Doing Myself a Favor....

Unfavorable Conditions:

I want to surf tomorrow, but it is not looking good. Too much swell and on shore winds will make for big, mushy, blown out waves. Ehhh... I'll play it by ear. Maybe I'll go driven down to Pacifica and check my local break, Lindamar, favorable conditions or not.

"It's been so long since I seen the Ocean..." Lyrics from the Counting Crows song Long December from the Recovering the Satelites album.

Maybe I'll stop by the shop and talk story wit' some of da folks...
Dude...I haven't been around the surf scene for while now. And on a somehwhat-semi-quasi-related tip: "Oooohh..." maybe I can get my skateboard fixed at the shop. Yeah...

YEAH!!!!

[Enter my night reverie]:


I'll wake up early tomorrow, slip in into a comfy pair of jeans, flip flops and a hoodie, pack my board(s) (surfboard(s) and *broken* skateboard to be fixed), wetsuit, leash, etc., drive down to the coast, buy coffee at Fog City Java, stroll over to Lindmar (the beach) check out the surf, go out if it's good

AND IF IT'S NOT GOOD...

I'll just take it all in: the salty ocean air into my lungs, the breeze against my face, the rush and hush, the push and pull rhythm of the tides in my ears.... Hmph...it HAS been so, so, so, so so, sooooo... long since I've EXPERIENCED da Ocean, da beach. I miss it. I can't wait....


It's interesting how I've conditioned myself to think of unfavorable conditions as favorable. Maybe I am an eternal optimist as some once told me of myself... hmmm... whatevs...
