My evening at the beach

It wasn't horribly eventful. It was pretty relaxing actually. Until I was started getting frostbite...

I sat there by the ocean in beautiful OB, playing my guitar right next to Lifeguard hut "4". I strategically placed myself between two bonfires of what i can only describe as "happy kids".
I'm sitting there and then I notice these two guys sitting at the lifeguard station and one of them is singing. Loud. And a spanish song to boot.

It totally threw me off my "Redemption Song" reggae set. I mean, how rude. Was he auditioning? Were we going to break out into a Santana video or worse, a musical? I don't even know any spanish songs. Except for LaBamba. And who wants to play that...

Then he left. Thanks for the serenade, mexican guy. But if you really wanted to impress me, you'd have sung redemption song in Spanish. How do you say "emancipate" in spanish?

So I kept on playing, feeling my hair frizz up as a result of the ocean air and then a couple came to sit on the lifeguard "4" stoop; exactly where Placido Domingo was. A young girl and a young guy. And guess what? SHE starts singing. I felt like Simon Cowell. It reminded me of the Bugs Bunny episode where the opera singer was practicing his singing and you could hear Bugs in the background beating away at his banjo. It was just bizarre.

Other than that, pretty uneventful. Saw some stoners walking barefoot in the streets. How could anyone walk barefoot without thinking they're going to get some foot disease? Is it just me? All I could think about was their gritty bedsheets. You just know it.
