What exactly are you trying to say?

I found myself asking that very question this morning when I made the decision to finally put this together. Exactly what the hell is this blog about? What knowledge am I attempting to impart? Why oh why am I doing this now?

 
The last question is really the most important. I'm writing this, I'm doing this, because I am responsible for raising 3 amazing/annoying/artistic/audacious/awesome (and those are just the A's) boys who have the pleasurable misfortune of calling me Dad. I look at my boys and I worry about the men they might someday become; worry because as I scan their potential influences and role-models, from the Fictitious and Famous to the Living and Local, I realize that the world is filled, almost to the breaking point, with guys who just don't get that they really don’t get it. A clueless crowd of ridiculous macho caricatures who have no idea what it means to be a real Man, let alone a real Husband, Father, Lover or Partner. I look at these "men" and then I look at my boys and I think to myself: I did not go through hours upon hours of excruciating sitting-in-the-chair-while-you-were-being-birthed just to have you go down the wrong path.

 
So I need to learn my kids and learn them well. But I also know that I cannot be with them every step of the way and eventually they will glean habits and intell from society at large, however broken that society may be. That...all of that...led me to my mission: Teach the men of the world to be real Men, in a blatant attempt to make my parenting job a little less frustrating.

 
Who then is my target audience? Well that is completely open to debate. I'll offer a touch of insight and then let you choose who should or should not take a swig from my Fountain Soda of Knowledge.


Ladies: This is not a place to bash the penile possessors. Yes, I will no doubt call out annoyances as I see fit but it is very important that you realize I am not here to belittle the entire male species. There are a whole bunch of guys out there who already think like I do, who already know how to be spectacular. Some of you have already found them; others might want to check their local Friend Zone.

 
Fellas: Many of you will find this blog purely entertaining and filled with a spectacular set of Wits. For that you can thank me later. And you other guys? I'll say this: If you read something here that sounds like I'm making fun of You in particular, chances are you should really read this more often...and more carefully...and slower...possibly re-writing it 1000x on loose leaf paper.

 
As for what topics I’ll be covering, well the list is as long and varied as the types of people who swear they don’t enjoy porn. There’ll be a little something for everyone. Most posts will follow me through a particular portion of my normal day as I attempt to keep my wife Smiling, my children Breathing, my car Running, my film projects Filming and my day gig Sucking (I’ve resigned myself to that one).

 
I shall do my best to keep most posts Family Friendly but in the event that a particular rant finds itself a touch more Blue I will always, always give a fair amount of proper warning, unlike Karma, burrito-laden-digestive-tracks or selfish lovers.

 
So strap in, get comfy and pour yourself a nice glass of something. I’ll do my best to keep the posts coming regularly and you do your best to share the knowledge. Hopefully between us both we can do something simple, like change the world one dumbass at a time.
