Wave Trepidation
According to popular belief, you shouldn't make rash decisions when you're upset. It has proved to be true, yet again. I was incredibly upset on Sunday, due largely to my inebriation the previous night. It had been a bit since the last time I drank too much, but I definitely crossed the line on Friday night. I lost more than people's respect, and I wish I could apologize a thousand times over. I said some things, did some things, and threw a shoe. It was ugly. So on Sunday, I checked Craigslist, found nothing; then bought myself a semi-new surfboard at Innerlight. The Kane Garden eight footer I purchased is a neon yellow and red acid-washed-top board of fibreglass. It's sick. It's sickkkkkkkk. Heh, I couldn't leave without it, like when you see the puppy that does the best eyes: it totally reeled me in. It has four glassed-on fins that I hope never break, and a nice big'n right in the center. On a clean day, I should be the fastest rider sliding through oil and jellyfish. Ugh, and jellyfish? Or cnidarians should I say? I've been studying the strangest animals in Zoology for this exam tomorrow. I have to know everything about acoelomates, cnidarians, lesser lochotrophozoans, and poriferans. Basically that means sponges, jellyfish and flatworm/tapeworms. They're lame animals that hardly have real organs, something their creator or evolution decided was only semi-important. I mean, epitheliomuscular tissue? Is it skin? Is it muscle? IT'S both. It's combined because someone got lazy. I can't wait to get into chordata. I also hope that the next essay question permits me to make another nerdy movie reference, that way I can get extra credit again. Last test: Blade reference. There are some things that require a touch of geek, and I've got a vast store of that particular talent.
