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. |

Which, of course, fails miserably and just [...] [...] If you haven’t seen it yet, you have to check out this PSA regarding teen pregnancy, courtesy of — wait for it — Bristol Palin. Yup, that’s right. The daughter of former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who got pregnant at 17, is speaking out for abstinence to prevent teen pregnancy. But it’s not who [...] [...] Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so plugged into the news. Because if I wasn’t a journalist addicted to the Internet, I might never have seen this piece of shit article. If you don’t feel like clicking over, here’s the synopsis: Kids have busy lives. They have school, sports and extracurricular activities up the wazoo. They’re [...] [...] |
