I hate football today. I really do. I'm bummed the Chargers lost yesterday, but its a feeling you learn to live with when you grow up as a Charger fan. At least we didn't lose to the Cardinals or something... Today has been the full force of a Monday. My mind is spinning and in a knot. At least I got a lot of things done. I was too tired to surf as I surfed double sessions yesterday, at Pipes and then at Blacks. Today the wind was on it... so it seemed like a good day for a work day. This last week Matt and Colin were up here. We had some good times playing the Nintendo Wii I got for my birthday from Holly. I guess she is pretty bummed now that I play it all of the time. I even got tennis elbow from the tennis game. Well, not really, but I play so much that I get sore, but now I'm old and shit so maybe its just because I'm old.
We cruised out to the OB Pier to get breakfast burritos. Very good ones out there at the cafe, as I've said a million times. Too bad that Heather isn't working there anymore though. Heres some photos of me taking Otis to watch some old guy feed the birds. I'm not sure what it is about old people and feeding birds, but they sure love doing it. One day I'll figure it out I'm sure. Otis was pretty stoked on it, but its kindof strange watching birds fight to the death over a slice of moldy bread. Breakfast burritos were way better. Then Matt and Colin took off and Will Pirkle came into town for a couple of days. We worked on our game plan for the Zephyr Eco Project, which is finalized but still being updated on the website. You'll find not much and some dead links, but give us a few days and you'll see exactly what the story is. It is very sweet. Hey, does anyone know anyone who needs to rent a house in Tamarindo? Holly and I are renting out our apartments in Langosta, check
http://langostatamarindo.blogspot.com to see some photos. I have been asked a ton if I'm going to furnish the units, and I figure that if I go that far, I may as well make the place a rental property for the surf camp, but I'm torn on the topic, because personally I don't want to have to drive past the surf camp and into the heart of the beast of Tamarindo.
Maybe thats only because I lived in the area for almost seven years... Avellanas was a good move, but still right in the middle of it. It didn't help when I found out that the local developers want to make the corner where my house is the center of town, and build it out with strip malls. Woo hoo! So, as I sit in my pad in San Diego, at my desk, I see sailboats and waves breaking off of the OB jetty. I've just finished an hour and a half meeting with James using Skype, no headphones, just my laptop's mic and speakers. I love this technology shit. I worked on a project with Rafa and sent everything back and forth. I actually am getting so much more done from up here, its weird to see how the internet has slowly attached itself to practically every aspect of normal life. Location matters very little these days. Except when it comes to surfing, and water temperature. Blacks had some nice waves, but it had plenty of people and the water was a bit chilly. This has led me to try and figure out when I am getting back to CR. No pressure though, I'm just going to take each day as a gift and do whatever feels most interesting. A bit of html code, a bit of frisbee golf and breakfast burrito, a bit of Handy Manny or Baby Einstein, some surf, a few phone calls, a couple of emails, etc etc.
