Simplify. Just add water

I saw this in a recent surf magazine. It struck me.

And so, with you... I share:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Foam: Fiberglass: Fabric: Fun

Isn't this really all you need?

Local or transplant. Shortboarder or longboarder. Goofy or regular. Grom or veteran. Guys or girls. Amatuers or pros. Tow-in, paddle-in, chop hop or power turns. Boat trips, beach breaks, billion-dollar brands or backyard businesses. High fashion, anti-fashion, fashionista, fashion victim, art scene or action sport. Lifestyle or marketing ploy. In the know or outta the loop. Sanctioned or non-santioned. Copy cats or innovators. Leaders or followers. Hierarchy or anarchy. Oil or religion. Democrat or Republican. War or Peace.

When did life get so complicated? Simplify. Just add water.

I've been spending more time in the water lately. My shoulder is responding well to the PT and I've finally graduated to the point where I can surf again. I've been playing with some longerboards that my generous friends are willing to share with me. I've decided the 9'6 is too long. I quite enjoy the 9'0 though. But still, the 7'7 is more fun. Perhaps I'll find somthing around 8'3-8'5ish. I love it. Long or short. I love being in that water. It grounds me, and sets me free.

Rusty nailed it... simplify - just add water.

Vanity v.s. Sanity

I learned an interesting tidbit of info today:

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than there is on Alzheimer's research.

Do you realize what this means? Just imagine, by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Isn't vanity grand. Ugh.

Pygmalion

Pygmalion

... the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will... (G.B. Shaw)

Introductional Insight...

I have a sincere fascination and passion with the blue... I'm learning to surf it on a 6'0, 7'7, or 9'6 (depending on the waves that day... and who I'm with).

I make an honest attempt to capture through the lens whatever catches my eye. Mostly pictures of my surroundings, nature, people, and life's little pleasures.

I have recently began to paint on canvas with acrylics.

I confess when I write. Everything and nothing. Raw thoughts.

I love animals and children and innocence and truth.

I have an intense fear of heights.

I welcome change.

Purple is my favorite color, and red takes a close second.

I like the energy of the number 3.

I regularly crave toast and I absolutely adore cream cheese frosting. ;0)
