KaYakity Yak

I didn't get to mention that I had a lovely President's weekend camping in Morro Bay (just north of Pismo Beach). I was a little worried that of all the weekends of warm nice weather, that would end up being the rainy, muddy one. But we got lucky!

We spent about an hour one afternoon Kayaking. It was our first time in a Kayak, and it was really fun! The coolest part was where we Kayaked though.



We saw a sandy island in the distance with beached Kayaks - so we invited ourselves onto its shore. It was the coolest sandy island ever! Because you could only get to the island by swimming or by boat, the island was clean and as nature intended. It could have easily been used as a fake "sahara desert" setting for a movie.

On the other side of the sandy island was your more typical beach, full of bizarre looking dead seaweed and plant life.

A year of crashing waves, but no winds causing it...

So I had really high hopes... extremely high hopes for 2007. I figured, 2006 sucked pretty bad... lost some loved ones, work had been unstable and moral was at its low, close friends laid off, bla bla bla...

I figured 2007 would turn things around... "7" has always been my lucky number (at least i make myself believe that) and things were going to be good.

Coming into 2007, drama has ensued in personal issues, people are still looking for jobs now, work is even more unstable and even the Chinese Horoscope is warning me that all the elements are against my sign and I should be very very careful and not do things like climb high places or get married. HMM... My mom translated from a horoscope that this year would have crashing waves, but no winds to be causing it. Sounded very confucious when i first heard it, but now in writing it down... it kind of sounds silly. Of course there's no winds causing it... it's the gravitational pull of the moon! Duh.

In general, my mood has been hovering on indifference, I guess? I'm not depressed about things, but i'm certainly not estatic and inspired.

I came across this video on Sharkle, which gave me a nice laugh today, so I thought i'd share it here. Don't watch it if you're afraid of lizard blood... I think it's especially cool because it's not in english... so you can translate their screaming anyway you want...

Does that make you interested in pressing play yet? :)
