“Smell My Breasts”

February 28th, 2008 at 11:12 pm » Comments (0)

“Smell my breasts”. These were the words of my innocent little four year old tonight after brushing his teeth. I wish there was more I could say/write but I think he said it all in those three words.
The knowledge that makes us cherish innocence makes innocence unattainable.

MY SERVER’S PHP IS BEING UPGRADED. THERE SEEMS TO BE ERRORS OCCURRING. I WILL TEND TO ALL OF IT ONCE I’M HOME.
This has been a quick week! It seems like we just got here and it’s already time to go home in a couple days. Taking three young children through Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, [...]



Posting Disney Pics Live

February 10th, 2008 at 2:47 am » Comments (2)

I added a “Photos” page that you can find in the upper right hand corner. I’ll be posting live, pretty much as soon as I take them. I know a lot of them are meaningless to most but it’s my blog and it’s a good way to share with my family and friends all the [...]



Rant

I love to talk. I haven’t always been like that (some might argue) but I have become worse since being a stay home parent. I think, more for men, that being “at home” can make for a lonelier life than that of a person working outside of the home.
During the day my conversations usually don’t [...]

Life Would Be Better Lived Backwards

 I found this great blog post on this site. I love it!! People that know me know that I’m terrified of death and the finality of the whole thing. I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing that makes sense to me is that we return to what we were before we were born. I [...]



One Reason I’m a Stay Home Dad

When you’re in your office can you turn around and see this?

There are times during the day that I lose it with laughter. This was one of those times but pretty mild compared to some of the stuff I’ve seen them do or heard them say. The funny stuff usually revolves around something the older [...]



Sorry, I’m Indecisive

I know, the design of my blog keeps changing. I’m trying to find “the one”. I used to have “the one” until I lost “the one”.  Remember to back up your blog’s database. Don’t lose it all because of laziness, like me..lol



What the Hell Happened?

What the hell went wrong? The kid had no criminal record, no mental issues, was an Honor Student at one of the best schools in the country, a student athlete, and an interview away from being an Eagle Scout. How can someone not have a mental illness and kill their father, mother, and two brothers while [...]



Yes, We Can.

I had been supporting (quite a big word for what I have to offer..lol) Hillary for the Democratic nominee. Now, my position has changed and I am now a Barrack Obama supporter. I think we about to experience something on the level of John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King. George Bush has [...]
