First Encounter with Fatherhood
It didn't feel real, the thing inside of her belly, a baby? How could I be sure? Maybe she's just getting fat, has really bad gas, and that's what feels like kicks. The ultrasound could have been a bean -- a really big bean -- a mutant bean that moves. I've seen it in a movie, I'm sure it could happen. Okay, maybe it was a cartoon. Either way I'm not ruling it out. I want to see it -- her -- him with my own eyes and hold him. That's when I'll believe.

Resolutions
New Year's resolution: lose weight, no swearing, wear more nice clothes, manage time, find the spark I lost. Find a way to make it to the gym: lift weights, cross body exercises, ride the bike. New Year's resolution: lose weight to wear the clothes for my age range. Discover how I could do things like find the spark I lost. Find a way to track the shit storm called my day and take all I've screwed up and make it right. New Year's resolution: lose weight. Profanity! I forgot, wait, how could I ever manage to fight to find the spark I lost? find ways to make money to buy clothes-- ? manage time? I can't fit them if I don't exercise, so year's resolution: lose weight. I'll find the spark lost along the way.
