Well shit.

It's in the title, so I guess I need to write something. Anything. It's a blog after all. I like to write. Some have even said I'm good at it. Hell, I've even been paid for it once, but that was a fluke and probably an error in judgement on somebodies part. But as much as I like to write, I don't. I think it's a chronic writers block coupled with a deep rooted laziness that keeps me from biting down and charging through the wall and onto the page. In short, it's a lack of inspiration. I used to write a blog and it was good. But then the boy got a bit older, the baby came along, and I ran out of time to do the stuff that inspired my writing. So now what?

Mad Wife (ex, now) has been bugging me for months to get back into it. Write about the kids, she'd say. You don't know what you're talking about, I'd reply. There's a lot of parenting blogs out there and I find most of them annoying. Why would I spend my time reading about somebody's kid when there's just so much fucking Netflix to watch? So I pushed it off. I mulled over topics for a new blog and came up empty handed every time. So I eventually became to realize one of the things I hate most about Mad Wife... she's usually right.

It's called The Mad Dad Blog and I think to many, it implies that it's a blog about kids and parenting. That's not really accurate. Its about me. It just so happens that, in this stage of my life, my world is wrapped around the tiny pee covered hands of my children. So I hope you enjoy following my Facebook, reading my blog, and sharing an online drink or six with me while I ramble on about the things that are important in my life. I just hope I can put a fresh enough spin on all this garbage to keep you engaged and reading. And if you don't like it, then go back to Pasta Limbs or Shit Moms Say or whatever parenting blog you came from. But... in the off chance that you like what I have to say, then welcome to The Mad Dad Blog.

I think we're going to have some fun.
