Well, life is funny sometimes.. Liz and I have always sort of prided ourselves as being Punk Rock Rebels forever, but somehow at every turn we fail miserably, and end up being a normal loving nuclear family....
We fell in love, we lived together, we had a huge traditional wedding without tattoo in sight, and we've recently decided we want to have kids.....
SURPISE! Literally the first attempt under the assumption that we MIGHT get pregnant, and BAM!
So in plain English,,, Liz and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child. We just found out a couple days ago, so we have no details yet.. Just looking at a calendar is should be around Septemberish.....
Things that won't happen:
We aren't going to be assholes and name our kids something obnoxious to justify our own punkness.
I have been annoying Liz with shittly suggestions though..

I'm not going to be a foul mouthed drunk around my kid. If you've ever seen me around kids, you'd be shocked to notice that they love me, and I'm great with them. Too many shitheads walk this planet because the people who spawned them didn't raise them to be decent people.
Liz and I have all the ingredients required to raise smart, independent thinking, hilarious, awsome human beings, and from this day forward, that's my primary goal in life.
Liz has quit smoking, and everything else, and we're both going on serious diets and taking better care of ourselves.
I'm not quitting drinking, but it's being cut down to absolute minimum, and never in front of my kid. I haven't smoked for 6 years, and hate drugs, so that's a non issue. Due to some fun times when I was little, I think drunk adults around kids is disgusting.
I'm thinking about converting to Catholicism. Mostly because Liz was raised in the faith, and I'd like my kid to have at least some grounding in Faith. It's not so much because I love Catholics, or am especially Religious, but I'd like to have a spiritule grounding for him/her to be able to look at as a guide when we aren't around to help. If Liz and I are both on the same page, then it will be easier to explain right and wrong without havening you parents saying 2 different things.
Sorry for the text diarreah, I'm just somewhat overwhelmed right now. Anyone reading this with kids, I'm sure understands.
Shit, I guess I'm going to have to mix The Wiggles in with the Agnostic Front from now on.
