That title could be applied to many things, so I’ll act like a horoscope and tell you that a personal era in your life is about to end while another one will soon begin. What I just said is an excuse for using that title, which just popped into my head and felt really good to type. Now… moving on… this is my first weekend post (weekend being defined as a day without school; I know very well that today is Friday). Generally these posts tend to be boring, but I have a boatload of things I never got to vent on in August, so they should be no less entertaining than my weekday posts (however entertaining they may be). So let’s get started.
The most interesting thing that happened this August was probably my vacation to Mexico. It lasted about seven days, two and a half days longer than last year, which actually made all the difference. For five of those days we just relaxed on the beach… which I just realized that I’d really like to be doing right now. We snorkeled a bit as well; the sea turtles were incredible. And on the last day I even got bit by a fish. Just a regular, short-sighted fish who probably saw a piece of food and didn’t realize that beneath that piece of food was my back. Then, on one of the remaining days, we took a tour of Chichen Itza. It was incredible, even better than Tulum (which I saw last year), probably one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. one really cool thing about the temple was the acoustics; if you clap at the bottom of the steps the echo that comes back sounds just a bit like a crow. The other day… we rode camels through a jungle. Yes, that was not a typo. Camels. Through the jungle. In Mexico. Camels. I know. But it was actually really cool, and actually I found it a lot more comfortable than riding a horse. Then, to cap it all off, I got one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken of the sunrise from an airplane. Here it is… and I know it says it at the bottom of the page but I’ll give my little paranoia talk here anyway. This is mine. You can’t use it for anything unless I say yes.
SONG OF THE DAY: WHAT I’VE DONE
And there we go, picture and video all up in a neat little column. Sorry for the three days of Linkin Park, but this was kind of necessary for today, personal reasons. I promise to put something non-LP tomorrow. Though you should get used to it… there will be a lot of this band on here until I exhaust every song from A Thousand Suns. Adios.
