Killing time in LaGuardia Airport. Apparently she'd rather eat the magazine than read it.

Do you know what I mean?
AMarbleinspace posted the following on my Youtube Video of my daughter Asha
Hi. do you think the name Asha is suitable for a white person. cuz i know this white baby whos parents called her Asha. and it doesnt work to me "and im not being racist" but do you know what i mean
As the father of a "biracial" daughter I certainly anticipated a certain amount of prejudice or teasing that my daughter would have to endure. Hell I still get jokes about my last name that people think are oh so original when then spout them.
"Oh that's a good one....no really you're the first one to come up with that." I got made fun of the first day of Kindergarden and while it has slowed down a bit, the jokes keep coming.
Needless to say I was only slightly put off at first and then I thought that this guy is a complete clown. Viewing the limited information on his profile confirmed this and I dismissed this guy as a misinformed and likely uneducated tool. Then I returned to my smiling daughter and forgot what I was upset about in the first place.
Making my daughter smile and laugh are the greatest joys I can experience at the moment.

Cast No Shadow
"Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand what's in his hands. Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say and as he faced the sun he cast no shadow."
Ah so I've entered the realm of blogging and thus committed myself to the pressure of trying to come up with witty and insightful comments about life, the universe, and everthing after (apologies to Douglas Adams). Blogging appears much like acting, writing, painting, or any other form of art - superficially easy on the surface but it actually takes quite a bit of talent to be properly done.
Girls keep diaries and sensitive guys keep journals I suppose. I kept one once in college, and I still have it in fact. It mostly contains ramblings and some badly written poems written during times of stress or love-ridden angst. After seeing or hearing about various people who ended up in trouble or rehab after their parents read their journals, I realized one should never write anything that you would not want broadcast to the rest of the world. Hopefully I will keep you entertained and keep myself out of trouble.
