I created an account, but I’m still sifting through photos to post.  Here is my profile: http://500px.com/jabarihunt

My earliest memory of such was as a child flipping through my father’s record albums. I happened upon Led Zeppelin’s Houses Of The Holy. I later learned that it was a collage of photos featuring a boy and a girl climbing a rock structure called Giant’s Causeway. It was created by a company called Hipgnosis that specialized in making album art. For whatever odd reason that album cover stuck with me, and I’ve sought out images that stirred the same emotions ever since. The entire collage is below:

Today I came across another piece of art that does a fantastic job of dancing on that thin line without falling over. This video features Timothy Bloom & V all wrapped up in this song in more ways than one…

Everyone says he looks like me, but as I sit now and stare at him in his sleep I see my father. I wonder if he stared at me as a baby and saw other family member’s faces in mine. I wonder if he looked at me and saw all of the potential that I do in my son. Potential for prosperity, potential for love, potential for happiness. No limits. No bounds. I wonder if he thought about the potential for misery, pain, and ugliness that could result if he didn’t guide me in the right direction. What can I do to better myself as a father…did he ask himself that question as I do now?

I’ve never ask my father these question, nor do I feel the need to do so. To me, it really doesn’t matter if he did or not. What matters is that he DID guide me. He taught me right from wrong, left from right, addition from subtraction, and all of the things that I needed to know in order to survive in the world. He was walking the walk, regardless of whether he was thinking the thought. We didn’t see eye to eye all of the time but whatever disagreements we had throughout my life I can’t ever remember a single time doubting if he loved me or had my best interests at heart.

Because of this I really don’t know any other option but to prepare my son for the world in the best possible way that I can. He set the example that I want to be to my son. Maybe our paths to get there will differ, but the final destination is one in the same.

I so look forward to all that is ahead of me as a father. I’m just glad I had a good example to base my actions upon. Thanks Daddy!

BTW – the photo above is the proud grandfather himself holding my son!

Over the next week or so I’m going to do some serious updating here including reorganizing the categories and updating the layout/theme.  I found a great app that lets me update my WordPress blogs from my Palm Pre (Post’er), so I’ll definitely be posting more!  ;-)

Anyway, my blog looks pretty basic right now.  I’ll spend some time working on the layout in the very near future.  For now it’s good to have my blog back!
