Party of Five

Party of Five

Have you ever ended a date at the hospital?

I did.

On Valentine’s Day of all days.

Believe it or not it had the perfect ending.

As the date ended at 4:36am on Wednesday, Patrick Jack’s life began.

It’s one thing to drive a minivan, but actually needing all of the seats is surreal.

We’re five days in and we’ve already had our share of adventures… including two instances of public urination. But that’s a story for another day (and please don’t call the cops).

We’ve also begun the process of building a boxing ring in our basement. No doubt that’s going to come in handy down the road.

We can’t wait for all the good times to come.

I mean, we are a PARTY of five, right?

The Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Men

The Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Men

Valentine’s Day is BY FAR the the worst “holiday” ever. I’m not anti-romance by any means, but the anxiety that Cupid can bring to a guy on the 14th of February can only be rivaled by trying to open that plastic clamshell packaging that all electronics come in nowadays.

We get frazzled way too easily.

Believe it or not I wasn’t really a Cassanova in high school (seriously, wipe the shocked look off of your face). I remember that the student council was doing some kind of fundraiser and they were letting students send Valentine’s to each other.You could send a rose for 3 bucks and a cookie for 2 bucks. How they felt good about that kind of price gouging in an institution of public learning I’ll never know, but I remember stressing about those Valentine’s so much.

Valentine’s Day is rough on us guys

I’ve resisted Pinterest for a long time. I promise I’ve been following the hype but for me it’s been just that. Hype. For me it was a giant honey-do list.

The following is a simulation not a representation of actual events (yeah, right):

“OMG this is the cutest thing ever and I want to SQUEE but I don’t have time to make it so can you make it for me honey? I’ll love you forever and ever!”

Cynics Do Not Contribute, Skeptics Do Not Create, Doubters Do Not Achieve

There really isn’t a good way to follow up a post like last Monday’s. It struck a chord with so many awesome people with stories just like ours, and the comments continue to roll in. I’ve been completely blown away by the response from everyone, and today I’m ridiculously grateful to have a place to share my thoughts. I’m also very happy to have things like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc where people can talk about our awesome experience with Pixar. So despite my best efforts, today’s post isn’t going to be as good as Monday’s. That’s just how it goes sometimes. I mean, I’m sure whoever made Weekend at Bernies 2 had every intention of it not sucking, but it pretty much sucked.

The goal for today’s post is to suck less than Weekend at Bernie’s 2 and not be as good as the Pixar post, so here we go:
