I said so many stupid things
I was only hoping to correct the many things
said, by my brain that splurts out fears and doubts
I was hoping to correct so much
questioning? I’m your dad. I am full of certainty
But I, was hoping to fill you with pride, strength, fearless
Just like me angry and I was hoping
till I saw your freckled cheeks and your wide eyes, staring back at me
wondering and knowing what the next stupid thing that came out of my mouth was as if
from God
and i’m no god
and i look at you with your cheeks that are my wife’s
your hands and
your legs you’re growing tall
i love you so much and i don’t know what to do

I agree, what’s with this guy, who is he?
Hey Cam, get your arse over to AGB. Would be good if Rammer could join as well.

Are you now fully speaking Big Lebowski?
Maybe vary it up a little and try Raising Arizona.

That’s really something, Pat. My older one is deploying in a few days (not to a war zone at this time; I left a comment at Mangans months ago re his reasons for joining, and killing Muslims or supporting the Empire were not part of it) and I keep thinking back to when he was small. Thank you for your apt words; they helped me.

Thanks Sheila.
It’s certainly hard to see them as men isn’t it, when all you see is your innocent, wide eyed and desperate to please young boy.
My thoughts and prayers go with your boy, you and your family.

The men of no appearance strike again (the horror!):

I’m so glad you taught me this game, it’s classic.

The SMH up to its old tricks again. Well spotted Simon.
The only line to not appear in the SMH’s copy and paste from NSW media report:
Police have only been told the offenders are described as being of Pacific Islander / Maori appearance.
The SMH usually includes Pacific Islander/Maori but is tireless in censoring Middle Eastern appearance. Maybe there is a new editorial policy in the new year.
Check out this recent story: http://www.smh.com.au/world/aliahnas-horrific-end-girl-9-bludgeoned-to-death-by-babysitter-20111228-1pc5t.html
The SMH may non-White reveal racial details before police arrest but never after arrest, or trial. Yet here we have in large scale pictures the imparting of the race of the various players in a horrific crime. All White of course.

Too true Pat.
This one’s my favourite though.

Good catch. Of course, black man killed by two Whites, happens all the time.
I’d like to see Media Watch do a study on how consistent the SMH is with showing Whites as criminals of the worst type and never showing race when crimes, the majority, are committed by non-Whites.
