I am far from the first person ever to go through the stresses of having a baby and dealing with all the obstacles being a new parent throws at you, countless number of people go through it every year.

As a new father I have learned that doing some grocery shopping with a child can be a very big chore.  The younger the child, the harder it gets as there is more you have to carry and haul around.

It's official. I hate people and everyone should have to pass some sort of test in order to be able to become a parent. I mean, I was already kind of leaning towards this a long time ago, but now it's been solidified. An unknown woman has named her newborn "Hashtag Jameson". I'm not kidding.

So earlier this morning my daughter was being fussy after getting shots for her sixth month check up. So during one of her fits of crying, Mike and Mike on ESPN did a parody for Gangnam Style. As you can tell in the video, she thoroughly enjoyed it!

You know who likes the sound of crying babies? No one. Not one person on this planet enjoys the shrill sound that is emitted from infants' tiny little lungs when they're hungry, or need to be changed, or something else is wrong with them that they can't tell us because, you know, they're babies.

So why on earth would someone make a baby cry on purpose? And then make a video about it? And then post that video on YouTube? Not only is it a video of a sound that every one in the world hates, it's a video of you looking like a total jerk for making the baby cry in the first place! Check out this jerk after the jump!

Wildlife always fascinates me and I'm a softie for baby anything ... like this arctic seal!

Even more fascinating is getting up close and being able to hear the sounds these amazing creatures make.

While I have never had to name anything other than a dog and two fish (Wookie, Waldorf and Statler, respectively), I have a lot of friends who are getting to the point where they have to name children.

It's becoming harder and harder these days to come up with a name that's unique, but not too unique. A name that no one else in your family or circle of friends have already used. A name that works well with your last name (note: please don't make your kid's first and last name rhyme).
