Quit job. Buy RV. Kick North America's ass.

Those Crazy Creationists

Creation slide

God differentiated hundreds of species of finches in the Galapagos because it makes him angry when we put it in the butt.  If A, then B, it’s simple logic people. Of course in more recent times than the 6000 years ago when the earth was created, books actually attributable to their authors would declare God [...]

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

bourbon

I’ve always enjoyed bourbon in the sense that drinking it makes you feel like a down home country gentleman, even if you’re mixing it with coke just to get (sour) mashed (which means a small portion of the previous fermentation is added to a new batch to speed the process).  There’s even a reason for [...]

Best. Comment. Ever.

Crescent City slide

3 months between posts is no way to run a blog, but I’ve been awoken by a most excellent comment on a post I made about Crescent City CA almost two years ago.  It’s moment like this that make me glad the content I previously posted is just sitting there on the interwebs for all [...]

You Can Check Arkansas Off The List

Arkansas slide

After spending the last month in Memphis, it apparently became time for a brief weekend saunter to a campground outside of town for a lil’ break and to make sure Bessie still works, so off I went the nearest State Park an hour away in Arkansas.  The fridge broke, but other than that the old [...]

Mardi Gras 2012

Mardi Gras slide

Well, that weekend was bat shit insane.  I’m also astonished I made it out relatively unscathed.  It’s also one of the few times you’ll ever hear me say this about anything…believe the hype. Without going way overboard on tales of bohemian fascination, the immense character of the city, that everyone will have a “New Orleans [...]

Who’s Tom Petty?

Panhandle slide

Yes, someone actually asked me that.  We were talking about concerts we’d been to and I referenced him at the once-of Pemberton Festival in Canada, and just got a blank stare.  I’m not sure if it’s worse or better that I followed up, eyebrow raised with “y’know…Last Dance With Mary Jane…Free Fallin’?” and got “oh [...]

About Blimpy

This site is the story of a man (Blimpy Backgammon) from Calgary AB, Canada who made the electrifying realization that there’s more to life than working for the man or owning a condo.

So he quit his job, sold all his stuff, bought an RV (Bessie) the same age as him (27) and can now go anywhere and do anything, whenever he wants.
