This Is Not Home Away From Home

When we book hotels for whatever reason, whether it is for work or a vacation, most of us do our homework.  We read reviews and read through all the details on the website, in fact, I won't even stay at a hotel that does not have ample information on the website.  So, I did that... and still?  The hotel I am in this week has little to be desired!

When I first went in search of a hotel in the area that work was sending me, I was sort of directed to this one by my boss.  He stayed here when he traveled here for business.  Apparently, he doesn't have high hotel standards!  And I really don't as a rule.  My main criteria for a hotel is a fridge in the room, a decent internet connection and a some what decent breakfast, oh an NO BUGS!!!!  I read reviews specifically for any comments about creepy crawlies!

Well, let me just say, this hotel sucks!  The internet is SLOW, the TV has very few channels, the breakfast?  No, it is NOT a breakfast!  And to top it off, my co-worker found a bed bug in his room!  Um, to say the least, I am not a happy camper.  I am venting in a blog for now, but when I leave, I will be leaving my own personal review on their website, and I will NOT be staying here ever again. 

I very rarely find a reason to complain about a hotel, and I probably could deal with the slow internet, the lack of decent food, and I really do not care much about the TV, but the bugs?  Yeah... I care! 

On the brighter side.... they do have a fridge.  They have entire mini kitchen in fact, with a stove, sink and dishwasher!  If not for the bug, I would probably rate this hotel about a 2.5 - 3, however, since a bug was discovered.... rate will be lower.  They did upgrade my co-worker to an executive suite, however, not sure that was worth knowing there was a bug.

Circle Of Darkness

The damage done to a child by poor parenting, or lack thereof, unfortunately can go unseen for decades.  It is also true that the damage can trickle down into younger generations.  This behavior becomes a pattern, so much so that full dysfunction erupts within the gene pool.  So where does it end?  When does the damage that has ripped one's soul apart without as much as a hint of being, end? It ends when tears are shed from the darkened soul and light may finally beam through the iron clad wall that holds the fortress together.  One crack is all that is needed to begin the destruction of a wall so thick, that normal is like an earthquake to the inhabitants. Where does it begin?  What is the foundation to a wall such as this?  This darkness and turmoil begins at the root, at the base of one's core.  It is how the world and those within it have nurtured or not.  It's like taking a flower and either watering and fertilizing it or letting it cling to life one drop of rain to

Our World Is A Horrible Place

As I look around and view the world, it deems itself to be a horrible place.  Not because the world iteself is ugly, but the people within it.  The way we treat each other is killing humanity.  But, who is to blame?  Over the course of my lifetime, I have brushed off most of what does not directly affect me, and kept going on with life.  Only in the recent years have I stopped to take a really good look around me.  And as I ponder the sights I see, I realize why it took me so long to look.  People do stupid things, make stupid decisions, suffer the consequences and blame everyone else for their own stupidity.   If I CHOSE, because MY life is just that... MY choice, to not go to work and get fired for my poor attendance, that would be MY fault, therefore, I would have to right to take that out on someone else.  So, how is it right for someone else to have a bad day, because we all have them, and vent our frustrations in irreversable fashions? Venting.... it's a natural thing,

Expressing My Thoughts

Image
Sometimes I look at life and ponder it's purpose, as does most people.  Then I look around, and I see the surface of what seems to be other's portraying happiness, or content, whichever the case may be. But I question it.  Are they really happy?  Are their smiles facades to avoid prying?  I do not fake smile, I do not shine light into my darkness.  I do not mask my pain.  I wear it, out in the open, for the world to see. I have been alone my entire life.  Always around people, yet, ultimately alone.  I like to do things my way, yet everyone seems to have an opinion on how my way isn't their way, yet, I didn't hear them volunteer to do it.  I shun their ideas, as I did not ask for their opinions.  These sorts of situations just thickens the wall (mental and emotional) that I have built throughout my lifetime.   I treat people as I want to be treated, therefore, I do not offer my opinion into their lives, nor do I pry into their situations.  But just because I
