Welcome to Rob’s Surf Report. My name is Rob, and you may call me Rob, Surfer Rob, Rob Lobster, Lobster, Rob Rossome, and I’m always open to some marvelous, new appellation.
If you happened to land here while looking for an honest-to-goodness surf report, you are in the wrong place for that. This is my blog, and it’s about . . . well . . . life. It’s about the ups and downs – the waves you catch and the ones you miss; the times you’re tossed and those triumphant moments where you stand tall, having mastered the forces of nature within and without. It’s about how the most exciting part is that regardless of whether you stand or wipe out, you can choose to come away exhilarated, with a little taste of it in your mouth, feeling as though you have been baptized. Forged in the fire of adventure.
This is a place where you’ll find a little bit of everything. I have a wide variety of interests – so many, in fact, that I have some trouble sticking with one thing. I write poetry, stories, and musings about life. I take photos and I appreciate the wonderful photography that generous souls make available for use under the Creative Commons license, for which I will ever be grateful. I draw, I create things through crafty means, and I play music. In short, I explore the world through creative means and I try my best to share some of that with the world through this blog. If you’re here to explore then you’re in the right place, and I hope that you find some interesting things to read; but I hope even more that you find something interesting to consider as you explore your own world. I hope that it drives you on and that it brings you back.
Here’s to a life of exploration.
Thank you for reading.

Aww, well thank you! We have been enjoying the crap out of today, hopefully you and yours are as well. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your writing soon!
Count me in for music please, thank you! and perhaps culture…
Coming soon! Thanks for the likes and comments. 🙂
Cool! But I fear the professor could never surf!
Everyone has their thing, Prof. What’s yours?
I am fascinated by it. It’s very impressive.
I like to throw knives. I know it’s sort of odd…
No, that’s cool. Like a carny thing, people who throw knives with any level of precision are awesome in my book.
Hey, thanks! That makes the professor feel good!
Hi! I’ve been told that maybe my pinger isn’t working…so, wanted you to know I nominated you for the Liebster award 🙂

Hey, thanks!
Can you add this to your haiku biography challenge? I don’t do this enough to remember how to do it. Thanks. Sandy http://sandrabranum.wordpress.com/2014/01/15/dr-seuss/
You did it right, it just has to be approved before it shows up. 🙂
I wanted others to read your writing and blog so I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award, a meme to share blogs. I know you are busy, so only if you can; here’s the post: Liebster Award Nomination Keep writing!
Thank you, Sheri!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve also nominated you for the Liebster Award 🙂 http://acmelodyblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/paying-it-forward/
I have another haiku for the biography challenge, but once again have done something wrong with the ping back. Here’s the link. http://sandrabranum.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/chuck-yeager/ and thank you Rob. 🙂
You did fine, Sandra. 🙂
Wordpress has a weird system where if I approve your comment once, you’re good to go, but for some reason I have to approve every. single. pingback. It gets a little frustrating for the wait, but at least I get to read all of them!
Hi Rob, here’s another haiku for you for the Romance Challenge. Thanks again. Sandra http://sandrabranum.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/romance/
We got you!
