Knock, knock.

by aaron on March 24th, 2009

So I heard a knock at the door this afternoon and I opened it to two college-age-looking guys who greeted me by saying, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing bad.” Greeeat. Then the one on the left started telling me how they were doing an exercise for a class dealing with public speaking. I told them that was fine, but I had a baby in the other room I needed to tend to, so I didn’t have time to listen to what they had to say. The guy (on the left) responded by saying that I didn’t need to be around the baby all the time, it would be fine to stay and listen because baby’s hearts keep on beating just like ours. I responded by shutting the door in his face.

Books

Sebastian firmly believes that books belong scattered about the floor, NOT neatly stacked on bookshelves.

“Some people fancy themselves as being “creative”, or ”creative-types” because they have a lot of ideas. Cool. You have ideas. So does my 3 year old. That doesn’t make you creative. An idea without implementation isn’t creation. It’s imagination. By definition, being creative requires that you create something.”

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide whether it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they’re deciding, make even more art.”

Dear Sebastian

One of my new favorite things is falling asleep in the glider while you take a nap in my arms. I always feel like I’m getting away with something, like I should be putting you into the crib so I can get more work done. But I let myself enjoy it, watching you smile and listening to you breathe, because I know before long you will be too big for me to hold you in my arms.

I’m hearing what sounds like a howler monkey coming from the nursery :)

I feel like I’ve been lost for a long time and now I am committing to finding myself again. Starting now.

Cup

Watching Sebo drink out of a cup is just precious. Gotta get that on video!

Argh.

by aaron on March 5th, 2009

So it’s frustrating once again to see on one side of me, NFL players deliberating whether or not to sign deals for $24-million a season (that’s for 16 games, right?) and then on the other side of me, enormous banks getting billions on top of billions of our tax dollars to avoid going out of business. These same banks that are getting my tax dollars have decided to triple my credit card interest rate to the point that we literally cannot afford to pay our bills this month. If the banks are getting all this money to help with their debt, why are they making it harder for me to pay mine?

This could turn into a looooong soapbox rant, but I’m not going to get into it. At least not today. Just a bit frustrated.
