I’m sitting in a dark garage right now waiting for the host of the party to “release” me. This is a fun fucking gig, folks.

Ridiculous that you think the current DOJ wouldn't be first in line to just try to buy the kids. They have a whole-ass island for that.D’awww!

Born on the cob
Not to drudge up the kid talk, but my boyfriend and I went to visit his best friend in Maine this past weekend for her daughter's 3rd birthday, and man that kiddo is cute. So funny and smart, and, as weird as it is to say, so easy to get along with. Some kids are little devils, but she was so calm- the kind of kid that just makes you happy because of all the joy they're getting out of the littlest things.
It always gets me thinking about having kids myself and if I really do want them. I enjoy kids enough for the most part, and kids seem to really like me and how goofy and awkward I am, but I wonder how much of that is because they're not mine and I know there's an escape at the end of the day. I'm a guy who not only wants, but needs his sleep, his quiet, all that. Not to mention the monetary aspect, when it's hard enough to come by funds as-is. It's a bit more difficult and ivolved for same sex couples, since I ain't got a lady friend to do the deed with, so it's a matter of finding a good donor or surrogate or what have you. Adopting is always an option, of course, but my boyfriend and I stubbornly want to continue our bloodlines somehow. I also haven't really done any sort of testing or anything to see how efficient the ol' boys really are. I went through some cancer treatments a number of years back around that region and, perhaps stupidly, have never really followed up to see if anyone's still swimming.
I definitely worry about the genetics of it all too. My sister, as much as I love her and can see how far she's come, definitely did inherit a lot of my Dad's anger issues, and I know it's played a part in raising her kiddo. Granted, I'm in therapy to help with a lot of that and she isn't, so maybe I'd be better, but I do certainly worry about having kids and not raising them right or passing something along via genetics or attitude. I think I want to make up for his faults and be such a good parent that I may end up circling back around to being kind of a crappy, impatient one. I know it's something everyone struggles with, but I just know I'd be harder on myself than I probably need to be.
I suppose I'll let things play out. If I'm destined to have kiddos, then I will. If not, I'll continue being the (hopefully) cool Guncle that I am now. I wouldn't mind dressing up as Krampus or the Grinch for the kiddos in my life.
