be a great father
Untitled 8 months ago

I feel like I am a great father, but at times it is easy to lose focus on my daughter because I have so much else going on. She’s definetly not getting any short end of any stick, but how do I keep her hungry for a better life? She’s living large, the American Dream, but I want her to know how to take care of herself. Certain things lately have made me aware that she is maybe smarter than I was at her age, but she can’t even boil water or even really follow a simple direction if it is out of her experience. Hell, I know the answer, but how to implement?



Learn to play the guitar
bought a guitar 2 years ago

Had a 12 string, but it was just too damn hard to get my fingers on it to make a decent sound. bought a 6 string, but am having trouble tuning it—broke a string even. I have an electronic tuner, but it still sounds off when I strum it, so, still trying to get started I guess.



do a backflip
Hand standing and am comfortable trying to hand spring forward 2 years ago

I can hand stand and push myself up from a tripod stance, but I think I will need spotters to get the feel of the back flip-too scary to try solo. I have no problem trying to go forward though, and I can almost make it around, but am having trouble getting my feet down quick enough. Wife says that you have to do a back BEFORE a front is possible-scary thought to me.
