I just got back from a nice relaxing vacation in Florida. I spent it in a nice place on Longboat Key in Florida. I recommend it. Very relaxing place. I behaved very oddly there. :)

I tried my luck at sailing. It's nice to know I can suck at something that badly and still survive it. *nod*

I went to Sarasota and visited the porno theatre where Pee Wee Herman was arrested for slapping his salami. *wipes a tear* It's my personal Graceland.

I taught my little goofball to surf. Kinda. I taught Mrs. Goofball to surf too. Kinda. Hehehe. Perhaps I would have been a better teacher if I knew how myself.

Of course, I did relatively normal stuff too like scuba diving, shopping and sunburning my skin. I found a groovy looking shell and I brought it home. I thought I might try to make a seashell jockstrap out of it. You know, to disturb people with.

Glad to hear you liked our state. It's January and I'm in a wife-beater and boxer shorts, no heat turned on.
Sarasota is nice, but did you get a chance to visit Ybor City or the Dali Museum just a few miles north?

'fraid I didn't. But I will most likely go back there next year.

I know what you mean about the sailing, or maybe I don't, but I know what's like to catch the wind and sail for ages thinking that you're so cool. But when the time comes to turn around... how the fuck do I get back? x_x

:edit: Plus there's always the fun of losing a few brain cells as you repeatedly get hit by the boom (the horizontal wooden pole that's attached to the sail)

Not to bash my own city, but next time you should check out the east coast. Cocoa Beach is sweet in the summertime (just don't get busted checking out all the skin if you're married... the town inspires divorces).

That part didn't bother me much. I apparently can't be knocked any sillier than I already am. ;)

Good to see you back, LG

I missed you Goof :D

It's nice to be missed. :)

I would have sent you guys a postcard, but I forgot my addressbook. :(

So tell me, just how do you manage to keep child welfare off your back? I'm sure they'd steal away your little goofball in a second if they really knew who you were. However, I personally think only goofball-lish-type-people should be allowed to raise children... *continues to wonder off the point* That does raise the question of how did you get Mrs Goofball pregnant? I've seen you proudly state that you and your friends play games to see just how high you can get a man to speak by kicking the balls, and I've also heard you not-so-proudly state that you're ocassionally a victim of such games.

Let me answer these questions one at a time:

How do I keep DCF off my back? If the psychiatric ward can't catch me, the DCF sure can't. :D

How did I manage to even have a kid? Nobody was more pleasantly surprised than me. :)

Three of my friends and I were escorted off of Key Largo by the sherrif's office once.

I went to london from 28 dec to 10 jan with a buddy, we stayed in a youth hostel and partied for 12 nights in a row. London is the place to be for new years.

It was amazing.

Also i ended up for a night in Treforest Wales via Cardiff.

The next morning I was wandering around the Cardiff waterfront with friends and we came across a big red church that said "welsh assembly, public welcome." Like the "assembly of god" in the US, you know~!

Never having been to a cathedral in wales before, and it being free, we decided to kill some time.

After going through two sets of doors, we were met by Airport Security and had our bags searched and put through metal detectors.

Wow the welsh like their cathedrals!

We passed the guard test and were let through another set of doors where we saw, to our growing stunned awe and slight embarassment a huge plasma TV screen showing the debate going on elsewhere in that building, the Welsh National Assembly.

I bought a really nice pen in their gift shop, it was the only souvenier I bought on the whole trip.


IN any case, I'm going back for new years 2006.

Lived in Florida for four years, spent my first Christmas on the beach. Nice.

Cool to see so much green in the winter.

Happens to me in Florida all the time, man.
