i was singing from time to time to my friend (bless him) music non-stop! because she never shuts the fuck up. we had some good telepathy laughs over this and thankfully some others joined next day. on the ride back we exchanged smth like 10 words (it was brilliant), one being that i can still hear her voice in my head.
otherwise, it would have been the perfect relaxing time there.
it rained, but nothing radical like other times, we had a good spot for our tents, not many known people/regulars were there, it wasnt that crowded as we feared and the mental asshole was far away.

I'm confused, who is the girl now? Is this in addition to the harpooning doberman owner? What kind of neighborhood do you live in?

Just popped back on to say, I am about to venture out on errands. I stepped outside and within .2 seconds was blasted with a noxious wave of oppressive heat.

Fuck summer and all its proponents.

She's Greek. She lives next door to Vangelis.

I'm in FL of course I love the beach. I seem to have random objects hit me each visit though. Last time a flying umbrella, and a football hit my ass. Time before a surfboard smacked my head.

The river is more fun though. Sandy beach and lots of trees. Only drawbacks r the gators, snakes and ticks:)

Summer eats it. Swimming, however, is the only antidote.

Yeah, sometimes I enjoy hanging by a lake more, but nothing beats the ocean, especially if you surf or bodyboard.

I found that venice guy in a meme:

I love beaches but hate hot summer weather.
Summer + hot sun = Laser beams burning holes thru my skull. Bright sun actually hurts my eyes, even with sunglasses on.
Winer snowstorms = Beautiful, therapeutic, calming = The best!

But I would live in ANY climate to live on the WATER. My dream is to live on a houseboat (but not on the Amazon).

That sounds really rad. I like living near the ocean; I can't see myself living anywhere else.

Providing the weather is good i should be cycling to Walberswick this weekend (about 40 miles), camping on the beach then walk to Southwold the next day to get the best fish and chips and beer i have had in the UK.

Good morning.
Where was tsiko standing for the wave to try and poach him?

I saw this guy over the weekend again. He had a pretty large crowd following him, just walking and taking pictures. I guess they were just following him because of this:

I spent most of my youth, for subcultural reasons, trying to convince myself that I hated the beach. But I'm actually never happier than when I'm on one.

I love the beach. Any beach. Favorite beaches are in Maine because the temperature of the water is refreshing coldly. Usually between 65 to 72 fariheit. Can easily spend 8 hours or more in the sun. Favorite activity body surfing.

Perfect 24 hours at the beach: Dig a pit and heat rocks in a fire for the entire day while swimming and body surfing, smother the fully heated rocks with seaweed then place lobsters, clams and corn on cob on top of seaweed and slowly steam food to eating perfection. Clean up and start a bonfire, add music live or a boombox, add friends and party finish night off by climbing in a sleeping bag with a partner of choice and making love under the stars till the sun rises. Spent some of the best days of my life this way. Not this week because of the holiday but the week after I'm going to the beach. :cool:

i had a great 24 hours on the beach saturday-sunday. the weather was perfect, yesterday there wasn't a cloud in the sky. i also really enjoyed the 41 mile bike ride i did to get there on my mountain bike (took about 4 hours) it felt good!
