I don't know if it is the becoming a father thing or the I'm just getting older thing but I'm really getting sensitive to crap that goes on in the world...

1- Whenever a story comes up on the Internet about babies dying or mothers getting hurt... I watch them closer than any tech story I can find...
2- For some reason, the Discovery Health channel and all their baby shows are a lot more appealing now...
3- Watching people not take care of their baby or do things in public that I could never dream of doing, really REALLY bug me now...
4- Drug use. 'Nuff said. I don't want to talk about it, but if you know me in person, I'll tell you...
5- Extended family can be a blessing and a cruse now more than ever...
6- I guess the old saying that I will never really appreciate what my parents did for me until I had my own kids really is true.

And more stuff... I is really wierd, but reassuring, how much views change when your own baby is involved. And ask Totem, it happened for me overnight. She was worried about going home because I never wanted to hold my nephew for fear of braking him... Now I carry my son around on one arm while doing other things with my other arm. Jay says I look like a football player running down the field clutching a football. =)
