I think maybe this blog is giving some people the wrong impression.

One of my friends messaged that she liked the blog and that “You must be an amazing dad! : )”

I laughed and laughed.

I don’t have it all, or anything, figured out. I don’t want this blog to be like; I am dispensing wisdom from on high. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I don’t know what I am doing. I mostly feel like Bryan Cranston’s character in Malcolm in the Middle. Hairy, confused, and covered in Ketchup.

Although sometime I feel like I am turning into his character on Breaking Bad: pant less, in my tighty whities, running for safety.

This blog is a forum for me to put words to thoughts and feelings that I have on where I would like to be. When I pontificate on points I am trying to remind and convince myself as much as anyone else.

Most of the advice is geared towards me. Past ruminations that are addressed at me:

Don’t judge yourself by “success”

Don’t compare yourself to others

Being patient with myself and others

Don’t resent my wife for taking breaks but be a man and watch my own kids without grumbling

Live life to the fullest, don’t be a wuss and chose the safe path

Stop faffing about and take a shower

Me, me, me, me, me, not me, just checking if you paying attention.

I really hope these words connect with others but I am working me and not judging you. Hoping we can take this journey together.
