back from PR...

yah, so I got back from PR last night to some suhweeet freezing temps, and a little bit o' snow this morning here in NY... its incredible how much I miss the beach right now,... Ive said it before and ill say it again... I think I'm solar powered, perhaps we all are?.. another topic for another time,...right now I want to talk about beach etiquette.

Let me paint a picture for you real quick... it's a beautiful sunny afternoon, slight breeze, ocean crashing in the background, the sun recharging your body as you feel a slight tingle all the way through your skin...there are occasional couples walking by as you cant have the entire beach to yourself(although that would be super...see picture)... but even still, its a nice low key social setting, making you completely relaxed and comfortable having just found the right position laying on your stomach as you've built up a little head rest for your forehead so your nose doesn't get mushed... and then...

in a seemingly intentional style, a couple decides to set up some beach chairs about 10 ft. away from you. Of course the breeze is blowing towards you so now there is sand being kicked up into the wind landing on your back and face. as if this wasn't enough, they put on a radio with some bullsh*t garbage that I cant even understand... I quickly put an end to that, but then in a retaliatory manner asked if I would mind them putting up an umbrella...

I don't even know how i kept everything I wanted to say inside, but I simply made them aware that there was an entire beach they could use, and that if they put up their umbrella in this exact location, it would block the sun I was bathing in.

so, .. mood destroyed, I'm annoyed, sandy and awake from a once relaxed state of mind while these two seem to be completely incapable of any form of consideration.

... the rest of the trip was excellent though,... we enjoyed some great food and had some good fun in the casino... unfortunately i think we may have paid for a chandelier in the lobby by the time we left, but it was some fun entertainment.. or at least that's how i rationalize it...

good times... lata!
