Fatherhood Friday is both a day and a growing community of dads and moms sharing stories, ideas, photos and movies with one topic in mind - fatherhood. In a world that seems happy to deliver a message that dads are incapable buffoons, Dad Blogs is committed to changing that perception. The reality is, as we see it, parents today are more aware of parenting and the impact it has on their children and dads everywhere are becoming more active caregivers. If you don't believe me--check out the posts in our archives.

Ok, so some folks don't like themes--and that's fine. Some of you do. Themes work like this:
Tom is all like, "Dang, what should I write about for Fatherhood Friday--I am lost. Wait, I know, I'll see if there's a theme!" The sound of Tom thumping away on his keyboard can be heard followed by, "Jackpot!" Elated Tom jumps out of his dope leather computer chair and yells, "I know what I am going to write about! Thank you Dad Blogs!"
The sound of dog barking can be heard off in the distance. Joeprah correctly interprets this sign to mean another blogger has thanked him for posting a theme. Opening the door to his back porch Joeprah yells, "You're welcome!" His neighbors, tending their garden turn inquisitivelyto the man theycall 'Joe' only to see himhastely shutting his back door. One neighbor looks at the other all like WTF as he plucks a ripened tomato and places it into his burlap sack.
Another way themes can work is like this:
Hubertis totallypsychedto write about a ground breaking fatherhood moment for the FatherhoodFriday faithful to read. He notices that there's a theme and correctly interprets it to be only a suggestion. Hubert goes on to write an amazing post that garners much attention around net for it's complete bodacity.Hubertrealized that themes are fine and dandy if you are out of material or if you want to present a message as a group to the internet, but don't need to be followed blindly. Dad Blogs loves both Tom and Hubert. Well, maybe we just like them a lot, but you get the picture.

I still haven't written the post, so I don't know if I'll be "themeing" or not, or being Tom or Hubert. So, that's what Joeprah's neighbors think. LOL
