anything at all.
So for some reason, I was always under the impression that when I became a father that most of my interests would just sort of fall by the wayside. I'm not sure why I thought that, because that has never been the case with my parents. It had been the case with some of my friends parents (well, I didn't know any of them when they were young, maybe they were just uninteresting).
Granted life has made a huge shift in a different direction. I'm home alot more, which for the most part is actually pretty nice. I still go out with friends and a few shows and such. There's not alot in terms of things like clubs around here, so I think that I probably would be doing that if I were single down here.
I'm still writing music and finding fun shit to do.
Honestly though, being a father is the hardest and yet best thing that i've ever done. In a bunch of ways, I felt like it's the thing that I was always meant to do. When I come home at the end of the day and I see Riley and Rachel, everything is just that much better. There's nothing that can really come close to it.
In terms of creating music, it's as though I've been given a new and better muse. This ends up applying to most aspects of life. Since Riley, I've looked at the world in a new way, that's better than it was before. That's not to say that I don't have times when I feel like ripping my hair out. Because there's tons of those and I really don't sleep as much as I'd like to. But the sacrifice is way worth it. I can sleep more two years from now.
