Well I was reminded today that I never update this blog but maybe because i'm back and because I've been reminded it of it I may write more often. No promises though.
So the biggest news lately is that my best friend is now a mommy. I've spent a little time both today and yesterday seeing how she is doing and how her baby is doing. Now I know you may be thinking, Kevin, you hate children. Now thats not completely untrue. Yes, yes I have a past of not loving children. . . i don't even like the musical Annie that much. But Lex's baby is different. She's not just any disgusting needy child. She's a beautiful baby girl who is the daughter of one of the best friends I have. If my life is like that of Snow White's than this girl is like the Princess from the near by Kingdom I mean she's a big deal right!!! Now the awkwardness comes in when we're in the hospital room and I am asked by people if I would like a turn holding the baby. My response is always "oh I'm fine, thank you" and the resounding thought is always "because he hates kids". The ultimate reason that I don't jump at the chance to hold children is because of the following story:
July, 2000 Santa Barbara - My first neice had just been born and my father and I were sititng in my sister's house seeing the baby. Everyone seems to be fit on me holding her dispite the fact that I really don't want her. So i hold her and she starts crying and crying and crying and crying! So I'm like looking for someone to take the child out of my arms when my dad AWKWARDlY suggests "Kevin sing to her"..
WHAT!
So there I am holding this SCREAMING kid awkwardly singing "I Feel Pretty' It was just a terrible experience and it really tainted my future with babby holding.
I mean I'm sure one day I'll be up to holding a baby again but for now I mean its just an awkward topic for me.
A completely non-awkward topic for me is the Sex and the City movie which I saw today. This reaffirmed one thing for me. I'm going to have to do all I can to find success in life. Even more so now after seeing a movie of rich people living wealthy lives in New York. I would like to hope that my degree would help but...alas. I'm in the wrong college for that. HA
