September 28

I cry. Its funny to me, and hard at the same time. We laugh at ourselves, and that is OK. We laugh at me and that is OK, its funny what makes me cry. Sometimes I find myself just sitting there and I am overwhelmed by the world and I get a tear in my eye. I don't cry like I just lost somebody, its more mellow than that.
Sometimes I hear the right three chords to my favorite song and I cry, sometimes its just watching the biggest loser. I am a sensitive man and I find myself asking, does that take away from my masculinity? am I less of the caveman because I get all to wrapped up in the small and far between goodness in life that I glimpse? I spend my time too much being cynical, that I am under-developed and ill prepared for these moments.
All it takes is to hear my boys call me from 500 miles away. All it takes is to think of growing old with Melanie. Sometimes all it takes is for Bruce Willis to save us from another terrorist/asteroid/disaster. All it takes is to think of failure. All it takes is to think of success.
I cry and I am OK with that today.

  1. I cry almost every day. I think crying is good for us. It means you are expressing your feelings and letting them out so you can take another step forward. When you don't cry or express feelings they just come out anyway but in the wrong place, wrong time and in the wrong way. I say cry, I say cry like you have never cried before. It feels good when you're done.
    Love you,
