A punk rock piercing artist, turned settled down dad. I was a piercing artist working in tattoo shops for years and getting drunk and into fights at hardcore shows. Now I work in LP, trying to live clean, and spend my days hanging out with my son Liam born 7-14-11

I made a huge mistake… I added an additional 10 blogs last week. I must have found all the ones I’ve been warned about.

When Liam can’t sleep and is fussy trying to get to sleep it makes me feel bad. Not for me or mom, but for him. I wonder a lot why he gets so sassy when he is sleepy, and when he whines and cries I think he is in Pain.

The hardest thing about parenting I’ve always said is the choice you have to make to have more money to provide for your family or to make less and spend more time at home.

I’m starting to think the hardest part of being a parent for me to a newborn/infant/baby is the constant worry if they are scared, in pain, uncomfortable, sick, hurt, sad, angry, or just all around not happy.

Friend looking at superhero masks: look there is 3, one for each of us.

Me: But who will be which one?

Friend: Well he is hulk because he is massively tall, I guess I would be captain America because I'm a red state.

Me: That leaves me to be iron man... I would be so popular on tumblr

Friend: What's tumbler?

Me: It's nothing, let's talk about me being a super rich playboy some more.

My bosses boss just told me I was nominated for a market employee of the month award. My first words in return “f#@k off, you liar” which brought hilarity to everyone in the room. Are they trying to butter me up into not searching for a higher pay job at a competitor because with my qualifications I could, even though I look like street trash. Or is this some clever plot to make it look like I schemed a way into nominating myself? Either way I’m thinking into this too much, and too little in how easy it was to say “F#@k off” to a room full of suited management.

See this guy…. He just weighed himself after counting calories and eating right for a week! 

And gained 2lbs, could I have done everything right and ruined it all with 12 beers in 2 days? 

I won’t even fit on rollercoasters tomorrow at this rate.

There are a few people that if I had to put into words how amazing they are I wouldn’t be able to do it. These are people that I follow and a ton of others do also, and that I always click on their actual blogs and not just wait for them on my dash. A few have sent Liam things when we were down on our luck, some have just said kind words that have brought myself and my family way up, and a couple are just always there to answer questions or are all around great people. Some of them are as follows that you need to also love and adore. (these are all @ their name .tumblr.com)
