It's for you.

So I guess I don't need to know who the fuck I'm talking to before I pick up the phone, right?  My boss just never bothers to ask anymore.  Somebody will call for me and he'll just buzz me, "It's for you."  Gee thanks, boss.

Meanwhile, we're screening all these calls for him because he owes so many people so much money.

I just wanted to get that out of my system.  Sorry for cursing.

Something important.

So I get an instant message this morning from my dad's sister.  "This is your aunt.  I need to talk about something important."  I freakin' clicked the ignore button.

You don't know me.  I don't know what you think is important, and I don't care.  Keep your problems to yourself please.

And if you have something good to offer me - like furniture or something - well, thanks but no thanks.  I don't hear from you, my closest relative geographically (apart from my mother), for so many years growing up.  And now you want to act like an aunt towards me?

Please.

I don't even care whose life is at stake, to be honest with you.  I have enough problems of my own.  And I don't wanna owe you a goddamn thing either.

Can't think of a title.

One of the reasons why I don't post here so much is because I always want to have a clever and appropriate title.  And I end up thinking so much about it that I actually forget the main points of what I wanted to write about.  Anyway, in an effort to post more often, I won't worry so much about it anymore and try to just jot down my thoughts as they come.

I'm gonna try to be more like Doogie Howser and write something down at the end of the show.  Oh man, now that show's theme song is stuck in my head.  I wish I had a band so we could write a punk cover of it.

I just wanted to write that things have been great lately.  Fatherhood is amazing.  To paraphrase what one of my clients said, I highly suggest finding a woman and trying it.

I've actually been pretty much genuinely happy.  The only thing that gets in the way is my fear of losing this joy.  The uncertainly at work is the biggest weight.  What would I do if I didn't have a job?

However, lately I've learned to just ignore the worries and take life as it comes.  I've just been having fun with my family, my co-workers and even my clients.

My son can stand by himself now.  It's only for about a second, but once in a while you'll catch him just standing in place.  The other night he did it and stared at me with this intense Bruce Lee expression.

He's been crawling pretty fast now.  Sometimes I'll turn around and suddenly he's not there anymore.  He's in the other room making trouble with his aunt.

He's had two lower teeth for a few months now, and he's currently growing two upper teeth.  It's really cute.  I love the little guy.

It's amazing how much he's changed from the little thing we brought home ten months ago.  And it's amazing how our lives have changed since then.
