It's about assassins, but J-Lo is in it too, so that seems about your speed right now. The beer might be a bit much, but I'm hoping it'll force a hair or two to sprout on your otherwise womanly profile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-71478151076505893712008-06-27T13:44:00.000-07:002008-06-27T13:44:00.000-07:00aea: You know how I know you're gay?

Simple as that. Why? Because she knows that you know you're gay. Next time you look in her eyes, I think you should ask yourself seriously whether she's not really thinking you're gay. That's what those big blue eyes say to me when we get together. They say: "please help, Uncle A, my dad's gay."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-70394154452741245172008-06-26T22:57:00.000-07:002008-06-26T22:57:00.000-07:00ms. single mama: thank younatalie: in many cases i...ms. single mama: thank you<BR/><BR/>natalie: in many cases it's because we're taller.<BR/><BR/>badass geek: I love the dad-daughter awesomeness of Knocked Up.

The friend remarks that he wishes he liked anything half as much as his kids liked bubbles. <BR/><BR/>That has always stuck with me... These small children so much enjoy something as fragile and simple as blowing bubbles, yet We as adults stuggle to find joy anywhere. <BR/><BR/>There is plenty to be learned from the attitudes of children.Badass Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030944236271663794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-89047338992221715052008-06-26T11:53:00.000-07:002008-06-26T11:53:00.000-07:00wow. that was amazing. i really love reading dad...wow. that was amazing. i really love reading daddy blogs. you see things that moms don't.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225456755011937217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-3552608457489619442008-06-26T11:28:00.000-07:002008-06-26T11:28:00.000-07:00Benjamin is obsessed with pushing strollers, carts...Benjamin is obsessed with pushing strollers, carts ... everything.
