My dad is so fucking awesome! He is the most intelligent, compassionate, funny, insightful person I know. He also happens to be a great cook. I love my dad because he reads adbusters, wears socks pulled up high with shorts, votes for the green party, and actively contributes to amnesty international.

My boyfriend of over 2 years is not very much like my dad at all. He is smart and caring and funny, but in entirely different ways. And they look like polar opposites.
