Because of my dad......

Post by USMILMAN »

Just a little shout out for my pops.

Because of my dad:

I will always be a fan of Larry Holmes.
will always respect Bart Starr and the Packers.
SOMEDAY NEVER COMES by Creedence Clearwater Revival will always be my favorite song.

Did that happen to you Tainos? My "real" father did that when I was 6 months old. My dad has been there since I was about a year old.

It made me stronger. I actually learned how not to do things because of him. He was a reverse roll model.

What's the story behind this Astor? Was he an environmentalist? A hitchhiker? Rides a motorcycle? You've peaked my curiousity. :D


To add my own:

I'll put my kids first, as he did.
I'll always have a strong appreciation for and interest in literature.
Sports will, in some capacity, always be a part of my life.

Because of my dad:

I will always be a republican (even though I consider myself to be very liberal.)

My career will always be in relation to the law.

Because of my Dad.....

I know exactly how I want to raise my children...which is the exact opposite of how he raised me.

Because of my Dad.....

I know that I want to be more concerned about my relationships and freindships than I ever am about money. He's about the money.

Because of my Dad.....

I am expressive of my thoughts, feelings and opinions and try to keep open dialouge w/ as much honesty as I can. He does none of those things.
Let me know

Agree. Some things you learn through heartache. Its sad how some fathers are, but even when they are dirtbags, they teach you something.
