why we do the things we do


this right here is why i get up in the morning. as usual, i couldn't sleep, and i started thinking about some horrible shit that made me a little depressed.


if i get hit by a bus and die tomorrow, will the little guy remember me?


not that this is all about me - it's just that there is so much i want (and look forward) to teaching him. things like how to tie a tie, how to throw a curve ball, how to find an appreciation for art, what to look for in a college, et al. there is so much! it's almost overwhelming.


one of my goals in life is to write a book (i'll probably post my full list of goals here some day - it's got shit in it like jump out of a plane, visit the pyramids, run a marathon, etc.). on my drive home the other day, i thought of a great book. it is a book for david, and in it are all the mistakes i have made throughout my life, and how to avoid them. i even thought of a title: "just in case i get hit by a bus". maybe one day i'll write it. for now, though, i think i'll go to sleep.

You made me drop a tear with this post. Beautiful and sweet... so sweet.
I hope you write your book some day, and when you do it, let me know 'cause i'll buy a copy.
