Pride In The Name Of Love

Boy-Child#1's guitar skillz are most excellent. His instructor is so impressed that he's given Boy-Child#1 his first solo to learn. How did you know it is Stairway to Heaven? Wow. You blow me away! Digress with me. Right this way...watch that step. Boy-Child#1 is one of my favorite people. I know, I know. He's my son and one's children are their favorite people. He just consistently amazes me. He's creative on an artistic level beyond his years that even I can't grasp. [Like in the movie Defending Your Life and Albert Brooks character says "Where were you? I'm just curious." and Rip Torn says "I'd tell you, but you wouldn't understand." then Albert Brooks says "Don't treat me like a moron. Try me." so Rip Torn says "I was trapped near the inner circle of thought." to which Brooks replies "I don't understand."...it's like that] He's wise like someone who's been around the block a few times and yet incredibly innocent all at once. He has hopes for the future and real ideas to better that future; where I've become so jaded and cynical. I recall learning in my psychology 101 class that adolescents have difficulty grasping the abstract. He is the exception to that rule. He's made abstract his bitch. He's socially aware. He's politically correct - and frankly, I don't feel it is because he's been taught that - I think he was born that way. He roots for the underdog. He's environmentally conscious. He's incredibly caring, sweet, kind, and nice. He has an old soul. He's a born liberal. He voted for Obama. Well, in his class mock election he did. He asked countless questions about every political ad that ran during the primaries. He watches the news, y'all. He loathes war and senseless violence. [Except when it's against his own brother. All is fair in sibling rivalry] His love of animals runs deep. His sense of fairness is firmly in place. He doesn't see good and evil; he considers both sides of the coin. And I predict that he will grow up to be....Bono.
