Ridding my life of social media comes with the consequence
of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. All of the positives of social
media must be sacrificed to accommodate the benefits of burning social media to
the ground. Some family and friends are still interested in seeing my children
grow and there are plenty of fans of my San Diego performance career that would
like to know my schedule and thoughts on improv and clowning. That being the
case, I will use The Daddy Experience Blog once again to post updates and
pictures and thoughts that probably would have found their way onto social
media, without subjecting myself to the cesspool of negativity that repelled
me.
New Car
We bought a new car this past weekend! I hate buying cars,
but I love driving away with a new car. This weekend’s purchase wasn’t exactly
a new car, but it was so close. We used a website called True Car, which
filtered cars down to the price, year, make, model, mileage and location, which
resulted in a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan with 32000 miles for $15,999 just about
25minutes from us. It was the first car we looked at, and we bought it. This
means we are idiots, but even idiots can luck out sometimes. It has a little
wear and tear, needs floor mats and a second key and a roof rack, but for
$10,000 in savings, it made sense.
Used car salesman are just about as proud to represent their
stereotypes as are DMV employees. It is almost like they’re found in central
casting and only playing the roles of salesperson. He gave us a hard sell, but
I figured, how bad can a 2016 with 32000 miles be? I guess I’ll find out.
Either way, it was a necessity. The kids are getting bigger, and in 2018 we are
doing a mega-trip from July 1-31 to Vegas, Salt Lake City, Yellowstone, and the
5 Utah national parks. It should be extremely fun or a valid reason to have us
checked by psychiatrists.
Oh yeah, we also had a baby last year. Another boy…Hunter.
He is a real sweet heart, but he sleeps in my bed and for the last year I’ve
been relegated to the couch. Kind of a dick move, but I love him anyway. Enough
updates for now…more to come.
