Welp, got the news that I am going to be the father to a baby girl come July.

As soon as we got the news, we were out and about shopping anyways and I nabbed some Wild onesies for a girl. 6 out of 7 days a week she can be rocking Wild spirit, lol.

Congrats!

Wow, congrats!

Not to sour the mood, but damn, 2016 is off to a rough start

What the hell, man.. Reality is sinking in that many of our rock and roll heroes will be parting ways with us over the next decade. So many legendary 60s and 70s artists that are getting up there..

 

[gphr513]

Damn. I love The Eagles.

Grats, man! Kids are a crazy, crazy trip.

I had this realization a couple days ago, too. Thinking about how many of my childhood heroes (actors, musicians, whatever) are now well into their 60s and up is super depressing.

Just means we have to enjoy what we're left with when they're gone. Many of them have massive bodies of work that will hold up forever.

Congratulations man! That's awesome!

At this point, if I were a legendary musician in his late 60's, I'd be pretty ****ing terrified to even step outside my house.

Congats Ninja!!



Start that college fund now!

Eh, maybe it's just because I just finished reading Killing Yourself to Live (Chuck Klosterman's book that's about rock stars' deaths, at least on the surface) a couple days ago, but I'm not super fazed by the whole thing. Obviously it's sad to lose some of these guys, but truth be told I don't think more rockers are dying now than in the past. That's just what rock stars do! Look at the 27 club for goodness' sake.

Sure, but now the rockstars or actors that die are "our" rockstars or actors.

It's now getting to the point where when someone famous dies, they are closer to "our" generation. Obviously we're not all a part of the same generation, but it's safe to say most of us grew up listening to Bowie, or Motorhead, or the Eagles, or watched films with Alan Rickman in them.

It's hard to conceptualize the death of a famous person who we didn't grow up with. Did it phase me in the least when Andy Rooney died? No, because he was well before my time. Was I phased when Lemmy died? Hell yes I was, I grew up listening to Motorhead.

It's just an issue of perspective.

And then once you have a sizeable fund saved up, take it to Canterbury and put it all on a 10/1 horse that looks good. When the horse wins, keep 80% for a nice little payday for yourself, and then you have enough left over to double her college find!

got one credit covered for the U! lol

 

[SupremeNachos]

By the time she turns 18 it will be enough for 1 class not 1 credit

Well classes are made up of multiple credits so either you're suggesting college is gonna get cheaper or you've got it backwards.

 

[00xtremeninja]

bingo, a 3 credit class at the U is prolly close to 1,800

I think he meant one hour of a class. As in one session.

Holy ****. How do you guys do it!?

edit. And congrats, man!

I was referring to it being only enough for a 1hr class just once though. No coming back until you have enough moneyies.

Finally got around to watching the pilot of Justified. Timothy olyphant is great.

With massive amounts of debt. And probably while working in our graves, lol.

Great show. The second season is particularly good. Walton Goggins is also great in the show.
