Alert The Audience!

So I stumbled upon a movie coming out in November that I REALLY hope comes to the South Eastern WI area. The Other F-Word is a documentary (directed by Morgan Spurlock who did Supersize Me) about punk rock/rock musicians (and Tony Hawk for some reason) dealing/handling with fatherhood along with playing music. Sounds pretty similar to myself, except these guys are much older and have been playing and touring for many years. I find myself relating to them because even though I haven't played on countless albums and toured the world, I know balancing is pretty tough, but the rewards of fatherhood is beyond amazing. Flea (from the Chili Peppers) tears up in the trailer about how his kids gave him life. Bingo. Sometimes the simple life is preferred for these fine musicians and your family will always be there for you.

Even though I miss playing music so so much, I still can't believe I'm a father. Mia's even giving hugs now. Seriously!! Ask my Mom or Jill. Hugs them too. Today she was looking out the window, turns around and gives me a hug, then turns around to check outside again. She knows what makes her happy and it's having two loving parents in her life. I hope she can see me perform some day. It'd be so fun to ask her "so how did Daddy perform?" Even when I'd play in some packed places (rare) I'd be way more interested in what Jill thought. She's more blunt and honest. Thankfully, she rarely could tell if I missed something for some reason. :P

Working more and more on my Milhouse drawing. Hopefully finish it in the next few days or at least before Monday.
