ABOUT ME
I swear the last thing I remember was throwing down a couple of pitchers with the boys, and pondering my biggest worry in life: how not to appear too hung over at the office tomorrow. Then I awoke, holding my breath in front of this Diaper Genie contraption cursing myself for not leaving enough tag end to tie it off. How did I get here?
Better yet, where do I go from here?
That pretty much sums up my initiation into the world of fatherhood. Somebody shoved a scepter into my hands with the letters D-A-D on it, pushed me onto the stage and said "dance, fool, dance."
One awesome 8-year-old boy, newborn girl, a lovely wife, two dogs, and a picket fence later, I'm still shuffling my feet trying to find my rhythm as a kick ass dad. And as with any endeavor of this magnitude, it deserves to be documented. So I started this blog.
A little bit about me...
- I’m married to d Wife. She’s my reality check and makes this household greater than merely the sum of its parts.
- We have 2 dogs, Krypto and BJ, both adopted. Krypto ambushes me when no one’s home. BJ is the girly dog who forces me to be secure with my sexuality.
- Fury is my 8-yr old son. If wit is an indicator of greatness, that kid will rule the world someday. You better start getting on his good side now, people.
- Lessi is my newborn daughter. They say it only takes about 10 lbs of pressure in the right spot to knock a man out. I know for a fact it only takes 7lbs, 6 oz.
- For 15 years, I called myself a fighter. Muay Thai and MMA were my life. Becoming a working dad has shelved all this. But I can still beat up your dad, so it’s all good.
- My guitar aches to be played. But instead it collects dust better than an Ionic Breeze. My badass 4x4 Chevy Pickup does did (sold it to pay for private school last year) pretty much the same.
- I wish I had a Harley, but I promised myself that if I did not have one by the time I had a kid, I would wait until he was 18 so he wouldn’t have to be raised on life insurance benefits. That, and d Wife won’t let me...
You are now caught up.
