  • I live in an asylum. Sadly, the walls are not stuffed, nor do the doors lock. Yes, it is an asylum ran by the insane. #parenthood #
  • My house, where the walls are canvases, the couch is a plate, and the floors are a giant sandbox. And the laundry literally is ALIVE. #

The Eager Movie

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love movies. I am sure there is some deep profound psychological secret there, but I am not one to pry into my own subconscious.

After all, I can be introspective later. When I am having a midlife crises or some shit like that. And then I can use it as an excuse the buy a sports car and get some doll hair or whatever. But anyways, I really like movies.

I hope I am able to translate my love of movies to at least one of kids. I know it is selfish of a parent to want their kids to love the same stuff they do, but I hope that at least one of my kids is able to share it with me. I hope that I can show them all the great movies I loved growing up and that at some level, they will appreciate them just as much as I did.

So of course, being a dad now, I want a movie buddy.

And I can’t wait to show Star Wars (the original trilogy)… and Indiana Jones… and Star Trek (even the crappy ones)… and the list just goes on and on and on. I want to see the looks in their eyes when Vader reveals his secret to Luke, and when Indy fights the Turbans in the Market, and when the Whales crest in the San Francisco bay. So many moments that I never really shared with anyone as a kid, I could have the chance to share by proxy with my kids.

I hope. Perhaps it is a foolish thing to want, but I am hoping there is some glimmer of it in their faces. Something that says “This is awesome”.

  • Need an in-and-out burger in denver co. Or a blue sjy from amarillo tx in denver would be better. God I love blue sky burgers. #

  • Of course if you go to amarillo, there is 1 restaurant for every 5 people, so you have your choise of eateries. Fireslice Pizza is good too. #

  • Jon Stewart's appearance on Fox with O'Reilly was a subtle (ok, not subtle) bitch slap. Is it wrong to have a #StewartCrush If so, tough. #
