Welcome to my blog. Exciting isn’t it? I once clogged the toilet in a posh nouveaux bistro, and this feels quite similar. Uncomfortable. Yet strangely amusing. I mean, look, I plan on spilling my guts to you guys. I have a lot to say and the magazine can’t handle all of it. So, here’s my other outlet. I guess it’s like that rest-aurant experience in another way, too. I would have to plunge and clean up any mess for the mag, but for here, for this blog, I think it’d be fun to just let loose and walk away without too much worry about what I’ve left behind! Man, I’m a little sick sometimes. Let me get on with it before I lose friends or the little sense of dignity I have left…
So, I’m a dad now. I have little boy. His name’s Hudson. He’s 3 months old and he’s my answer to that ‘what’s the meaning of life’ question. It’s crazy, I feel like I’m the only person in the world with a child. I can stare at him forever. And what I’m finding amazing is how little changing his diapers bothers me! It’s like nothing. Even when he targets my face for a pee session doesn’t bother me. Spits up down my shirt who cares? Go ahead. Passes wind while I’m sniffing out the verdict on whether or not he went number two awesome. Love it. Nothing bothers me about him except the fact that I know time’s going to fly by so quickly that if I blink I might miss something. So, my answer? I stay up all night (or at least that’s the story I’m telling myself for now). I’m a little tired lately…but, man, what a send.
