and he got help. I can't say the same about you.

If you continue this, not only do you risk an ass-kicking by me, but you're going to lose any chance of a relationship with your daughter. Though to be honest, you don't deserve it.

It's a shame, really: tons of couples can't conceive and in my state, same-sex couples are legally barred from adopting. You have a terrific daughter, and you treat her like shit. That's not right, and karma has a way of giving people their just desserts.

Now I Follow People

So I figured, now that I've jumped on the bandwagon with this shiny new blog, I should follow some other blogs.

On FJ, a forum that I frequent, many of the users post links to their personal blogs. I went through the list and followed a few that I liked.

So, if you've come over here wondering who the hell this Gaffe person is who is following you...hi!!! I'm a fellow FJian who thought you had a cool blog!! :D

I also may post a link to my blog there too...just have to remember that.

Memorial Day

So, today is Memorial Day, a day that we in the United States remember those who served our country in the armed forces.

It was really, really, really bitching hot. I'm home right now, with my parents who want to wait as long as possible before turning on the AC. So our house was a furnace today. Yaaaay!!! ^_^ /sarcasm.

I did get one chuckle today. A former classmate posted on Facebook a rather arrogant status update about how we should remember why we have the day off and how we don't give enough support to the veterans...it was really presumptuous of the guy, because what exactly constitutes proper observance of our veterans? Anyway, someone else posted as a comment an awesome answer: "What day off?"

Anywho, Happy Memorial Day!!!

One good thing that came out of Twilight

I present Michael Sheen, doing a dramatic reading of some twelve year old's Twilight fanfiction. Enjoy.


Look guys, I'm blogging now!

So, I've started a blog.  Finally.  Yes, I know I'm late on the bandwagon, but I like to do things on my own schedule.

The point of this blog is simple:  I'm opinionated and I need a place to put those opinions.  I tried putting it in a diary, but that tends to be where I put much more personal information.  Not to mention, sometimes I get a little vain and/or in need of reassurance I'm not the ONLY one that thinks this way, so I want something slightly more public.   Plus, I usually get these opinions via surfing the web, so why not put them somewhere on the web.

So, here we are.  I have no set schedule for posts so they'll show up when I feel like it.  I won't be revealing my true identity, my exact location, or pictures of myself because 1. I'm not an idiot and 2. I'm getting a juris doctorate in two years and I would a shot at a job, thank you very much.  Though some of my real life friends might be told about this.

Oh, and about my name.  When I was a teenager, I had a very long screen name that certain interwebz friends shortened to its initials: GAF.  GAF is pronounced "gaffe" and hey, we're all prone to gaffes every once in a while, myself included.  This isn't the screen name I currently use in forums and the like, though, so if you see another "Gaffe" posting somewhere, it likely isn't me.  Unless I decide to use it for later screen names, and that case, yes, it is me.

Lost you already?  Get used to it, I have a habit of rambling sometimes and I haven't gotten over it yet.

Oh, and I'm also heavily considering adding another blog (already, right?) for a project I kinda wanna do, a TWOP style recap of something I liked as a kid.  If I get the guts to do it, I'll let you know.

Baaaai!!!
