testing....is this thing on?

So I was hanging out with my buddies Rusty and Chris a couple weeks ago at a warehouse in Riverside watching some bands play. We were talking about the fact that I was the first one in our crew of friends that was about to be a father for the first time. I think it was Rusty that suggested that I should start a blog so I could write about being a dad and that he would be into reading it. I don't know if he really would want to read this but the more I thought about it, it seemed like a cool idea.

Let me clarify something before we move on. I don't really expect my friends or family to follow this blog regularly. Not that you all don't care about what I think or have to say, but you have lives people! I'm sure checking twilightbieberhair is not high on the priority list for the day. But I was thinking about how it would be pretty neat for my son to someday be able to read a bunch of stuff that I wrote when I was younger, still had some hair, and was generally still a pretty cool guy. That last part about being cool is up for debate but you get the idea. I would love for 20 years from now to have my son be able to read some stuff I wrote about/for him.

So we have about one month until this little guy is born, and boy am I scared. I should say I'm scared in a good way. I am really excited too, don't get me wrong. I actually think I am more excited to be a father than I ever thought I would be. I think it just feels scary because it is a whole new chapter in life that there is really nothing to reference to except your own experience as a child. I can't wait to meet him though. My favorite thing to do is sit on the couch with my hand on Summer's stomach and feel him move around in there. He is a pretty active baby which I believe is a great sign. When we went to the doctor two weeks ago, they said he was already 5 pounds 6 ounces which impressed our doctor since we are vegetarian. I guess vegetarian babies tend to be smaller???

Ok, I've got to get ready for work so that is it for my first entry in this little blogosphere world. Sorry if it was disappointing. Oh yeah you might be wondering, "Umm Josh, what's up with the weird name for the blog?". I had some pretty creative and clever names picked out to title this thing, but unfortunately some other people had the same ideas. So I sat staring at the screen for about an hour until I realized that I wasting so much time on a title. I've always been bad at titles. When I used to write songs I could never title them. Most of the bands I played in had terrible names,(except for the Lemonades, that was a winner!) so this did not suprise me that I was struggling with a title. It got to the point where I was going to give up on doing this blog because I couldn't come up with a title or I was just going to name it something weird and focus my energy on writing the most amazing and profound blog entries anyone had ever read on the interweb. Here it is people, get excited.
