i love the beach!
I spent this past holiday weekend down at Surfside and it really was quite beautiful, seriously! Amazing weather and the water was not as brown and disgusting as it usually is, hardly any seaweed, and we saw porpoises (that is such a weird word to me, i prefer dolphin, but i was told they were not dolphins).
Hope and I were pretty far out (the ocean was really calm and shallow) just sitting and talking and I'm not joking when I say that about 2o feet away from me I see 2 porpoises jump out of the water. It was so unexpected and beautiful I shot up because I thought I was dreaming and screamed at Hope to look. She freaked out because she thought I saw a shark, because we were actually at that moment talking about sharks and shark attacks. Anyways it was pretty cool, but since we had freaked ourselves out with the shark stories we went back onto the beach and watched the porpoises from there. We must have seen at least 6 or 7 throughout the rest of the weekend it was pretty dang sweet!
I also had a pretty decent amount of time to read and finish Donald Miller's book Through Painted Deserts. It was great! It's not as "deep" as his other books, but it still had some great insights and it was a great story to read. I love his writing! It was definitely a great beach read.
I found a new band on myspace this morning, Clark. They sound a lot like Nick Drake. I like them a lot. I also splurged last night and bought the newest Muse cd and Ben Folds cd as well. Oh Itunes one day to save money I will be forced to delete you. I never realized how addicted I am to music until recently. Maybe it is a recent addiction since my Ipod, I don't know? I love music though and I love to play it, but I think I love listening to it more. I wish Kingwood offered more in the music area. If only Westheimer or Downtown Houston was closer. Anyways nothing insightful tonight. Maybe one of these days I will be more insightful. Not tonight though. I need to go to bed. Peace.
