Updates…
July 4, 2007
I haven’t been posting much lately, (DUH!!!!). Why you ask? Well, let me go over that. Cool your jets!
It’s partly because I haven’t been working out for the last couple of weeks. I got a really, really annoying head cold/sinus infection so I figured it would be better if I took things easy – which sucked!
What sucked was that I got sick right before my birthday. I was quite worried that the nose thing was going to hamper my birthday snorkeling adventure. Ha!
Snorkeling was a bust. I mean a BUST! I neglected to check the ocean reports before I went and it was just crazy. There was some kooky southern swell that just wreaked havoc on the southern shores that day. There was surf in Hanauma Bay! You can see the beach and the bay when you walk down the hill. I noticed that there were people surfing in the bay which pissed me off since it seemed really inconsiderate of the surfers. I mean who wants to have to watch out for a board hitting your head when you’re snorkeling?
Of course I understood why there were surfers in the bay when I actually got down to the beach. They weren’t surfers – they were the lifeguards patrolling the reef for people caught in the waves. DOH!
I mean the surf was so bad you couldn’t even sit on the shore to put your fins on because there would be 1 to 2 foot waves breaking on the shore. We didn’t really stay that long because you just couldn’t see anything.
The ocean on my birthday.
This is what the place normally looks like.
A wave that wiped me out while I was trying to put my fins on.
After Hanauma Bay we decided to head over to the Blow Hole. I figured that the surf there would be pretty nifty since the ocean was so rough.
I haven’t been up to much, except I have basically been going to the beach every other day for the last 3 weeks. I really wish I would have started this sooner! It’s so nice to go the beach in the afternoon when it’s so hot here. Of course the really neat thing is that there have also been random turtle sightings at the beach too!
It’s just weird. I’ll be swimming along and then all of a sudden this turtle head would pop out and I would just freak out! (okay, that is unintentionally funny) I think I’ve seen a turtle 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Of course I don’t have any pictures of it though since I don’t bring my camera when I’m swimming for exercise.
Oh yea, another reason why I haven’t been posting is because of Blizzard. The bastards. I used to play World of Warcraft, a lot, when it first came out. I actually got my ex Tom obsessed with the game too for awhile. I got a free trial offer to play right before my birthday. It was a promo disc to play for 10 days and the disc included a copy of their new Burning Crusade expansion.
I got hooked again. It’s like visiting with an old friend. It’s fun and it’s comfortable. Gosh, I got started on these MMORPG’s with Everquest back in 2001. That game was both mesmerizing and annoying at the same time. It’s like Blizzard took the best elements of Everquest and made an almost perfect game. I say almost perfect because I think it would be better if the monthly subscription was cheaper. Heck, they have something like 8 million subscribers, I would think that they could afford to lower the rate a little.
I still have my level 60 hunter but I am just not feeling the love with her right now. I rolled a new warlock and a shaman to see how they were. Oh my, the warlock rocks! Talk about a powerful being! I love it! I think I am going to play for a little while more since I am having a lot of fun, so that means my updates might not be as frequent as before. Doh!
It’s the 4th of July in the morning for me and if all goes well, I should be heading back to Hanauma Bay for some snorkeling again! Woot! Then after that, my cousins’ downstairs invited us for some BBQ! Mmm, Mmm Good! My cousin started cooking this afternoon and he’s still going at it and it’s almost 1am here. It’s cool, but it also freaks me out that he started his grill at midnight and he grills so close to the house. I should go to bed soon but I have a feeling that I am going to be up for another hour or so to make sure the house doesn’t catch on fire.
