  It's Travo's 2nd Annual Christmas Party!

  Welcome to my Christmas party. If you read my blog, then you're invited. All of my Gamespot friends, and even the lurkers are welcome.So come in, take off your coats, grab a drink and some food, and enjoy yourself. I'm your gracious host......

  

  Travo!

  How about some food? Just finger foods here, but plenty for everyone.

  

  Maybe some refreshment...

  

  Sweet Tea! It doesn't get any better than that...

  

  Ok, maybe it does.

  This year I've included some dancing. We need more dancing at Gamespot. So find a partner and join us on the dance floor.

  

  Let's swing......dance that is.

  Alright, I hope you enjoy the party. Please feel free to mingle with the others and if you have any Christmas tunes in mind then just let me know. If you can't stay but a minute, that's fine. We're all busy this holiday season.

  Have a Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy the party.

  P.S. Remember the real reason for the season.

  A little rant.

  First of all let me preface this blog by saying that I don't consider myself to be a perfect parent in any way. I'm just merely commenting on things that should be common sense where I see a lack of it.

  I've noticed for quite some time the huge, incredible amount of selfishness in people, especially parents. All of you know that I am a teacher and interact with children and parents every day. It's unbelievable how many parents put their children in harms' way every day. Others neglect their children just because of selfishness or laziness. My sister-in-law, for example, has three children. All three are wearing clothes that are too small, look unkempt most of the time, while she enjoys her cigarrettes and soap operas. She lives two blocks from school, yet her five year old daughter has to wait on the bus in the morning. The bus that picks her up takes at least an hour on it's route before she is dropped off at school. All of this because she can't be bothered to walk her child two blocks to school.

  She is far from the ony one who does this. I have car duty at work and see parents smoking with their kids riding in the back, even with all that we know about second-hand smoke. Babies riding without car seats, children riding in the back of the car with pornographic magazines in the floorboard. We had to call DSS because one child came to school with a hand print on her face. It goes on and on.

  I don't know, maybe I'm a little sensitive to this stuff since I now have a five and a half month old child. What do you guys and gals think? Do you see this all the time or am I blowing this stuff out of proportion?

  Let's try this again.

  Well my Borderlands game night was big ol' dud. Some users had bad luck getting online, some had other priorities. Now let's try this again with a tried and true winner: Grand Theft Auto 4. I'm thinking we can all meet on Wednesday night, before Thanksgiving. If that doesn't work then we'll try Saturday. I know a few that have already expressed interest in playinfg this so maybe I''ll have better luck. If you're interested then leave a comment or pm me. We'll probably get started at about 7 or 8pm EST time.
