You know what\u2019s weird? I\u2019ve been crying a lot lately. Or, actually, almost crying.<\/p>\n
Now, I have cried before. I do cry. I am human. But I\u2019m not someone who I\u2019d say cries a lot. But every once in a while, whether it\u2019s because of current circumstances or hormones or the phase of the moon, I seem to get weepy at the slightest thing.<\/p>\n
I got kind of weepy at Avatar, when the main character gives the inspirational speech. I got kind of weepy at Valkyria Chronicles, when a character I had grown quite attached to died suddenly with no warning (and through no fault of my own). I got quite weepy throughout the second half of Big Fish when we watched it tonight, even though it\u2019s a movie that I\u2019ve seen at least a half dozen times before.<\/p>\n
I think what I\u2019ve started to do is to blame all of my emotions on the fact that our family is growing via stork delivery soon. Maybe the thought of having a baby makes me suddenly that much more sentimental about\u2026everything. Maybe being a father makes blue alien underdog vengeance, Europan war death, and fictional father-son relationships based on tall tales all very serious business in my mind.<\/p>\n
Either way, if you\u2019ve ever wanted the chance to talk to me about feelings<\/em>, now might or might not be the perfect time to do it, depending on how you react to men that burst into tears at the drop of a hat.<\/p>\n Although, sidenote, speaking of hats, I do need to acquire myself a top hat. For, you know, occasions that call for one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know what\u2019s weird? I\u2019ve been crying a lot lately. Or, actually, almost crying.
