Truth be told you couldn't fit me in a nutshell cause I'm a fairly large guy, but... I think you get the idea.
What to write about? Well, I thought I would just give you a hodge podge about me and what interests me and you can decide from there if you even want to waste your time here or not. :)
I will probably post images and make comments about the following:
1. Books
I love to read. I enjoy all kinds of books from Christian fiction to fantasy to spy novels to westerns (one of my favorite genres) to biographies to Christian non-fiction to ... to... to... I love to read!
2. Movies
My favorite actor is The Duke (John Wayne) with Bogie (Humphrey Bogart) coming in a close second (not too close but close). However, I love older movies (pre-1990) and will probably comment on many of them as I watch them and will even give my thoughts on newer movies if I find them interesting and worth the time.
3. Computers and Technology
I love computers and new technology. Pictured above is a tablet I can't wait to come out, the Asus MeMO 370T. As I mentioned, I love to read and I do read on electronic devices (although I still love the feel of a great book). I currently own and read on a Sony e-Reader and love it but I think I will give it up for this little beauty when it comes out.
4. America
I love my country and am proud to be an American, however politics stress me out. :)
I will probably comment once in a while about things going on in our world, however for the most part I want this blog to be more about fun things not stressful things.
5. Religion
Well now that is a scary word isn't it? I am a Christian and I love Jesus with all my heart, however I don't see myself as religious but rather as having a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, as you can see from this list, I am a pretty down to earth ordinary guy and enjoy all kinds of things, and my relationship with Jesus is one of them. And although I have this section at #5, he is in fact #1 in my life. As the title of this blog says "Just the Ramblings of An Ordinary Guy", this blog is about things that are interesting to me and that fill my life, and Jesus definitely fills my life, so periodically I will spend time on Jesus, Family, Country and the things that make America great! Freedom to worship at a great church and believe in a caring and forgiving Lord is one of those great things! Picture above is an old church in Silver City, Idaho, in the Owyhee mountains where we camp and 4-wheel a lot.
6. Camping, 4-Wheeling (ATV), Outdoor Life
I love camping, there is not much that makes better family and friendship memories than camping and my family and I go each year 3 to 5 times / year. We also love to ride 4-wheelers in the mountains around our area called the Owyhees. I will definitely be posting family outings / adventures, history of the Owyhees and other mountain areas, outdoor pictures or sites that interest me etc.
7. Firearms (Especially those of the Old West)
Yes, I enjoy shooting firearms and will always enjoy shooting firearms. That's just the way it is, if you don't like such things this site is probably not for you.
9. The Wild West
I really love western history and will be posting different things ranging from ghost towns to western gunfights to anything western related, I love the old west!
My wife Chantel and I at Disneyland having a great time!
Like I said, putting me in a nutshell would be an interesting task. :)
My gorgeous daughters. Sarah (15) and Emily (11)
Well that's me in a nutshell, not a very interesting guy, just ordinary, hope you enjoy what I write about, if not, I surely understand, but I hope to interest and hear from some of you out there in cyber-space! See ya there.
So, It is really cool that this is your first blog, because this is my very first post or comment on somebodies blog, so we are kind of like even. However, I did have to have my daughter tell me how to post on here, and had to have my wife get me onto your blog, so we really aren't all that even... you are way ahead.
