Congratulations Kamal...<P>That child will change you in ways you cant imagine, at the very least you will be more thoughtful and serious about a lot of shit you once took for granted. I find that my daughter Gabrielle Ayorinde pushes the space the future once occupied in my (procrastinating) consciousness so that it begins to overlap with the present..<P>In other words, when I look at her, i see my future- I hear the hopes of all of my ancestors when I look at her, and I think about how much she needs me to make things right for her to grow up happy, healthy and sane- and I think, Damn, the whole future of my family is in my arms when Im holding her and raising her..<P>No matter how shallow and foul one might be (ahem, Ive read some of your posts, Kamal ha ha ha <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"> ), having kids usually touches people in a very deep way- though with some people with emotional issues, it stirs up a hornets nest in that it forces them to come to terms with their issues and not everyone handles that well <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/sad.gif"> <P>How you tap into that newly exposed depth is on you to reflect on from time to time.. but good luck, son, creating music comes from the same source that creating anything- even kids- comes from, so honor your star like you honor your music and you'll be OK
