I was geared up and ready to rip you until I read this.

The other stuff is just other stuff. Combined, 1 through 5 don't come close.

It's all about the kids

good post.

i don't have any kids yet (or well at least to my knowledge [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]) but when i do i hope i can keep this perspective.

I think you will. I had my girl kinda late in life (I'm 41, she's 2) and we're going for a sib for her. Something about being older makes it more special. Even though I never thought I could be so tired, and she's a terrible two if ever there was one [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Just means she has a strong personality which is great.

You go Jake. When I put up my "I smoked too much weed and now I'm paying for it" post I mentioned you as the person I coulda been more like at this point in life if I hadn't wasted so much precious time. Your life is better than you think.

My folks were alcoholics, I'm not saying this about you; but laying off that depressant is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family. Good luck.

I worked late...skipped the bar. Got home a little earlier than usual. Played with the boy. Put him to bed. Went running. Awesome run!!! Did my 5 in :38 flat, which is faster than I have been. As I was starting, there was a lot of lighning and thinder. Halfway through the clouds just opened up and poured. It was awesome! I literally threw back my head and howled into the wind. O'm about 100% sure I looked like an idiot but it felt great!

Oh Jesus, dude. I give you about two weeks of this "love my kids, love my life, love my job" crap until you start acting like a normal human again. Being this perfect isn't healthy.

2. Do my job better. Part of it is all the time I spend on 00T so I’ll be cutting way back on my posting frequency, something that will make some of you very happy. I also just haven’t been getting things done because I haven’t really taken the time to make myself care to. I’m changing that.
