It’s been a while.

Suddenly I have found myself with a fair bit of time on my hands after we had our first child. He was born 4 weeks ago and while you have an infant in the house there are many hours of just hanging around in the case that they need a feed, change or a quick session of CMT (for some reason he likes the sound of well plucked banjo – yes, he is definitely a real Queenslander).

So there’ll be most likely quite a few more posts here and possibly a new design and new direction. For those that don’t know I have my own small business – CITYGREEN – and I treat this blog as a testing ground for new site design.

There most definitely will be a few very nasty rants about politics coming soon. Especially about Kevin “Krudd” Rudd, Australia’s answer to Mao Zedong and his opposite Tony “Mad Monk” Abbott, Australia’s answer to Jimmy Bakker.

Enjoy blogs like this while they are still free to read on the web. Very soon the almighty overseers of our lives in Canberra will ban anything that challenges conventional thought. Pricks.

Whammo

Phew.

I’ve become a father. I used to think I was tough bugger until I helped my wife go through 17 hours of labour before she had an emergency c-section with 15 minutes notice – and yes, I couldn’t help but peek over the curtain to see my lovely wife’s insides.

She is the tough bugger, not I.

Joe didn’t have an ideal start to life. He didn’t breathe on his own for 3 minutes or so but was fed loads of oxygen and has been in an ever decreasing level of care (from acute down to barely any cables and sensors hanging from him as of tonight).

He seems to like boobies, which is good. He takes after me in that sense. I prefer my milk from a cow via a plastic bottle though.

There’s an incredible feeling of respect for human life after being given the responsibility of looking after your own child. There’s also an incredible respect held for the 20 or so medical staff who directly helped my wife so professionally in one of the best operated hospitals here in Brisbane.

More later.
