I believe they call this the prologue...

I feel like I should start by saying something cliche like "Welcome to my blog" or "Thanks for taking a break from Facebook, Twitter, and Tinder, be sure to swipe right" or "If you are looking for Deadpool Cosplay ideas you are in the wrong place, and really the world doesn't need anymore Deadpool cosplayers."

So anyway... Welcome. 

I must admit the decision to get back into blogging was a tad easier than sitting down and actually writing again but that is "art" for you. That said, I was tossing the idea whether or not to write for a really long time, and I am hoping this blog remedies a few itches I have been meaning to scratch. 

1) I really used to enjoy writing and kind of miss it. When I was younger and had more hair, I was a pre-journalism student in university and (humble brag) sports editor of the school paper for 2 years and in a round about way it was how I met my wife (more on that in a future post). 

2) This is my venting station, it allows me to get all the thoughts that are banging around in my head so I don't go crazy. My mind is a strange and scary place sometimes, usually funny but sometimes I even wonder where the stuff that I spit out comes from. If I got a nickel for everytime I made my wife roll her eyes well lets just say I wouldn't be using a free blog site. 

3) Maybe someday I will be able to fire up this page and show my daughter and soon-to-be-born son how much their daddy loved them when he was on the road for work. When I was single being an oilman was easier, now that I have a family and it's expanding I feel like if I can't be there for daily advice maybe I can share my wisdom and love here. 

Why "Dadpool" you ask? Simple I love comics... and honestly all the other dad pun names were taken... I'm serious I tried everything I could think of... "The Quick and the Dad", "The Good, the Dad, and the Ugly", "The Walking Dad", "Better off Dad", "Breaking Dad", etc...  I am glad Dadpool worked or my next option was "Dad men Don't Wear Plaid". 

So once again thank you for stopping by, hopefully the next one is more engaging and thought provoking... and maybe, just maybe a tad entertaining.
