Hello again.

I haven't written in awhile, but then again, I haven't had much to say, so you should be thanking me. Oddly enough, I still don't have much to say, but I thought I should probably just put something here so that if you do enjoy coming here on a regular basis, you would have something new to look at.

So here is it...something new.

I can't believe it is already this close to Christmas already. I haven't done any shopping for anyone, and I feel like I should probably do that soon. I don't have many ideas for people, but then again, I usually think of stuff when I am out shopping. I think that I am getting to the point in my life where I like to know what I am going to go and get before I shop at a mall around this time of the year. I just...am a bit afraid of people in malls, I think. I also think that I think most of those people are idiots, but that has more to do with this job and how it is poisoning my mind and, apparently, soul.

Yesterday I got to enjoy some time with my friends Mike and Jenny and their son, Dylan, who is also my friend. Dylan smiles when he sees me and recognizes that he and I can have of good times together. As someone who is just barely two (I think?) he doesn't have many words to say, but he has a lot to say. He is fun and he likes to cuddle with me and also he likes to laugh at me, both of which I like too. Yesterday, he and I spent some time inside this awesome tent with a tunnel that ran out the door and into the living room. We would whisper inside the tent and the BURST through the door and scare is parents. This was entertainment for everyone. Both Jenny and Mike agreed that Dylan likes me a lot. Of course he does, when I come over we just play. I don't make him eat crappy food, I don't have to tell him "no", I let him play with my cellphone (so do they, so I am not teaching him bad things). Basically every time I come over, every time he interacts with me...it is positive. I think I am destined to be this type of guy for a lot of kids. My other friends, Than and Sarah, have experienced this with their kids, and there are a couple of other children that have benefited from the Todd brand of spoiling. I like spoiling kids with attention rather than candy. I can see that, as a parent, you can't possibly give kids all the attention they want, but all of my friends who are parents give their kids all the attention they need and then some, so they are all sitting pretty good.

but that doesn't mean the kids don't frick'n love it when Uncle Todd walks through the door.

Uncle Todd's the best. Just ask Adeline and Liam. Charlotte will get it sooner or later.
