A Dad I Became

.

When my first son was born I was so scared and nervous. I watched the birth and cut the cord and was just so terrified that the nurse had to tell me it was OK, I could go ahead and touch him. I thought I would break him or hurt him just by holding him. I thought I would be the worst Dad in the world.

.

Overall I did ok. At times I was a great Dad, other times I made mistakes. I wasn't as scared when my second son was born. Held him quickly, changed his first diaper. In the end becoming a father completed me, made me whole. It has given me two great successes in life that stand out no matter how badly anything else I have done turns out.

.

The cycle moves onward later this year as my first son will be having his first son. I hope he finds the joy that I found in fatherhood. I can't wait to wish him a Happy Father's Day!

.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there today!

Something about having my son and losing my dad all within 10 months or so really fast-tracked me to a weird space mentally/emotionally when it comes to the existential thoughts on time, childhood, and being a father. I feel like I’m so much more connected with my dad and the way he saw the world while also experiencing things I know he experienced in some weird way. There’s a cyclical nature of time and our lives that I feel like I’ve really been able to tap into. Maybe it’s a grief response. I don’t hate it though. It’s reinvigorated a sense of wonder about the world that I thought left the Earth when he passed.

Tldr: shit’s weird, maybe there’s still magic in life.

This is what my last two week's felt like..

I had no idea my mania could get so bad.. Sometimes we love something so much that we forget how too.. Love the things in your life enough to know when to let it go, guys. I feel like that's the answer to our "personality disorder."

But who knows... Maybe I'm crazy 🤷‍♂️

Today is March 26th 2024 and the time is 1514.

I just got back from hiking not too long ago and it feels good to be sitting down because that hike was a good clip with good vert tossed in to make it an actual hike. But before I get into that I’m going to recap what went down yesterday.

So on Monday I cruise down into Bishop to the local hostel to buy a $5 shower because I had a job interview at 1400 and by then it had been 12 days without a shower and I was feeling pretty crusty.

I arrived at 0950 because the shower opens at 1000. I rang the doorbell and in less than a minute Matt opened the door to let me in. Matt works at the hostel and was the first person I met when I moved here because I was looking for work, but they are fully staffed at the moment. If you were to meet Matt you would say to yourself he’s a really nice person.

When I was taking my shower all I thought about was how good it felt, and afterwards my beard and body actually smelled good — it was a little weird, but also nice. I didn’t see Matt on the way out, so I messaged him a quick thank you on Instagram and would link up later to smoke some herb.

I had some laundry to do so I literally drive a block over and there I am at my favorite laundromat. I never realized I had a favorite laundromat until now, but I guess I do. When I was walking towards the door one of the ladies who was walking out held the door open for me, so I said good morning and thank you — she smiled and said good morning back. It must be the freshly washed beard. I joke but it’s nice living in a town where the people are just friendly and not scared of each other like in urban hells.

After my laundry was done I cruised by Vons to buy a tomato, asparagus with parmesan salad — and a coke zero — because by then my body was screaming at me to eat some veggies.

Then after that I went to the post office to mail some letters I wrote to my kids. When I was writing them I got very emotional because it’s painful not being able to be a normal dad to them, and right now they are too young to understand. I can see the confusion and hurt in their eyes when we facetime.

I was with them every single day since the day they were born until the divorce. After the divorce everything changed. I helped them move from Oregon to Southern California, and I chose to live outside of society norms.

Not being with them and not being the dad I should be for them is all on me and I own that. I also own the pain. I’m not a fucking victim and my kids don’t owe me anything. Nobody owes me anything.

Ok well moving on… after mailing their letters I cruised on over to east side sports for some tenacious tape because one of my gaiters has a rip in it. They didn’t have the brand name shit, but whatever it seems to be working fine.

By then it was time for my job interview at 1400. I think overall the interview went great, she even said she thinks it’s a good fit, and I think so too. The job is only available until around July-ish, but by then I should have a job lined up at VVR or Kennedy Meadows. And I was able to negotiate time off to see my son’s baseball games and also time off to hike the TRT and HST. So all good!

After that I picked up some weed then cruised over to the hostel and that’s where I met Riverwulf for the first time. He’s radical guy who has hiked the PCT a couple times and a bunch of other things. I’m not exactly sure, but I think he also helps at the hostel, or just a really good friend of Matt and doesn’t mind helping which is cool too.

So we are sitting outside in the courtyard trading trail stories — which is one of my favorite things to do — and there was a PCT’er from this year chilling at the other table. His name is Dario — he doesn’t have a trail name, and he said he doesn’t want one.

He bailed at Olancha Pass because the snow was bonkers. I’m not exactly sure how long he intends to chill, but he said he may flip up then finish this section later, or if someone is crazy enough to go in with him then he will. If I was hiking it this year I would definitely go in with him.

We traded some good conversations and I was reminded that most — not all — people are hiking because of some inner personal shit. It was very noticeable that he was triggered by certain subjects which is fair because I get triggered by certain things too. At the end of it I gave him my number just in case he needs a hitch later.

By then it seemed like Matt and Riverwulf were getting busy with guests and I still needed to run by the grocery store so I said later and left.

After I resupplied I headed back up to the mountains and by some crazy ass luck the campsite I had before was available! Bonkers considering how perfect it is. By then it was dinner time so I steamed some rice, then pan fried it with a little soy sauce and a couple eggs mixed in — it fuckin’ SLAPPED!

This morning I started hiking at 0802. I started down the dirt road then bailed off into the bushes heading towards the east aspect of Tom. There’s an old mining road that hugs the east side, but can only be accessed by bushwhacking. I tried taking the road there last week and it was completely flooded. It really pissed me off if I’m being honest with myself — so fuck that I’ll bushwack.

I crossed two creeks as usual then once I found the road I started making my way up. It was nice hike with pretty gradual vert which was nice because I was able to open my gait and fucking hike! On my way up I passed a very beautiful area to my left and I said to myself I’m definitely sticking my dick up in there when I come back down.

So I keep hiking up this old mining road and I come across the abandoned mine and all of its relics, including a Budweiser can that looked like it was from the 1950’s — but who knows how old all that shit is. I keep motoring on up until the road came to an abrupt end. I took some pictures and videos then started making my way back down.

But once I came back by that pretty area I said fuck yeah time to go STRAIGHT UP! And I did. In only half a mile I hiked 980 vertical feet, but holy fuck it was worth it. It’s always worth it. Once I got up into what I can only describe as a bowl…wow it was stunning with all the white granite and the trees that say “I’m a Sierra Tree” just because that’s how trees in the Sierra look.

I found a nice flat-ish area to lay my pad down to chill and dry my feet. I was there for about 20 minutes or so before the wind started picking up and I made my way down to the road.

Once I reach the dirt road I emptied the dirt from my shoes, threw some music in my ears and kept hiking. Once I reached a bend that winds back around north east it was time for me to bail back into the bushes.

Once I reached the creek crossing I took my mid off because the plants and trees are THICK AS FUCK and all of them have thorns. And my custom ultralight alpha mid doesn’t like things that snag, plus I paid a hundo for it and need to make it last.

After crossing the creek and getting fucked up by the thorns and trees twice I made my way up into a clearing so I can put my mid back on. Then I was home free and I can see my truck way out in the distance, and I noticed I have a neighbor. But by time I got there they had already left.

Overall the hike was good, it was only 9 miles with 2,000ft of vert, but 980ft of that was in a half mile, so it was solid.

I think that’s it for now. I’m going to cook my dinner, watch the sunset and appreciate these beautiful mountains that have always been here for me and will be here long after I’m gone.

Top 16 TV Sitcom Dads From the 1990s (As Voted By You!)

Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, I watched a lot of sitcoms. The TGIF lineup on ABC was a mainstay. As I watched those 1990s TV shows, I naturally identified more with the children. I’d see little pieces of me when Stephanie Tanner got bullied at school or Robbie Sinclair questioned the meaning of life. Now, I’ve been a dad for almost a decade. And the role of father plays such a central part of…

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

#i personally like to not be doing things constantly at all times. it stresses me out #i know there are ppl who thrive on cosntant activity #but me i like to chill out. #and the problem then becomes that i only ACTIVELY remember to do work and Find More Work To Do when im stressed #at the thought that others might want to see me working #if im ever relaxed i just dont look for stuff to do #catch 22 of modern work culture which permeates even ostensibly noncapitalist structures like public libraries #for instance: will it really kill anybody if the books get shelved by me now after a very busy day? #or shelved tomorrow morning by. well probably me since i'll be the one at the desk #not in the slightest #but it was work that wasnt being immediately done by me. therefore it was incorrect behavior #that i failed to identify because my instinct is to relax when not immediately presented with a Situation #this got me labeled as 'having no initiative' by my dad from a very early age #and even as an adult i still feel like im a child with no initiative
