5 Months with special guest appearance! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2j_tN43Kc8#ws)

Good-looking kid. Like father, like son. ;D

I like the first page in your toolkit...it's similar to something my therapist has me do. It works, when I actually do it.

So I have to remember to do it.

P.S. Did your voice go down again?

Looking great man! I left you a comment. I look forward to seeing your future vids :)

@ Arch, heh thanks!  Yeah it's hard to remember those tricks in the moment.  That's why feeling that booklet in my back pocket helps me.  Oh and yes I am pretty sure my voice did drop.  I was surprised when I watched the video for the first time.

@ Alex I appreciate that and thanks for the comment!     

As usual I can't figure out how to embed the video here?  I thought it would show up after a time but hasn't yet?

You are looking and sounding so good man! I just can't believe it. I'm so jealous of you guys that are on T! Your boy is such a little cutie too. :) Hope you keep having some great changes!

You look great. And your voice has changed loads! :]

I think you pass even better on film than in pictures.  Your voice and body language seem male.

Hey Paul,

Looking and sound good there, big guy.  Cute boy, just like his Dad.  :D

Love the tool kit.  As long as it helps, it can't be a bad thing.

Thank you everyone for your nice comments.   :D

looking good man! congrats on 5 months!

Awesome video! (I am now a subscriber and shall be stalking you! BWAHAHAHAH! *cough* I mean, watching your vids. :P )

You're looking great and your kid is adorable.

And do you mind talking more about the tool kits?  They sound really good and worthwhile to make.

Great vid, man.  Congrats on the changes.

The toolkit sounds like a great idea.  I think I'm going to make one.

I have a little list of "survival tips" that I wrote down a little while back. I meant to type them up in a nice font and post them in my house somewhere where I would see them regularly.

As usual, I have avoided performing this potentially helpful activity.

I'm revisiting the idea again.

Lookin good man, and congrats on 5 months!

Congrats Paul!
Looking good and sound great! Your voice changed a lot.
Kevin is adorable!

Thanks so much to all of you!  Kevin is a great kid that drives me nuts on a regular basis.  Ha

@Lukas Thanks for your comment on my video page!   :D  Tool kits are basically like affirmations that are portable enough to carry around in your pockets.  From what I have seen they all look different.  Some people have them on index cards, some have multi coloured cards, or just a single card or anything else.  On them you can put quotes or sayings or thoughts or pictures or whatever else that resonants with you.  Things you can pull out anywhere whenever you need that mental boost or encouragement. 

Kids are meant to drive you nuts. :P

That's really cool!  I think I might need to make one--it'd be helpful.  And you're welcome on the comment!

Wow, you're looking great!  You're quite handsome too, if you don't mind me saying so. :D  Glad things are going better for you!

@ Lukas Yes they sure are!  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I also wanted to say that one thing really helped me with creating my tool kit was going to a craft store and buying some stickers.  There is a store by me called Archiver's that has thousands of stickers with helpful sayings and words that you can base your cards on. 

@ Farm Boy Hey thanks!  I appreciate it.  And naturally I don't mind you saying that.   Being the vain bastard that I am. lol ;)       

lol you sound like a grating teenage guy at the moment it's certainly unsual to hear that sort of noise coming out of what I perceve as an adult man great progress tho you've really changed alot.

Ahh how I envy the FTM's for there voice changes.

lol, grating.  Oh really?  I do seem like a teenager to most people and in some ways that's a good thing as it lets me get away with all sorts of immature behaviour.  Like what I'm about to do right now.

This sort of comment hurts my feelings so please be supportive or stay the heck out. 

Hey, just wanted to jump in and remind everyone that some guys have higher pitched voices than girls and I've heard girls with deeper voices than the most masculine men I've ever met. Standards are only because it's what we hear everyday but that doesn't make those standards right, ya know? My uncle Kev, he was the most masculine guy I've ever been around. He even made answering the phone "hay girl hay" seem masculine but his voice was kind of high pitched which is why I'm comfortable with my voice for now and sometimes pass as around my age even with less deep voice.

I wasn't intending to sound insulting or demeaning  :-\ I am deeply envious of the large amount of progress you've made towards your goals in such a short amount of time.

Great vid, it was cool to finally see you on camera; your voice sounds great. Looks pretty hectic over there. I'll be subscribing too. Cheers!

@ pebbles - Thank you.  My voice is getting better but grating is a not how I want it to sound.  However it's still changing so there is still hope for it to improve.  One of my hang ups is seeming to be much younger than I actually am. 

@ Michael - Thanks Michael.  I know everyone has a different pitch to their voice.  I don't want an exceptionally deep one but a bit more consistent would be good. 

@ Hurtfulsplash - Thanks man and I appreciate the youtube add!  Yes very fast paced around here but I love it.

Wow! You pass really well! Interesting video, and your son is very handsome, by the way. :)
