Already in Motion

As with most of parenting, this blog emulates real life.

Most attributes, behaviors, ideas, and emotions that we nurture, hinder, or ignore are already in motion behind the scenes. I've certainly been thinking this blog a long time, and snippets of its voice has found their way onto other pieces of writing. I've decided quarantine is necessary and public display of the findings so others can learn where I failed and hopefully sometimes, succeeded.

To begin with,

I am an indie rock bassist, solo artist, a writer of fiction, a passable visual artist, a graduate from NYU, this artsy school with a reputation of sorts, and a New Yorker by choice (though I'm exiled and nearly penniless at the moment... That's the Post part of there.... I wish these blogs had footnotes because I want to tell you about how I haven't really shelved hipsterdom or nay, being a cool guy with a kid, but I've retooled it to fit a more mature, grownup version of that cool Village persona that we all miss so much.

And most importantly, you won't end up on the Upper West Side sporting a pink Polo shirt pushing a $2,000 dollar stroller in it with a baby somewhere inside its extrapolations, looking for the organic soy-based formula that is associated with your favorite non-profit organization.

That's not me.

I'm thinking Williamsburg before the high rises set in.

I'm thinking be a rockstar, but be a good dad.
