Concerning Dads

I caught the latest Steers advert on the telly tonight (hope you guys watched 'As Good As It Gets' - Jack Nicholson is the man, and i cant see anyone replacing him - i mean, who do we have in the latest stock of actors - Michael Douglas - one of the Baldwins. yeah sure) Anyway - Back to Steers - it was for their 'Rib Special', and it got me thinking - you cant have ribs on a first date - they're too messy - it'll create a bad impression. I think that they'll be good for a third date though (well - the last time i got to a third date with someone was back in October 2001, so what do I know:P) The same goes for other messy food, basically anything that makes you look like a retarded toddler trying to shove an entire pineapple down their throat.

My Dad is 64 today. I love my dad, with his quirky ways, and twisted sense of humour. i remember asking him once about the day I was born - he looked me in the eye, with this serious face ( the kind of face that parents put on when they are examining the phone bill with a highlighter) and said, " Son, The day you were born, i was really hungry, so I'm not even sure I picked up the right baby, so you gonna have to take my word for it OK" before returning to the paper with a smirk on his face.
My dad can switch on the television, flip through channels, start watching a movie from half way - have no idea whats happening, but will refuse to change the channel. Then fall asleep five minutes later. He is the type of dad who won't buy you a chocolate when you're at the mall with him, but will make sure that there will always be a stocked up pantry at home.

I'm going to watch simpsons tonight - if any guys are keen, let me know ( no girls- well except sibling - she's cool)

Happiness is knowing what you want, and being content with not having it.

transformers was more realistic than seeing humans kill each other but i wonder can the average adhd kid follow 2 hours of galacticity....also in my day the heroines were tomboys in pigtails or girls next door not gorgeous ho's...my nephews' viewing will be censored!!

I am a clumsy person, so I usually drop something on myself, even things that are not usually messy. So my girl will have to accept me as I am.

Your definition of happiness seems right, because it would explain why it is so difficult to attain.
