Missed opportunity?

By Iain 16 October 2015ReflectionsNo Comments

It's how I kinda feel about not writing little updates every so often when Jake does something amazingly cute or has a major breakthrough (like standing up unaided for 12 seconds - so awesome). It would've been nice to have chronicled his growth, but would I have spent too much time writing about what he has done while missing the…

Two and a half months later…

Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could've knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I've been in some pretty dark places between then and now, and I never feel like writing when I'm having…

An update on my 2014 targets

Jake was born in 2014 and that was amazing, but so many other things just didn't work out as I would've hoped this year, mainly because I never tried hard enough. I met some targets and I missed others but overall I think I need to just get away from this for a bit - it's getting a bit much…

Places in my dreams

By Iain 25 November 2014Dream recordsNo Comments

I had a very weird incident recently, whereupon I instantly recalled a series of locations that I had visited in my dreams. It was quite disconcerting to say the least, one minute I was in the moment with Jake, having a little play, the next I was drifting around a water fountain in Japan in a yellow Ferrari with Keith…

Fri… Nah, forget it.

Sorry it's been a while, I've just not had the time to come in here and sit down and formulate a post. I don't even think I'll finish this today to be honest. Just for reference, I started this at half three in the afternoon on the 17th of November, and now I have to dash. Ok, so here I…

It’s not Friday and this is not on time

By Iain 28 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Until I pull my finger out, there's only so much variation you're going to get in these updates to be honest. Jake gets bigger and more attentive. I do more than my fair share at work. "No YouTube stuff this week, sorry!". Hmmmm. I did actually do a video this week. Or was it the week before? And it wasn't…

Fatherhood is very distracting

By Iain 7 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Yeah, so, I missed the Friday update last week. Not that it really matters - not much happened - we went shopping and bought some baby bits and pieces, and basically spent time looking after Jake. YouTube has dried up, RGF has dried up, there are two more VGMRotW scheduled and a few on the waiting list after that (thanks…

I get it now

I understand why parents post so much about their kids - because to them, their kids are awesome. I ignored their posts mainly because they were not my kids, and I had no vested interest in them. It would appear that now I have a child of my own, one that I have a vested interest in, I want to…

Jake Michael John Stewart

Well that was a day and a half. Accidentally woke Jane up at 5:20 when I got up because I had a sore back, she then realised she was having contractions, so we went to hospital, and she gave birth to a little boy who weighed 7lb 10 at 11:25. We called him Jake. Here is a picture of our…
