hello all, i was skimming through the posts and noticed fat cannuck's call out on this place turning into a place to post-what seems to be-just press releases/junkets, etc.

and i have to agree, lately this place is getting stale (and not in a good way, like a jason jesse stalefish). more like stale, hot summer air that refuses to circulate with anything fresh.

so, what better way to spark things up than to tell you what i have been up to in the last twenty hours...

i just got off a trip (work related, not the fun kind). we were in vegas on the run way when the air conditioning went out, while number twelve for take-off...this was a lot of fun, as i really like sweating like michael jackson in an orphanage. anyways, i was able to catch a nice, nasty cold from some disease infested passenger (thanks homie); most likely one of the 98% that never washes their hands after using the bathroom (you know who you are, dirt bags).

anyways, i started feeling like shit. my throat hurts, my eyes and glands are swollen and my back aches. shit, i feel 'man-pregnant'.

i woke up this morning with the hopes that this little viral thing would pass through me with a lot of fluid intake. i was wrong. nonetheless, i decided to meet a friend and go surfing at fort point (this is fort point for those of you who are stuck in ohio: http://www.pcimagenetwork.com/sports/surfer_1c.html).

my friend stops by to pick me up with my surfboard in his car, we stop at a coffee shop, i pull out my board to attach some new fins and promptly drop the damn thing putting a nice ding in it. fucking great. not only do i suck at surfing, i also suck at holding a surfboard. it is at this time that i think to myself that i would fare much better at rollerblading. i wonder if skates on haight sells these things?

after drinking my 20 ounce'r...oh, sorry...'venti' we jumped in the car, reversed out only to feel a tap from another driver. yep, fender bender....

after exchanging insurance information, we are on our way.... we make it to fort point and the surf is so-so (actually it is nothing great). i pull on the old three-two suit and paddle out with my friend. he drops in and just rides the face out...i line up on the next set and shoulder hop some old guy and appologize on the take-off, he seems cool. i proceed to drop in, do a weak back handed snap and then try and go into a 180 and ride the wave out fakie. this went well until my damn board-the one i so wrongly dropped and put a ding in-came back up with brut force and popped me hard in the face. maybe it's an eye for an eye thing...

so, now i have a black eye to go along with my cold and a newly dinged surfboard.

you guys have a great day.
