Waterborn's blog

So I had a very long meeting that went from 2 pm until well after 5pm. When we wrapped up, I went out for a few barely and hopps specials with some co-workers and trundled on home after 7. This type of schedule leads to a certain lack of motivation when it comes to my blogging escapades, so I simply give you Nygel, my boy, and one of his friends. Say hello Nygel (he's the big one).

One of my favorite movies of all time is the Warriors (http://www.warriorsmovie.co.uk/). I first saw this movie on a third hand recopy of the original Beta version when I was 12 or so. At that time, I lived in the midwest and my only exposure to "The Big City" was an occasional trip into St. Louis to see the Cardinals play or take a ride up into the Gateway Arch (an entire blog entry in itself). I had never seen NYC except for movies and SNL, but I was hooked once I saw this movie.

So to keep the theme going (that is of me posting water related clips), I give you the meanest, ugliest wave ever ridden by man or beast - THE WEDGE. Those with weak stomachs, recent pregnancies or fear of breaking your neck may wish to look away.

All right folks, after much cussing and gnashing of teeth (and the subsequent departure of my girlfriend to bed), I have my debut online video. This is the FIRST personal video I have ever posted to the web. This is obviously some milestone of existence as I approach 40 this year. Imagine what I will acccomplish in my 80th year on this planet! The thought is mind boggling. But then again, the act of posting a single, 49 second video to the world wide web has taken me most of the night, so go figure.

And without further adieu, Waterborn in his element:

OK, with Faelorn's help, I have been working on figuring out how to post videos to this blog. Here is my first test, a kayaking video from youtube.
