If blogging was a sin, I'm sure I would be doing it more often...

It's getting so damn hard to keep up with this blog. But I'm persistent and will do whatever it takes to type some black across the vastness of white that fills my screen. Whether it makes sense or not, I don't care. It's a good thing I don't get paid to do this. I'd be broke as shit. Because I don't get paid, though, I can write whatever the hell I want and it won't matter to anybody. Knowing you guys, you'll either read it or not, then come back for the next post. And I love you for it. Seriously.

Since this is a theme blog, I guess I should stick to the theme. Kayaking. Oh yes, those crazy little boats that everybody thinks they would flip over if they ever got in one. I'm a dynamo when it comes to balance on the water and have never flipped a kayak, although I'm sure you would. I'm kidding, seriously.

This brings me to a point that I could write about: Mrs. Yak and her new kayak. They are getting along just fine. Neither has gotten the other too terribly wet, although the two of them put together have been the source of several soakings for me. Seriously.

We haven't had the boats out in a while, but I'm sure we'll go play in the water this weekend. Too bad we're not in Texas right now. I hear there is plenty of kayaking going on down there. My mom called me the other day and left a message asking if she could borrow my kayak because of all the rain. Seriously.

No mom, you can't borrow my kayak, but you did give me an idea for a trip! Speaking of trips, my cousin emailed an idea for a trip that was a little out of the parameters I set forth, but it intrigued me so...I still owe her a sticker. Oops. I haven't forgotten it, I just haven't sent it yet. I'm not going to make any promises because my last name is Johnson and you know how that always plays out, but I'll do my best to get a sticker in the mail this week. If you have no idea what I'm talking about see the side bar for trip contest, or whatever I titled it, I can't remember. Seriously.

That will do for now, but before you shut down your computer and go back to trimming your toe nails, or whatever it was you were doing that is more exciting than reading this blog, check out my brother and sister in law-to-be's new blog: mistyandjonjohnson.blogspot.com. That is as hard to type as it is to say. Seriously.

That's all for now. Be safe, wear your PFD, and remember kids...kayakers do it with paddles.



Fair winds and following seas...




Addendum: What's up with the "seriously"? I wanted to see if I could end every paragraph with the word "seriously". At first, I thought it would be difficult being how I would have to actually think each paragraph through and consider sentence placement. After the second paragraph, though, I realised you can say "seriously" after ANYTHING and it works. All you have to do is change the inflection in your voice to make it fit the tone of the sentence. Seriously, I could have put it at the end of every sentence. Or beginning. I left it in because I wanted to see if anyone would notice it, even though it killed the mood of the post and probably left the reader questioning my aptitude while trying to drink the word "seriously" out of his brain. Dude, seriously...

This post seemed to be very popular. There were FOUR comments waiting to be published when I logged on this evening. OK, three of them were from the same person and one specifically requested to not be published, but still...
If you commented and don't see it published, it's because you name dropped. My name isn't what you think it is. It's Riveryak, not that other one. Don't feel bad and appologies are not necessary, except from me for not posting you. My real job, which unfortunately is NOT kayaking for Dagger, has gained myself some mortal enemies. I'm alot like Spiderman. My enemies don't know my true identity, but if they did it would be bad. Ergo, my name is Riveryak and I'm married to Mrs. Yak.

Love always, Riveryak.

P.S. I have a few other nicknames that are OK for the blog. If you read all the comments you will notice them. No, Rivercrack is not acceptable.

Okay Yakster, point taken on name dropping (Crack-Yak is a good name if you ever take up rapping). I see the federal witness protection program doesn't work as well in reality as it does in all the brochures. Just as long as the government keeps sending the checks to the right account, you should be good to go. Keep up the blogging--I enjoy reading them and keeping up with your exploits, seriously.--Uncle Pink
