You don’t buy beer, you RENT it

Posted by Pete on September 29th, 2004

Went and saw “Rent – The Musical” last night. Certainly an interesting play but rather dark. I haven’t been able to decide if I liked it or not. The first part was good, it touched on some of the issues that the characters had to deal with but the second part really exposed those issues more…which was realistic, but not encouraging in any way.

The beer was pretty good though and only $3.50!

Short Board

Posted by Pete on September 28th, 2004

I realize a lot of my posts are about surfing but that’s one of the main things I love about being out here in San Diego. Last weekend I tried a shorter board for the first time. For those that haven’t surfed, learning on a long board is considered the best way to start out because its easier to paddle and more stable to stand on. Switching to a shorter board is something that a lot of people do closer to the winter here because the waves are bigger and you need to be able to cut and move around. The difficulty is with the increased mobility, you lose stability which makes it tough at first for those who still are learing.

So, needless to say, I did crash a lot when I went out but I also managed to stand up a few times and although I wasn’t doing much, I can already tell this is much better than long boarding.
