    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'm okay with Nemo, actually. But, the first time I watched the Punisher...when he actually watched his wife and child run down... No lie, I paused the movie and went upstairs to check on my kids.

    Too late. And, yeah... That one hits hard!

    This is an interesting subject, something I consider quite often, actually. Once you become a parent, you notice that things start to affect you differently than they did before. You can't help but, lose some of your feeling of...invulnerability (for lack of a better word). When you start adding your kids into equations, things get scary in ways they never were before.

    Before I became a parent, and friends with children would say, "it changes when you have kids", I didn't really believe they had a point as I'd rate myself as a fairy compassionate persion...

    But they were right...

    I'm sorry, but what was the cry moment in Nemo? The ol' eyes remained dry, and I can be a sappy bitch when the mood strikes.

    Don't read "The Frolic" by Thomas Ligotti either.

    Yeah. watching the evening news REALLY scares the crap out of me now that I'm a father. I mean, stuff used to bother me before I became a dad but now that vague anxiety has a keener edge to it.

    As a father, the only thing that ever made me cry was when I found a soggy, half-eaten Cheesy Wotsit in my Xbox disc tray.

    I don't think there is a father alive that hasn't fished at least 5 things out of the toilet and said...actually stood over the bowl with his arm sopping wet and took the time to utter...

    "Now, how the f*ck did that get in there?"
