Dorky Dad

Dorky Dad

http://www.mazeville.blogspot.com

I'm a dork. I was a dork in high school, but I hated my label so I did everything humanly possibly to de-dork myself. I wore "fashionable" 80s clothes (ick), I bought a car, I even ditched my dork friends for friends lower on the dork-o-meter. I now realize that all this accomplished was to cement my own place in the dork universe. I am now resigned to my fate.

If I were a dork, I'd want to be a dad. Wait. If I were a dad, I'd want to be a dork. No. If I were a blogger, I'd want to be like Dorky Dad.
