My fondest memories of being a kid are 90s themed and devoid
of all responsibility, set to a time when Blockbuster and board games were
laying the groundwork for anything but “Netflix and chill”, and a boloney sandwich
and Caprisun didn’t come with a disclaimer from the surgeon general.
Figuratively, a time winding down at a fraction of the speed it is now; and literally,
a time when I didn’t have to specify whether I meant things literally or
figuratively. Sure, time is relative and things never seem as languid as when
seen through the eyes of an impatient adolescent, but even Einstein couldn’t
have predicted the pace that our technology driven era would propel us to. Time
is just flying by so damn fast and I hate that I can’t stop it. It’s foolish, I
know, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t try to challenge the inevitable, just ask
my wife. So, in efforts to slow down time, I’m starting this blog. For me at least,
the more significant I make something, the longer it lasts, so what better way
to draw out time than to archive my life and display it for the whole world to
see.
And before you start to wonder why anyone would dare to
entertain the delusion of distorting time, other than the obvious nefarious
reasons of course, just take a look at this family picture of mine and admire my four beautiful reasons. And despite my dashing good looks, I'm not inluding myself as one of the four...we're expecting baby Dex in May. I hope you stick around for more!
FYI: The pic was taken earlier this year on my 29th birthday and since then the beard has grown burlier, Cristina's baby bump more pronounced, and the kids more adorable. I'm really bad about taking pictures so I've recruited the help of my wife, so lookout for posts and pics from her as well.
