Driver's Licence And Privacy Act

Can you believe this?!? Check your driver's license information on-line. Now you can see anyone's drivers license on the internet, including your own! It asks for U.S. info, but unfortunately it works for Canadian licenses as well. I just searched for mine and there it was picture and all. This is really scary. This is just too much! Can you say "privacy?" Where is our right to it? I definitely removed mine. I suggest you all do the same. Go to the website and check it out. It's unbelievable!! Just enter your name and city, and if you are Canadian, leave it as 'Select a State' and see if yours is on file.

Welcome Jacob Xavier!!!

Ok, so I haven't posted to this blog for a while. I should really make use of this blog space more often because it is a good place to just air out my thoughts and feelings.

Anyway, on to the big news... I'm a dad!!! My wife gave birth to our new son, Jacob Xavier, on Feb 28th, 2008. I couldn't be happier. Every time I think of that day, I start to tear up. I have a son! I kept repeating to myself, "I'd like you to met my son." "This is my son." "Have you met my son?" It's crazy! I'm a fucking father. God, I hope I don't screw this up. I hope I have the same relationship with my son as my dad had with me. I guess I probably will, since parenting skills are passed down through the generations... but you never can tell how a kid is going to be. It's the old debate of nurture vs. nature. Sure I can try to raise my kid right, but what if there are things in his nature that are destructive? Well, I should stress too much until the time comes, right. I'm just so thrilled to have a kid. The things I'm going to show him, the experiences we're going to have... I can't wait to see him grow up to be the man he's going to be. But I shouldn't hope for that to happen to quickly, cause it will.

Welcome Jacob... I hope one day you'll be able to read all these random thoughts I've had and learn a bit about your father in the process. I'm fucked-up, I know... but you'll learn that in time anyway. ;)
