The Right Me
It doesn't really sit very well with me the whole idea of having "followers" in Twitter, it sounds cultish, it sounds egocentric, it sounds center-of-the-universe-ish, whatever...you get the point. But if you are going to follow me, make sure you follow the right me.
Today I realized a friend of mine was following someone with my name thinking it was me, it was funny. It made me think though...back in my country both my first name and last name are not very popular, I actually used to get teased a lot growing up in school. Once in the US and with the birth of Google, whose mission is to control the world, I soon realized how common my last name was and even realized there were one or two other dudes with the same first name and last name as me. That doesn't include the illegal immigrant who stole my ID but that's another post.
So, if you are into Twitter and are going to follow me I'm not the one who describes himself as: "Just a crazy boy who should've been born a vampire."

First Time Parents
The other day someone told us: “Do you think you have enough photos of Jannike? :-) Just like new parents... just remember you have to do the same for all the rest to”
Being parents for the first time is funny business. You do things you probably won’t do again with the next kid, and the more kids you have the less they get from you…so younger siblings are definitely not raised the same way as the firstborn. This has its advantages and disadvantages, how do I know that? I’ve experienced it myself and I’ve seen it in other families too. Of course, this is a generalization but it is pretty common.
I don’t know if I will have more kids or not, but if I do, I do know that future kids will not be raised the same way as our firstborn. You see, as first time parents we do so many things first time parents do, even though we try not to it is almost impossible not to. Tonight we are taking our 7 months old daughter to swimming lessons, yes I know…that’s a very first time parent thing to do. Can a 7 months old really learn how to swim? I don’t think so. However we want Jannike not to be afraid of the water when we go to the beaches in Venezuela, so this is more about exposure and less about hoping she’d learn how to swim. But again, I’m pretty sure we’ll do many more things like this…music, gymnastics, ballet, languages, art, singing, etc…

The Miracle of Parenthood Everyone Keeps Talking About [Stuff Christians Like]
Once again Jon over at Stuff Christians Like brought the word and said it way better that I could ever had. This is a must read, not only this post in specific but his blog as a whole. Enjoy.
"...My guess is she thought having kids would make me more wise, more mature, more patient… more something. She had an expectation about what parenthood would change about life. A lot of Christians do too. And it’s not insignificant:
We think the birth of our children will reveal to us the very face of God.
While you might not use those exact words, at some point, someone in your Christian circle of friends has said one of the following things to you:
“I really didn’t know God until I had kids.”
“When I became a father, I finally understood how hard it was for God to send Christ to the cross.”..."
