The Parenthood Mental Model
by
Lars Hindsley
on Tue 29 Jan 2008 11:47 AM EST
My goals today are the same as they were four years ago... they are the same as they were eight years ago. Of course then, I had only one child...
My goal in life is to make certain when my sons grow up that I remain relevant and loved. To do this, I have been a big part of my children's daily life. My son often asks me questions, and I can never get tired of asking them. Tossing a ball back and forth to each other is something you can't leave to some other father either. These little things add up.
While I am especially proud that when my kids and I go skating or play sports with friends they see I'm good at sports too, I tell them always that I will be most proud when they can do everything I do better.
Secretly I hope

Get off the Planet! - A political rant
by
Lars Hindsley
on Mon 28 Jan 2008 11:12 AM EST
Before my brother died, he and I used to tease each other and do what brothers do. We needled each other over trivial things where we spoke about the things that bothered us about each other without getting offended. One day he said to me... "Get off the planet!" Where that came from I can't really say, but it was laugh out loud funny at the time. He was pissed over something. He was upset enough that he wanted me off the planet. That's funny to me. Talking frankly to each other is something we as American's have lost sight of. Our politically correct society is become a laugh to me. So this morning a friend e-mails me this lame ass e-mail... or at least that's what I figure it is. Then I read it. I have to read it, a friend sent it and you can't just discount something without giving it a chance. So I did. I gave it a chance and read it. What I found was that somewhere on this planet people can still talk straight. It is allegedly from John Howard the Prime Minister of Austrailia. If it is, I find it refreshing. If it is not, then somebody some where "gets it". If you agree, disagree, or can confirm this statement is real, feel free to post a reply.
How to find a good woman: Know when you have a good woman

This title is a little misleading. The reality is that you as a man do not need to find a good woman. A search really is not about how to find a good woman, it's about knowing when you have a good woman. Without women the world couldn't exist. And not merely because of babies. Man needs woman like the earth needs the sun. There is no one reason which answers the question. There are a multitude of reasons. We don't need to go through them all. Men know women make life worth living, worth fighting for, worth improving for and worth sacrificing for. Some men even sacrifice their own values for a woman. That is a mighty draw. We as men should give into such a strong desire for a woman worth that while. What kind of woman is that? Here is my take. She is a friend beyond all things. Someone you don't have to work at getting to know as she already knows you. While you don't have to be kindred spirits, you should know that together you feel really at peace. You don't have to impress as she is impressed with who you are already. To you high-school boys... you really should give that girl that dotes on you a chance. Stop dreaming of the prom queen and realize the one that wants you the most, will make your life most worthwhile. And when you get that down... you'll be a better man in your twenties. Once again you'll know what to look out for. So now you in a relationship... how do you know she is a good woman? She thinks of you enough to make the bed with you instead of making up rules about who should make the bed. If she is a great cook, ... more » Wednesday, January 23
Secrets

Do you have any secrets? We all have them. Imagine things about yourself that no one should know. Wow... that is a subject that should hit home with every one of you today. And it is true isn't it? Think of the one thing you wouldn't want anyone to know? It could be even more than one thing. Now imagine that gets out to someone you hate! Imagine they know those secrets. What would happen in your life if your worst secrets got out to the wrong people? Life is like that. It's always the last people in the world you'd want knowing your secrets that end up with them. Life is so ironic. There is an old saying... keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I've learned that first hand in my life I'll tell ya! LOL. I recall a couple years ago a guy I knew wanted me to go do something somewhere that if I were single, I suppose would draw a laugh from buddies over a poker game, but at the time I was separated and knew that should I do anything I wouldn't be proud of in the midst of anyone I knew... It could come back to haunt me. So as badly as I thought I deserved to cut loose, I kept my wits about me and made the rational decision to understand... "this friend could be my enemy tomorrow, and would I want him to know any dark secret of mine?" The answer was "No way!" I'm happy to say for all my desires and needs unfulfilled in my life... The secrets I'm not proud of... my adversaries in life already know. LOL While me on the other hand. I've carried some secrets for a long time and will continue to do so until ... more » Tuesday, January 22
Real Love is Set Free
by
Lars Hindsley
on Tue 22 Jan 2008 07:00 AM EST
What is love? This question can be asked so many ways about extraordinary lives. Today I want to focus on the freedom of love. I'll keep it short. For real love to exist, you must be able to allow the person you love to be free. The old saying, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you, they are yours forever, but if they don't they were never yours" is just part of my point. There is no control, or jealousy. Why? Because if you love someone you don't just set them free before they commit to you... you set them free during that commitment. When I was married, I never felt an ounce of concern for where my wife was, and hardly any concern for whom she was with. While love also means you have the self esteem to exist outside your wife or husband... the act of love has this important component. The ability to allow the person you love to be free without constraint. It's a paradox really. When you love someone you commit; yet you are free. Both of you are free. It's like an invisible link between you. If you really love someone and they love you, there just isn't any worry about losing them. While not every love last forever, there is no doubt when you are in love, you should feel this way. Be lucky in love my friends. more » Tuesday, January 8
I think men have a period ...only different

Yeah, I know that really freaked you out and it got your attention, so let me explain. Once a month a woman has a menstruation. While there are some amazing insights regarding a woman's body and her menstrual cycle, such as when she is born she has somewhere shy of half a million eggs stored in her ovaries... this little article is not about those fascinating facts. But there is one that I think has always made me think. That is when a woman has her menstruation once a month she becomes hormonal and while that is great for guys... again... this article is not about that either. I bet I really got your attention going at this point don't I? <smiling to myself with satisfaction> Well don't get too excited. I just have this theory... Once a month a woman has a period; menstruation. For you insightful men, during or around this time many women become harder workers and they don't seem to tire. It could happen just before, during or just after their menstruation. They just go and go and go. Not all women, but plenty I've come to know over the years. And don't go reading between the lines so hard here. I could be more wrong than right on this one.. it's JUST A THEORY Now if you are willing to accept what I'm surmising here or if you are just willing to suspend disbelief for the duration of this article we have established that once a month a woman has an energy spike. Now for my theory. If a woman has two or three days a month where something hormonal comes over her and we know why... she is menstruating... why then do I once a month get really active for a couple days. I mean, you could ask me to paint the house and I could. I clean the carpets... ... more » |
WHY MOSTLY PHOTOS OF LARS?
The answer is simple. It's to protect my friends privacy. I'm not a narcessist. LOL   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lars Hindsley is a self-employed single full time father, a writer, a non conservative Republican, a reformed idealist (a compromisationalist), ex-musician, God fearing cynic that could more easily be described in two words as a "Rugged Intellectual". Lars writings range from "how to" articles to commentaries and advice. You'll find movie reviews and video picks of the day side by side with serious writings. Lars offers perspective from an Anglo-Christian moral position while never lording over anyone unlike himself. Lars is of the opinion that if you are going to complain, you should offer a solution. His perspective on the world is that many of us fight societal evolution to frustrating ends without a genuine understanding of what it is we are all up against. Reading his articles should provide you with positive energy towards living out your day. You may not be able to change the world but you can navigate it to live a rich and rewarding life. Enjoy Lars’ works, there are years of writings to choose from. This Month
