Not the Outdoor Type,

I was reading Crusty's Latest entry about going camping and it got me thinking abit, I am not the outdoor type. I hate camping. I have slept outside, on a basektball court, but my idea of ruffing it would be a motel 6 or a red roof in. I am just not the outdoor type. The wifey on the other hand has been irking me to go camping. We have friends who have invited us to go camping, but somehow I always measle my way out of it. I mean its all about mosquitos, and flies, and smores (Okay, i like the smores), and possibly the bear and the deer. I mean we have most of those thngs in beatufil northwest NJ why in the world would I want to go sleep n a tent somewhere just to experience the same thing? I am just not the outdoor type, I never liked fishing. For example, this weekend we were with my nephew who is 7 and he was watching the fisherman fishing, and was waiting patiently for them to catch a fish, Me, I couldn't be bothered even at 30 years of age, I was pretending to be eli manning, throwing the ball into the ocean to one of my receivers down field. Maybe I am more of a dreamer then the outdoor type, well to leave you on this muggy day I will leave you with some lyrics to "Outdoor Type" by the Lemonheads.

Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I’ve never set foot inside a tent
Can’t build a fire to save my life

I lied about being the outdoor type
I’ve never slept out underneath the stars,
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type

I’ve never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike
I can’t go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if somethings on tv and it’s never shown again
Its just as well I’m not invited I’m afraid of heights

I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim can’t grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type
