Since this is my first blog on this site, or the tangent that I seem to be on right this second, I'm not really sure what to start writing about... I'm just sick of the "conventional wisdom" that everyone seems to think they abide by, while in reality, most people are total hypocrits!
I'm not trying to insult anyone personally, I'm guilty of it myself. But being a single father, without a college degree, and traveling around the country, it seems that people in my situation never really get heard on any subject. So I'm here for them.
Since when does my lack of a college education make you (and I say "you" meaning people in general, this is just me bitching randomly..) smarter than me? Or in any way better than me?
Why is it that young single mothers who work to care for their kids get praised for their resiliency, while a father in the same shoes gets looked down upon because he is stereotyped as the dad who will run out like so many do?
So I had a child with a girl I'd known for three months when I was 21.. But I sure as hell tried for three years to make it work with his mom. And I wouldn't trade one second with him for anything that being 21 and carefree again could bring me. I dropped college to work more hours that sucked ass for way too long to make sure my baby and his mother had everything they could ever want. Does anything about that make me the bad person that people seem to think I am? Anyone, feel free to let me know. Either way, right or wrong.
I'm basically on this tonight because someone at my Mom's church had the nerve to tell me that "I need to find God" when I walked by her in the grocery store with my kid and no wedding ring. Kinda pissed me off... I'll be back tomorrow with another subject. Hopefully a little lighter than this one....

About Me
- A Normal Guy...
- I consider myself pretty much your average guy... Not the "average" guys that have trust funds and jobs waiting out of college, but the guy who made enough mistakes and bad decisions for a thousand lifetimes, but somehow managed to crawl from the wreckage every time. Trust me, there are more of us out there than you would think. I love my family, love my home, and I love my son more than anything in the world. BUT... I do have a lot to accomplish to be where I wanted to be two years ago. Problem is, there's always that first drink that gets in the way. Then it brings friends.... HA! Really though, I'm workin my ass off to get there, this whole blogging thing is just a pressure relief valve for me. I travel constantly for work and spend way too much time alone not to bitch about stuff to someone. So, I chose the internet..
