the pimp chronicles

Of all the accomplishments I have achieved in my life to date, you are staring at the one I am most proud of. It trumps anything including my bachelor’s degree, my job, anything I materially own, any person’s life I have changed, any photo I have taken or even getting on flickr front page!

 

My accomplishment (in the making) of raising this tiny person by myself and watching her one day (hopefully) turn out to be just as kickass of a woman as she is my child cannot be described in words. That is my proudest moment as a human being.

 

Mostly because I’ve done it almost exclusively on my own. I really don’t talk about that too much because who wants a fucking sob story? Here at casa la pimp we don’t produce sob stories!

 

But alas I’ll mention it here just this once. Daddy has been doing the single daddy dance alone with the babe since I left her mother when Chloe was 2. Mommy hasn’t been around in years. My entire family that I knew growing up live on the other side of my country. Due to circumstance, it’s essentially just the babe and I out here. Yes, I love Gia too, but am not responsible for raising her like I am with Chloe.

 

Our little Daddy/Daughter tandem kind of rules. Even seeing her here in this picture taken about 1 ½ years ago I can see the growth.

 

And can I just say it? I am so glad I have daughters! Not only does it work out perfect for any potential girlfriends with the whole girl connection. But simply stated: I am a man that was put on this Earth be a father to girls, not boys. Boys are rough and they smell like poop.

 

I’d rather have my babes.

 

So, do you have anything in your life you can point at and go: that’s my

proudest accomplishment?
