I used to actually read the Good Men Project…until it got taken over by good women. No thanks, but I’m longer interested. MEN…We like to do man things. We like to talk man talk. We like to bond with other…

Hank Azaria, Kevin Bacon and Bryan Cranston on fatherhood
Celebrity dads including Kevin Bacon, Bryan Cranston and Mike Myers open up to Hank Azaria as he quizzes them about fatherhood in this candid documentary series.
It’s not often you’ll see Hollywood personalities speaking so openly and honestly about such an intimate subject, but Hank ‘s frank questioning encourages his friends to speak from the heart.
Hank is best known for his work on The Simpsons. He provides the voices for Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum and Comic Book Guy.
Although his work is loved by children the world over, Hank had never seen the appeal of having kids of his own. He’d reached an age when many of his friends had started families and so he set out to make a documentary about what makes someone want to be a father.
But in the process of filming Hank’s girlfriend discovers she is pregnant causing Hank to rethink the documentary and turn it into a very personal and touching record of his journey into fatherhood, as he seeks advice from his famous friends.

Daddy’s Girl
10:10AM Jan 21, 2003 – The doctor and his crew yelled out “OH MY GOD!!” We wondered what was wrong. Was she born with two heads? Does she have webbed feet? Is she dead?
Nope. Sahaar was 9 pounds 11 ounces. A BIG baby.
11 years later, I still say OMG.
Fatherhood has changed my life for the better and I am thankful for two beautiful children. The truth is, when a couple finally gives birth to a boy or a girl, they are not having a “baby.” They are creating a human being. Kids grow fast. They really do.
I sacrificed a lot to be with both of my kids during the day and not miss out on the most important parts of their young childhood. No regrets at all. I also don’t regret fighting a court system hell-bent on breaking my family into pieces during my divorce. I’m so glad I fought…and WON.
I think I only have a year or two left with my daughter before the hormone rush kicks in and she won’t want to have anything to do with me. It’s ok. I get it. I didn’t miss a thing over the past 11 years.
I can’t wait to see her again when she comes back around after her teenage years and wants to hang with her dad again in her 20’s – LOL. I have a feeling that there is a good enough foundation for here to make good decisions.

Do women really make men better or do men make WOMEN better?
Interesting: This idea that a womanly presence can soften the menfolk has a long history in literature and myth – remember Pocahontas interceding before her father for John Smith’s life? But it is strange – and not necessarily positive –…

Black Folk Don’t: Get Married
It seems like now a days it’s hard to find black folk who are ready and willing to say I do, at least that’s what all the media coverage about single black women says. Is this a generational issue or are black folk allergic too long term commitment? Or are they just committing in different ways outside the mainstream?
