You don’t get more gangsta than Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte

My son, via his sister, started making me listen to 3oh!3.  Now, ya gotta understand from the get-go, I hate gangsta.  I hate every single thing about it.  When it’s not disgusting me, it’s boring me.  If you can’t sing, rap.  If you can’t rap, gangsta.  All you have to do is borrow every cliche about prison life and poof,… (more…)

High School Musical 3

Friday night kinda got screwed up for me.  I had decided I wanted to see City of Ember with the boy.  I was kind of leary of this decision, but there was nothing else on for a kid here other than High School Musical 3, which I absolutely did not want to see at all.  Going back as far as… (more…)

Bad Daddy: The Pumpkin Pie episde

School teaches children many wonderful things.  Sometimes, however, they teach small impressionable children things that parents really don’t need them to know.  In this case, that pumpkin pie comes from real live pumpkins.  This caused me issues. Moonlet came home from school with a tiny pumpkin they got to pick out of a local pumpkin patch.  He informed me it… (more…)

Spelling and conceptualizing

Moonlet started kindergarten this year.  I was kinda worried that he would suddenly become retarded or something.  Very quickly my concerns were soothed.  He spells constantly now.  I mean, as in non-stop, all-day.  Nothing is beyond spelling.  When there is nothing to spell, we make up words and spell them.  This has even spilled over into bigger issues in the… (more…)

Moonlet and Elvis

Moonlet and I went to see an Elvis impersonator for an American Cancer Society fundraiser last night.  This guy was a blast.  Looked kinda like Elvis, sounded a LOT like Elvis, and bantered very well with the audience.  Totally enraptured by the presentation, my boy decided to park right in front of the stage.  “Elvis” asked him his name pretty close… (more…)

Batman: The Dark Knight

Amazon.com Widgets We went to see The Dark Knight last night.  I’ll tell you what.  I’ve not been a fan of the Batman movie series at all.  I’ve seen most of them, but even with all the big booms and fights, they bore me.  Everything’s grey, everyone talks in monotone, everthing’s serious.  Now, I grew up with the Adam West… (more…)

Learning to swim

Yesterday Moonlet reached an important milestone in my book.  Always loving the water, it was sort of a key point to me that he learn how to swim and enjoy the water as much as I have.  For several years we took all the baby steps to getting there.  Playing in baby pools, playing in wave pools, throwing him in… (more…)

Things that go BOOM!

This is how me and Moonlet enjoy a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon: Mill Springs

Moonlet the engineer

I guess from having my first kid at a somewhat advanced age, therefore knowing that as soon as possible, I’ll need him carting me around, I started teaching him how to drive appropriate transportation at probably too young of an age.  First it was small boats, then it was small aircraft.  Today, we moved on to something a little bigger.… (more…)

Snakes on a plane

Last night, the step-Moon girl couldn’t eat food at the dinner table without noise.  So, she turned on the tv to a channel that was showing nothing anyone wanted to watch and proceeded to consume her meal.  After eating, she did what all teens do, got up and left.  I did as well as Moonlet and me decided to play… (more…)
