yesterday evening i walked outside and hopped on the mower. was cruising along, looked around and realized that the gf was working in the flower bed, the dogs were in the yard playing, neighbors were in their yards and i was mowing...it was very surreal and fucked up...i made another pass or two around the yard wondering if this is the plan for me...is it time for me to settle down, get married, have kids and live that all american life.... stopped the mower in the middle of the yard and came inside and fixed a drink...it was a fucked up moment for me... shit like this ever happen to you guys?

earlier in the day i got a call from my best friend who said i needed to be over the house sometime next week. his father and some other family were coming in town. he knows that i absolutely hate surprises so he told me that he and his wife are planning on asking me to be the godfather of his 5 month old. im pretty sure this set the wheels in motion for the total weirdness i was feeling while mowing... any godparents around? i got an idea, but not real sure what all is expected out of being one...

Awesome toadally awesome. Felt like I was watching a movie.

Fight the powers that be, RayRay!!!

 
This is kind of a combo thread but both parts of the combo are so closely related, it is almost just a thread thread. It is an interesting bit of forum evolution.

I can see how that would all happen but I can't really relate. I have been happily unmarried for so long - and living in an apartment so I don't have to mow lawns/shovel snow/etc. - that I don't experience these domestic/American Dream epiphanies.

I'd have to think I am an extremely unlikely candidate to be a godfather. I've never had kids or shown much interest in them. No one has ever brought that up with me. Good. Not that I don't like kids and wish them all the best, but let them be with people who are more focused on them.

Domesticity and kids can provide some very profound things - I have sacrificed those for more freedom. For my personality, that feels right.

This combo thread has made me stop to evaluate my life a bit and I feel pretty good about it.
 
RayRay, in many cases, not all but many a Godparent is a glorified uncle and assumes the responcibility of raising the child in the event something happens to both parents. In situations such as that though there would be legal documents to sign otherwise the next of kin would assume that role. DON'T SIGN ANYTHING unless you are fully comfortable with that role in life. Otherwise just expect that you will be agreeing in kind to fill in babysitting and gift giving like a glorified uncle from now till your end days.


RayRay, that sureal moment you had was in fact your sub-conscious mind telling you this is the life you are on the brink of living. You are very near a decision making crossroads in your life of choosing the high rolling degenerate bachelor lifestyle that has suited you so well for so long or settling down and being fully domesticated. Today it's mowing the lawn while the Ninja plants her flowers, tomorrow it's running to ball practices, cub scouts, cheerleading competetions and dance recitals while Ninja redecorates the kitchen.
 
insightful wallyballs... im aware of all the stuff that i will be responsible for by becoming a legal godparent... i realize if something happens to them, the little man is basically mine to care for...i dunno bout signing stuff, we will discuss all that... ive already planned on being a big part of his life anyway, so i dunno how big of a deal this will be...

wally, im not sure that im on the brink of settling down...i think i just had an epiphany and didnt care much for it... i have given it a little thought, but it doesnt appeal to me... dunno if its still the wrong girl or if im like muddy and dont want to give up my freedom... i can live a happy life doing what im doing... someone please come and smack the shit out of me if i mention settling down in the near future... it was still a very weird feeling...
 
Bread this is the natural progression of things. Most aspire to have this life. Maybe deep within RayRay's mind he is preparing himself to evolve. I mean not everyone is cut out to play golf anytime they want, vacation at adult only resorts, party till they decide it's time to go home or until they pass out and get carried home, gamble without concerns of braces and school supplies, sometimes even if it's late in life people decide to settle down.
