Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how I act, who I am and how I’ll be as a father. Everyone knows I’m going to be an awesome father, and I think I will be too.. but I’ve become a little worried about the bad times of fatherhood, I’ve become worried that I might be a dad that’s not always there for thier kids. I would hate to disappoint them or make them feel like I don’t want to be involved, or don’t have any interest in what they do, becuse not only was my dad almost totally out of my life, my mom was never interested in anything I did. I hated it. I’m never going to let that happen, so when I see certain behaviours of mine, they get me worried.
Anyway, I’m rambling on about that because I came across a video my brother told me about by this UK band called Nizlopi, and it’s unofficially titled (as far as I know) The JCB Song. The video really stuck me and outlined my point, because it’s from the perspective of a small child, who’s having a good time with his dad as they’re coming home from his work in a big tractor. The son really enjoys his time with his dad, and his dad is someone who he can rely on, and is always there for him.
So yeah, there’s the video hopefully. XD

Such a brilliant song.
