Movies change when you're a parent

For the first time in quite a while I watched "The Breakfast Club

I think that, knowing that, you will do fine.

When I overhear
my parents conversations
well I'm struck by the things they say
it seems they traded the years
for mere complications
who ever thought it could end this way
they close the door
but they can't lock it
'cause something of their childhood remains
and they've felt it before
when the man in their pocket
counted the cost of their material gains

Children say - come what may
be strong for the friends you've known
but one fine day - (not) far away
will we remember the love we used to own
Children say - children say
we open our minds as one
as one more day slips away
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

I love you.

Just remember that the ideals of parenthood that you've brought into this process are probably going to be challenged by unexpected realities, and you may not always live up to those ideals. That won't make you a worse father, that will make you a human father.

And if your son has any insight at all as he grows, he'll understand, if not immediately, then as an adult.

You're doing fine. The baby is too cute!!!

BTW, I think most Thelemites are too weird to turn into their parents. Weird is good.

try watching "Home Alone" again. It feels totally different when you see if from the parents' perspective.
