Adventure Blog
I've been on a ton of adventures over the years but have resisted the urge to blog about all of them. Part of my reasoning was I was always too busy to actually do that. It takes a while to gather all the photos together, write the content, juice up my SEO, and so on, all just to tell the internet that I went for a hike on a random Tuesday afternoon and saw three squirrels fighting over an N64 they stole from some kid. I figured I'd leave blogging to mommy bloggers and influencers.
Until... I did decide to make a blog after all. But not a boring one! In keeping with the theme of the rest of my site – quite interesting things and self-deprecating banter – my blog will be different. I'm calling it, "That Time I..." and will tell my personal tall tales that are all entirely true. Only the most engaging, head-scratching adventures that haven't already been documented will make the cut. If it's not Nathan Invincible worthy, I won't write about it.
Note: this is a work in progress as I delve deep to bring you weird old adventures and constantly go on new ones. Check back for updates!
