Somewhere in the beginning

This post (and blog) has been started because of knowledge acquired along the way. You see, if you know me, you will know several things: 1) I don't have much spare time 2) If I had spare time I wouldn't be writing in (on) a blog and 3) I'm flippin' scared about being a Dad.

There are many things in life that we "know" are good for us - whether to eat, to do, to believe, or to whatever. I know alot of things, alot of good things, but I very often fail to act on those things despite knowing about them. This blog is a good example of the exact opposite of what I just described. I have been thinking about blogging for a couple of weeks now, dropping "I should start a blog" to Shanie throughout this time. I wanted to start the blog for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I "know" that typing my thoughts down on a screen is probably a good thing if I can trust a good number of well respected people that do so and attest to this. The other reason is that despite being scared about being a Dad, I know that deep down I have something to offer to my future son or daughter. The reason I know this is that many people have said this to me (which for the most part I have had a hard time believing). Now, just because somebody tells you something doesn't mean that you should jump all over it and saddle up your horse. But, I also think that a good chunk of people, all saying the same thing are probably not just saying those things. By now, it's probably starting to sound like this is going to be a blog just for the building up of Warren's ego. If you believe this than you would be partially correct. You see, I think that we have a much harder time believing good things for ourselves than for others. I finally figured this out and today I am going to choose to believe that I am going to be a good Father rather than just dismissing it and subsequently discounting the notion. Let's pick up on this thought in the next post. To be continued...
