kayak angst…
So I’ve been listening to a podcast that I think you will really like. Its called Stuff You Should Know and its a branch off of the website HowStuffWorks. It has all of the requirements needed for our kind of entertainment. It has two funny guys talking to each other and these two guys talk about obscure topics and get really in depth… I think those are the only requirements so far. I’ve learned so much since I started listening to them. For example: Toxoplasmosis, Whale Sharks, Brownfields, Body Dymorphia, Parasites and the list goes on! I’m sure you looked at each one of those words and got a little excited about what you could be learning about in the near future right?! Thats what I thought. And as a teaser check out their blog and learn about kayak angst… fascinating!

Whoa! I did not know there was an official term for it, but I totally have kayak angst! Is that where you are afraid to get in a kayak because it will undoubtedly tip over and you will be stuck and drown trapped underneath? I have that. We took kayak lessons on the Trinity river with my family when I was a kid and I faked sick almost the whole time.
I will definitely check out that podcast, I need to learn some more stuff.
I put the WP app on my phone, but something has to be changed in the admin settings before it gives me access. (you might have to accept this reply also…) Anyways, we’re off to find some coffee and then hit the gym for a bit, then we’re going to Jackson Square to sight see…there are so many great things to post about here, but I’ll pick one this afternoon!

Ok, so kayak angst is NOT where you are afraid to get in a kayak for fear it will tip over, but I can see where you could come to that conclusion without having read the StuffYouShouldKnow blog. Kayak angst is where you are afraid to go fishing for days on end in the endless waters of Alaska in a kayak with no reference point because you’ll end up going in large circles, falling asleep, waking up not knowing where you are and continue going in circles until the end of time! Hows that for a run-on sentence! Yeah!
