Sitting here at work during my lunch break I felt this overwhelming desire to write something profound (the bull shit bug bit me). So what profundity do I have to share with any and all? PROFUNDITY.
I pulled the word profundity from the nether regions of my brain. Yes I know I need to clean back there more often. I was pretty sure of the definition, but decided to look it up anyway. 
profundity
NOUN:
pl. profundities
Great depth.
Depth of intellect, feeling, or meaning.
Something profound or abstruse.
It’s not used too often, at least not in my circles. Of course in my circles great depth is considered a place to fish; Intellect is one of them computer companies; feeling is what you do in the dark to find your beer; and abstruse is one of them exercise machines used to tighten the belly. 
I am now done waisting your time with useless drivel. This has been more of an anti-profundity for three reasons.
It was pretty shallow.
Intellect was lost, feeling was numb, and meaning was absent.
It was something superficial or exoteric.
Or has it really been a profundity? I guess it depends on if you can belch your ABC’s.

We had a lot, and I do mean al lot of fun. Though I am drag assed tired now. On Friday we got to the camp ground late in the afternoon and set up camp and got dinner ready just as it was getting dark. The new tent went up slick as heck. The next morning we went fishing with all the boys from the pack that showed up. It was the first time for Jeremy. We fished till lunch time. After lunch we hiked two miles to a cool water fall and then back. All up hill I swear! Saturday night we had a pot luck dinner that was great. It’s amazing the stuff that people can come up with while camping.
This morning we got up and broke camp, packed up, then went to breakfast at the local diner near the camp. All the boys gave the dads there gifts and we all had a great send off breakfast. We got home earlier this after noon and this is the first chance I have had to get in here and share.

Today is my birthday, so technichally I'm a year older…. okay, so positiviely I'm a year older. I don't feel older and I know I think younger. I have so many friends pulling this old man bullshit. I'm too old for this, or my aching old bones. Sure my bones ache, but they've aways ached after strenuous activity and I know that they ache, not because I am old, but because I'm fat and out of shape. Sure it's getting harder to lose the weight and I don't heal quite as fast, but to throw in the towl at such a young age is insane. This doesn't mean that I am going to go out and join every adult leauge sports team I can find to prove my manhood or that I am still young. I didn't do that when I was younger, so why the hell should I start now?
My goal in life is to have fun and enjoy my youth till the day I die of old age. I want to run and play with my son and then be around to do stuff with my grand children.
Here's to another year of life's adventure!

Well, I'm new here! One day I will count all the different blogs I have out there, combine them, and publish a book called futility.
