Rudee boyz

Visit anywhere now in the USA. They will take your picture as you enter. This can be annoying. See my face in the last posting. I was hot and bothered. I really wanted a moment to collect my thoughts, and not smile for a camera. I never smile unless I am happy.

But that aside

This is the Rudee flipper. Its a boat trip for the purposes of watching Dolphins in the Virginia beach My brother and I took this trip. Fortified by Bud Lime, which brought General McCrystal down. In strong sunshine. I was reminded of the line about Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Mad dog perhaps.

Anyway, the water was rough, and I was grumpy. I kept wanting to say. `` Dolphins are just Gay sharks but I refrained. There was a volunteer lady patiently explaining why you can’t go swimming with Dolphins in Virginia,and showing off a skull of a Dolphin.

Full of pretty french girls, actually

The Rudee Rocket is a faster trip. We did see Dolphins here, but briefly. Its a roller coaster ride. They start off playing Jaws, as you leave the harbour, and than let the engines rip. You fall as you ride the top of a wave, and than gravity acts.

Funny thing is that the Flipper is a much rougher ride than the rocket. I spent a day recovering from the Flipper

Those dam dolphins.

PS Isn’t my brother so much cooler than me

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
