In the past two days I’ve read about a Father gasing his children , A man killed by police when they were unable to stop him from kicking, punching and beating his toddler to death , families threatened with “Your child’s going to bleed” and it goes on and on.  Maybe I’m just becoming more aware of the world around me, but it seems like, as a species, we’re some evil mofos.  I know a lot of it has to do with Noah turning me into a big sappy baby, but what if this really is the trend?  How do you combat what the oxford medical dictionary calls “waste of life”?  I have no solution or anything funny to say.

I think I’m going to have my first mid life crisis in the next few weeks. I don’t know, it just seems like a good time for it. No one really knows when they’re gonna go, so why wait until your in your 40′s for that mid life crisis. I think I should have one every two years until I’m 40, I’ll up it to every year after that. Hey, never hurts to be prepared.  Being that this will be my first, I’m not entirely sure how it should go.

I’ve watched movies where the protagonist goes out and buys his dream car, neglecting to inform his better half beforehand, but it didn’t end real well for that dude. Something more moderate I think for a first timer.  That whole bucket list thing looked entertaining, but my bucket list has way too many things that would attract the attention of the fine men and women in blue and I don’t want my second mid life crisis to be spent convincing my cellmate that my name isn’t lola and I don’t know a darn thing about salad.

All I can think about so far is ordering a movie on pay per view (paying for a movie when I have netflix, that’s some craziness I tell you) and spending two hours eating popcorn and yelling “down in front” at the dogs.  Then I’ll probably get up and cut the grass or dust and vacuum or something like that. For some reason, my mid life crisis looks a lot like my weekends.

The 12th is Jessi’s birthday, she’s older then me, and we’re doing a nice relaxed get together to celebrate with her folks. We’re lumping together about 42 other parties that we have in June and just making a day out of it. She doesn’t know what I got her for her birthday, but I’ll give you a hint, it’s a triumph. We’re talking Huge Success. Seriously, it’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.  I think it’s going to be a good time. We’re heading to the zoo, then grabbing a bite to eat and hanging out for awhile.  Looking forward to it. Noah is doing well, no new ear infections. He still has some fluid in his ears, but we’re going to keep an eye on that and see how it works out.
