I have reached a point in my life where too many ridiculous things seem to happen to me, and I drink far too much to be able to remember all of them without a written record. For that reason, and with a bit of inspiration from my friend Al, I decided it was time to start a blog. I never have anything particularly important to say, nor do I think highly enough of myself to assume that people really care to hear from me on a regular basis. I just think if God blesses us with a constant flow of bizarre life stories, we are doing him a total disservice if we keep those stories to ourselves until time or whiskey have erased them from our memory.
Since this is day 1, I want to start slow. I would like to discus my most recent obsession: the Airstream. I can't imagine a better life than one on wheels- a chrome dream. I have decided that my better option is the stand-alone trailer vs the full-on RV. With the full RV, if your car breaks down, your house does too. With my luck with vehicles, I don't think that is a risk I should take. The downside if I get the trailer is that I am at the mercy of anyone who is willing to give me a pull. It would be like hitch-hiking, but a tad less murdery. Maybe. It is my dream to be pulled across the country, while I sip on a 40 with my trusty three-legged sidekick. That's not a dirty name for a well-endowed man... this sidekick is King Leonidas Jack Bauer Botnen, or Leo for short. He is the biggest stud I know and would love to hit the road with me.
I have done some research, and I even found my dream home. It is a 1982 Airstream. What really sold me on it that it has an awning on the outside... think about it... you're having a beer on a hot summer day wherever your latest RV adventure has taken you. The sun feels good, but you are starting to get a minor heat stroke. If you are just hanging out in a regular trailer park, you may be screwed. Not if you were partying it up in my Airstream though! Just say the word, I will flip up the awning... and BOOM! Patio. You're welcome.

The reason I am starting with this post is that every time I post going forward, I want you to picture me sitting on my impromptu patio, drinking a 40 with my cat by my side while I write each entry. Thank you for helping me make my chrome dream come true.
