Things My Dad Taught Me #4
Friday, June 19, 2009 at 10:27PM So, this one is more of a concept then a thing. Here it is:
Guys do things. Some are stupid. Some a great. As a guy, you (being me) should do them too.
What are these things? You know. All the stereotypical nonsense that dudes do. And some of it is great. And some of it is stupid. And here's the catch, you shouldn't apologize for how great the stupid stuff is. We watch, and care about, sports. We cheer for our favorite teams and are crushed when they don't do well. That's a guy thing to do, so do it.
And I should say, this isn't about, "Oh, it's a guy thing, you wouldn't understand." Not at all. It's about allowing yourself to do things guys do and really enjoy it. It's to not feel bad about thinking a fart is funny, or getting excited about a new gadget or tucking into a really juicy (medium rare please) steak. It's about being a man.
He showed me the things that make being a guy fun and I have taken full advantage of those things.

I'm now 19 and experiencing being a dad. I must say although it feels good it's still hard. I knew it wouldn't be easy but to be honest, the hard part is having to balance time. My daughter is great and makes managing her never dreadful. -Teen dad
