Meaningless Ramblings
As promised to dickday in comment... "As a reward for these few minutes of distraction from the daily rut I promise that my next post will be nearly pointless. :)"
I like to play with photoshop sometimes...
John McCain, his stepping stone wife
and Chris Shays with their pet neocon and
foreign policy poodle Joe Lieberman
The little pieces of nothings that I have done pale in comparison to some of the greats out there. The amount of time that I have to put into doing just a crappy photoshop amazes me and has given me an even greater appreciation for what some these artists do. Some of the Bloggers that I read regularly (near daily, If I have the time) are darned good at snark, humor and playing with internet scissors.
Take DistributorCap's work for example:
Or one of the greats, Tengrain:
Anyways... Tengrain calls his Blogging friends, his regular readers, scissorheads and, yes, I am proudly a scissorhead. It is an apt moniker since most of us really enjoy seeing the great work being done out there.
I have 4 kids but I am going to intorduce you to my youngest daughter (Connecticut Kid3 - she is 5) in a video I took a few months ago... I figured that since dickday has sound, well, now he can enjoy video:
I think she may turn out to be just like Daddy...
And I hope that this was meaningless enough of a post to satisfy my debt to dickday...

Using internet scissors is something I will resort to ONLY if and when there is absolutely no real news to pass along. Because it is time consuming to do even a simple thing that only barely looks good. I am no artist, but I do really appreciate the people that do this for real.
But I am one happy Dad. Proud of them too!

Very wonderful blog. Touching. I love your daughter. Most kids have stories about scissors and hair. ;)

Not me... Never! I think? Maybe?

My daughter did a number on her hair, the mouse cord, and the cats whiskers. (Thankfully, not all at once)
=D
You're an excellent dad.

As long as they do not run around with them I won't get too mad. I learned long ago (after Connecticut Kid1) that we would never have anything in the house that we were worried about getting busted.

I think you lost some of your 'meaninless-ness' by including your charming daughter ctman. ;)

I was, more or less, trying to make it more politically meaningless. It is a very rare day that I share my own life in Blogging. Other than some glimpses into our losing our home in the first wave of foreclosures, only the Bloggers that I have met in real life at events (mostly local Connecticut Bloggers) know much about my personal life and what I am really like in person.

I have met him twice at Ned Lamont event. The first time neither of us knew who we were, and the next time we actually talked and had a bit of beer. He is a very big boy with a great sense of humor. Most of CT's left Blogosphere have either met in person or talk through emails pretty regularly.

Not a thing meaningless about Daddy loving his beautiful daughter and laughing with her. Yes, we've all had those hair-cutting stories (Why DO they like to do that??), but this is about as wonderful as I've seen.
Thanks. Thanks. Thank you.

Thank you for reading it. She still has pretty short hair and looks like a little pixie right now.
