One of the issues that

worry me in life is parenthood. Now, it is somehow known that I am easily influenced. I like to think of it like I am wise in my ways, and can easily change opinions with the proper input. That proper input can sometimes be something I read somewhere, the strong opinion of a friend, or me watching a cool movie. Heh.

It is not really that I am weak in my resolutions. It is that I am weak in the fact that I can easily empathize with other's people's emotions. And their excitement towards one topic can easily draw me to feel exited and all about it my self. Well, almost everything. I have heard friends being super exited about being gay and all those gay things. And so far I have managed to filter all that enthusiasm out of my system. Good.

Anyway. Parenthood. I know I want to be a grand parent. Of that I am sure. I want to be a cool granpa telling stories and playing hide and seek with all those little fellows running around. I have issues with being a dad though. And I am quite aware of the hole in my logic right there. It's just that being a parent seems like a lot of work and responsibility.

But the whole being influentiable idea had a point after all. Because now it is Mr. Neil Gaiman's turn. And how every time he talks about his kids, specially Maddy, I smile and think that, being a dad, sounds actually like something fun to do.

...

I spaced out there...

Hmmm... Maybe it has something to do with money. I fear not being able to properly support my child. I guess I want to make sure that I can provide, and make sure money isn't a big deal. I know a lot of couples live too stressed out about it.

Whatever... Why am I talking about all this?. Well, because Neil barely mentions his kids in his latest post, and he brought the idea in my mind.

He he he.

Cheers!. ^_^

Children are quite a subject; you could write about them for years but believe ME you can't know the way you would react towards being a parent, I?d always wanted to be mom, ever since my sexuality awoke, but it isn?t? that easy it isn?t either that hard, you need money everything implies money in life H. but if You wait UNTIL you get enough money you will have to sit down for quite a long time!

They absorb a lot of your time, and they depend on you but mostly of your attention dippers are not free but the smile they give you when you change them it?s priceless, milk isn?t free but them falling sleep in your arms is the greatest feeling of all times! Even better than Wend falling in your arms, imagine someone you love more than wend and more than yourself laying there innocent and helpless without you.

It?s great responsibility but the hardest thing is what we talked about a couple of weeks ago, is not the money is the ?guidance matter? but don?t keep your mind bussy so much in the baby jet, better keep it busy in getting to know you better, getting all the good stuff you are keeping, sharing it with the ones you love, being parent sensitizes you.

So live today and stop worrying for tomorrow don?t think that much, enjoy your time, your present ?or worry but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum? hmmm I?ve heard that somewhere LoL =) Ale

Money is something quite important in life indeed, but it's not the most important thing... there's also love and caring for them.. right?

CompaƱero....

Nomas pa decirte ke tas bien wey, ke me da gusto ke te preocupes de esas cosas, pero ke en el momento en el ke te lleguen los chamacos vas a volverte mas loco de lo ke estas, vas a ser la onda de papa... y ojala pueda estar ahi para verlo.. he he he..

va a ser muy cura verte regaƱar a tus hijos, o peor a tus hijas, para ke a los tres minutos que te esten viendo con cara de ?yo no jui? los agarres y los lleves a comprar cualquier cantidad de dulces y jugar al parque... claro, con el respectivo infarto de la madre de los infantes.

He he he.. un abrazo.
