lulz, ya, our kid may rebel by

A) thinking tattoos are lame
B) enjoying pop or classical music

... he's heard HSC2 (not to mention bboys in general) about a bazillion and 2 times so far in his little 4 months of life. He laughed for the 1st time last weekend and ugh, it slayed me!!!! <3

There were supposed to be some pics here but I messed it up so I edited. I've been a member since June of '04 and I've never posted a pic...at all. So I will keep messing this up until I get it right. Should be good for a couple of laughs.

Sounds like you are hanging on to some old baggage, my friend. You need to let that go and move on.

Wrong pic, camo. I was dressed as Robin.

This is what's kept me so busy recently. And he's made me grow up quite a bit.

[ericlee]

Thanks. Good to be back. Although I never went anywhere but I just haven't been on the board in a really long time. I got married, had a son, started a business development business with my wife, etc. I've just been busy getting my shit together, you know? Not the same knucklehead I was a few years ago. LOL

[Helvete]

You mean you don't rollerblade away with people's wallets? Oh well, congratulations and good to hear from you.

[Documad]

Congratulations hardknox, what a cutie! I'm glad you got your shit together.

And Jenny's latest photo makes my heart melt. I love laughing babies.

I WANT!

Is he old enough to fall for the "puppy in my van" trick? Because he's so cute, I want to steal him.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Oh bless, he is absolutely adorable!

Damn I had the same thought. Remember how much work they are tho!

Adorable. Many congrats. To Jenni B too.

Ok, it's time to clear this up once and for all. Let this be read by one and all, far and wide.....

what I did three or four years ago was wrong. I should have returned that guy's wallet. I fully and completely do not contest that fact anymore. I was a jerk and thinking only of myself. That's how I was living back then. My life was a mess and the majority of the situations that I would post about I was bringing upon myself (fights, jail, etc).

Well, that's not me anymore. I firmly believe that what you put out into the world comes back to you...several times over. People call it karma. Karma is real and, man, she is a bitch. Believe me when I tell you that the shit I've done to other people (only a fraction of which you know about) has come back to bite me in the ass one way or another. Over the years, I've had my comeuppance.

I read a quote by James Baldwin a few years back that says: "People pay for what they do, and still more, for they've allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it simply: by the lives they lead." I don't think I've ever read anything in my life that has had such an impact upon my thoughts and attitudes and behavior.

So, I invite you, Helvete, to allow the past to be just that...the past. And join me in the here and now.

[Helvete]

It's okay, I was goofing, I don't think you're a bad person. Good on you for what you're doing now and here's to you being an awesome dad. We've all made mistakes, it's how we chose to deal with them and where we go from there that matters.
