Back In The Saddle

Posted by RamblinDad on April 25, 2008

I like to write. The problem is I have not been and am out of practice. As you can tell if you look at the rest of this blog, it has been far too long sinxe I have posted. Will I do better? I sure hope so. I find this an outlet that is needed and lord knows there are not enough blogs out there for people to peruse and I would hate to deprive any from reading my fine words of wisdom and whit.

Most of my posts will be fairly boring tidbits from my life. Woohoo! I can feel your excitement bleeding through the ether. I tend to be a tad sarcastic so hold on to your socks.I have no special cause or odd happenings in my life to write, other than being a dad. If you do not consider that odd enough then you need to reassess what a dad is. A dad is someone to lean, climb, hang from, and climb on. He is a hero, a confidant, and best sidekick in the world. He sees things that no other can see and does things no other can. You can laugh at him and he laughs right back. This all can be interesting if it can be written about in a way that makes sense or at the very least is fun or funny to read. Wish me luck.

Looking back at this post I see one thing wrong with it. It is a tad bit self centered. News flash here. Blogs are the epitome of self contentedness. They cam also be fun for those that read them and for those that write them.

I hope I can keep this up and would be thrilled if anyone read it and commented on it.

Profundity

Posted by RamblinDad on June 22, 2006

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.
