"Any fool can make a baby; it takes a MAN to raise a child."

My parents were 19 and 18 when they oops'd and got pregnant. My mom refused to abort, and told my dad to take some time to decide whether he wanted to stay with her and raise the baby, or leave her. He drove around for a few hours, then came back and said "I'm in." My dad was an 18-year-old boy. They had just graduated high school.

They got married a couple months later, and I was born (premature) a few months after that. They've been together 35 years, their children are 34, 30 and 28. That 18-year-old boy stepped up and became a Man.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

This commercial was pulled off the air because too many viewers complained about the "gay content". Obviously they missed the part where having this mayo would make Mom just as awesome a lunch-maker as the guy at the deli.



And now I totally want a ham sandwich.

Avatar: the Last Airbender

This is a truly amazing children's animated series that even adults can appreciate.

I really like how this show incorporates: martial arts disciplines (kata forms as a means to practice moving chi), warrior ideologies, learning to work with and manipulate ("bend") the four elements, mental discipline and psychic abilities, "drawing up" deity, reincarnation, and especially taking full inventory of your strengths and weaknesses in order to work to overcome your shortcomings to be a stronger, better, more compassionate person.

The majority of the themes in this show resonate with what we, in Scathach, are working on.
