At least then I can *THINK* no one I know is reading it.  and that&#8217;s just as good.<BR><BR>Anyway, I was walking along the beach the other day&#8230;.  like up to this place where there&#8217;s a big channel&#8230;  well, it&#8217;s actually pretty small, but&#8230; you get the idea&#8230; it would be a pretty good swim across&#8230;  and then there&#8217;s this island over there&#8230; and.. it was low tide&#8230;and i saw that there was a sandbar a little ways out &#8230;. so I decided to go over to it&#8230;. walked about half the way&#8230; swam the rest&#8230; only a small portion which I couldn&#8217;t touch the ground at&#8230;  anyway, once I got onto the sandbar it was pretty cool&#8230; water all around&#8230;  and like more breaking waves and stuff on the one side facing out into the ocean&#8230; it was really cool&#8230; nobody else was on it so it was sort of like my own private beach&#8230; heh \ud83d\ude09  So after standing around there for awhile I decided I wanted to go over to the aforementioned island&#8230;  despite all the signs that said &#8220;warning&#8230; dangerous currents&#8230; no lifeguard on duty&#8221;&#8230; I figured, hey, I can see other people on the island, so why shouldn&#8217;t i be able to get there? \ud83d\ude09  plus there were ppl on boats and stuff around there too&#8230; I figured (hoped ;)) that should I begin to drown that someone would try and help me \ud83d\ude09  But anyway&#8230; as it turned out&#8230; the water never really got deep there&#8230;.  the sandbar sort of continued about 2 feet underwater all the way over to the island.  So yeah&#8230; when I got there, I just sort of walked around&#8230; was tons of birds and stuff everywhere&#8230;really cool.  Also, I found some shells that were quite nice&#8230;  one huge one&#8230; that was unfortunately slightly broken&#8230; I had really wanted it as well.  I kept it anyway, but it&#8217;s kind of disappointing that it is broken.  So with all this, I decided I had best return&#8230;  as it was like&#8230; the lowest point of low tide when I went out there&#8230; and if high tide came in whilst I was out there, those dangerous currents would surely make my trip back more difficult \ud83d\ude42  And&#8230; shortly after reentering the water, I almost stepped on a stingray.  I was very happy when I noticed it and stopped putting my foot down and it swam away.  I saw him again later (or possibly another one, I don&#8217;t know) shortly before I left the water.  It was an exciting time.  Probably the most fun I have had by myself while at the beach.  I plan on going back once more before I leave, if at all possible&#8230; have to time it right with the tides \ud83d\ude09  But yeah&#8230; it&#8217;s really awesome to see stuff like that&#8230; but then&#8230; I just love being at the beach in general&#8230;  looking out into the ocean and all&#8230; it&#8217;s incredible to see&#8230;.  great for those contemplative states of mind&#8230; which I am almost always in&#8230;. \ud83d\ude09<BR><BR>&#8220;Yo toda via espero un milagro,<BR>Yo toda via te espero a ti.<BR>The sunlight is fading,<BR>the longest shadows have been cast.<BR>Like songs from a siren, <BR><BR>hurricanes from the past.<BR>And I am a failure,<BR>defeated every time,<BR>so let me lie here,<BR>a sidewalk for a shrine.<BR><BR>chorus<BR>I am so lonely,<BR>they say you were lonely too.<BR>Dear God be my savior,<BR>I wait for you.<BR><BR>My broken spirit,<BR>is trembling slow.<BR>Park bench for a throne now,<BR>my blanket is the snow.<BR>And I&#8217;m being haunted,<BR>by long forgotten dreams,<BR>for hurricanes have,<BR>the bluest eyes I&#8217;ve ever seen.<BR><BR>I am pining for your mercy,<BR>for this storm to break,<BR>Lord you are my comfort,<BR>the hope for which I wait.&#8221;<BR><BR>-&#8220;Hurricanes,&#8221; by Five Iron Frenzy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>all right \ud83d\ude09 So I&#8217;m still at the beach&#8230; I figured I&#8217;d write a little bit though.
