Let's Go Surfing Now



Man, all this almost super nice weather has given me the urge to go surfing. No, I don't have a surf board. No, I can't afford one. No, I can't surf, but whats that got to do with anything.
I starting surfing last summer on Long Island. The Island is probably the worst place in America, but I was only 15 minutes from a really nice beach. My boy Troy and I would wake up at 5 and go surf before clinic. It is seriously the most fun thing I think I have ever done. I only actually got up three times, and that in itself is such a feeling of accomplishment.
Have you ever seen an unhappy surfer, cause I haven't. I think it might just be impossible to surf and have a bad time...unless you get eaten by a shark or stung by a Portegese Man O War.
Troy is from a surfing family, been doing it all his life and he is crazy good. Troy, if you ever read this, your the man.
Anyway, I really want to start again. Maybe on weekends, or maybe we could go real early in the morning, leave around 4 and just rock out baby. If anyone is interested, let me know.

New Strings on my Guitar

Put some new strings on my guitar last night...nothing better than some fresh Elixers. They had some kind of new Elixer, some sort of new coating or something. I didn't understand what the lady was talking about, so I got the normal polywebs. Its fun changing your strings and getting it all in tune again and then deciding what the first chord your going to play is, then the first song, then the first song list. I wish I had a picture of my guitar to put up here, but sadly, I don't. I have definitly hit a rut in my playing, I'm feeling a lot faster but I haven't picked up any more theory in a while, and I think that is hurting me. I also haven't written any songs in a long, long time, so I should get back into that...

Because I think, you know...
