About Me

I'm a 33-year-old father and husband born and bred in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.

This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.

Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

A Regular Weekend!

This post also appeared on www.capecodonline.com/blogs in the opinion section of the Cape Cod Times, a division of Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.

I have to work tomorrow night but I have Sunday and Monday off. Do you hear that? I have two days off in a row!!!!! I could not be more excited.

That having been said, I probably won’t be posting much because the wife and I actually have some plans this weekend. We’re going to be at our friend’s house in Yarmouth drinking a few beers and having ourselves a ball. Six or seven adults, at least two kids, good food and plenty of beer. I can’t wait. So I’m actually going to unplug for a couple of days and completely ignore this blog and the Internet in general. We’ll see how that plan actually goes…

Here are a few quick hits to tide you over:

– While I won’t vote for her, Sarah Palin is not just a MILF. She’s a GILF!! (Governor I’d Like to F–k!)

 

 

– I can’t announce any good news yet but hopefully soon. Just awaiting final approval.

– Cape Cod Gal is a frequent commenter and as it turns out, a wonderfully talented writer herself. Check out her blog here and you won’t be disappointed.

– I have an idea for a hit TV show that involves mothers and their babies. I’ll post more next week.

– And finally, have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend everybody. And if you’re in Yarmouth and you hear drunken screams, the cries of children and police sirens…someone bail me out immediately!

    Thanks for the shout out! Everyone should check out Bad Ass Geek too. (see the links) The man is damn funny and very twisted!

    I’ll be in Yarmouth too. We’ll see who can scream louder!!!

    You’re really drawing this surprise thing out to torture us aren’t you?

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    That picture kinda creeped me out. Also, “GILF” sounds like the sound one would make stifiling vomit after seeing something horribly disgusting.
