Dad and Buried, aka Mike Julianelle, is a thirty-something Brooklynite North Carolinian – a new, slowly adjusting transplant – learning to deal with his new life as a father and bitching about the ways the existence of his son – not to mention the myriad responsibilities surrounding that existence – is destroying his social life.
This blog will serve as a continual diary of his experiences, first as a new father and – soon! – as an expert parent with the world’s first and only PERFECT CHILD. Expect some pictures, maybe even a video or two. And lots of swearing. Tons.
But rest assured, he loves his wife, he loves his son, and no matter how much he may bitch about the new addition, he still…um, he still…
Shit.
He forgot what he was going to say.

PICTURES??
Freak.
This could be very interesting to follow.
Christ, I didn’t check the date on that. June?! Forgetaboutit.
You had me at “destroying my social life.” Wait until you have a second one.
Best advise I got AFTER my kids were to old for me to use it:
When your child is up crying at night and you normally would take him out for a drive; instead, put your child in the car seat and put him on top of the dryer. Turn it on and the warmth, noise, and gentle movement put them to sleep in no time.
(If that doesn’t work, I guess, try putting him IN the dryer : )
I wanted to nominate you for the Versatile Blogger award. Details here,

“Fatherhood is a crucifixion. You die by degrees, with your arms outstretched.”
— Stephen Wright, “M31: A Family Romance”
Thank you for that quote. I love it!
Yeah, I somehow sensed that you might.
The novel as a whole is just as awesome. Criminally underappreciated.

Uh oh, that’s the first sign of a hard core parent….memory loss! You’re doomed!!!
Whats a social life??? I can’t remember. It’s only down hill from here.
awesome.
Welcome to friggin parenthood and the beginning of the decline of our lives and the ascendence of the lives of our kids….AKA the greatest things we’ll ever produce, oh and maybe (if we’re lucky) the few blog posts they inspire. 😉 Enjoy all the bittersweet. It’s worth it. Especially the cussing. Oh yes…..there will be cussing.
you either live my life or me yours… either way… its a tough one!

You sound like a very bitter person who needs help and obviously should have never had children..
And you sound like a person with no sense of humor and hopefully didn’t have kids for countless reasons based on one sentence.
Mike, your 10 reasons why you ‘hate’ your son brought me here. Priceless.
Love this. Wish it weren’t so so true. Interested in submitting a short “moment” or essay to us over at Great Moments in Parenting, where we celebrate “the agony and the ecstasy of life with kids.” (http://GreatMomentsinParenting.com/)
