Man Activity #1 - Sitting Around a Fire Pit

There aren’t many things more manly than sitting around the fire with your buddies drinkin’ beer and roasting hot dogs. That’s just good old-fashioned fun. Last night I trekked up to Valley Center, which is just north of Escondido, CA. My girlfriend, Karina, our roommate, Bladimir, and I went to visit my good friend Chris Kinley for a night around the fire. Nobody lives out there in the hills of Valley Center, so the night is dark and the stars are bright. For the first time in a long time I felt like I was out in nature, and it felt good. It made me feel like more of a man. Sierra Nevada was drunk, Ballpark Franks were roasted, and crap was thrown into the fire and was then prodded with sticks. Best of all I smelled like smoke afterward, and it smelled goooood!
