wassup adorable ass duck

this was our buddy for about 45 minutes today, he fucking ruled!!

Narboo and I were chilling on the dock at the end of the day, drawing pictures. This crazy little duck kept swimming super close to us and jumping around on the dock, sneaking up on us.. he was out of control.

His quack was awezome, he had this really soft, quiet quack. I've never heard a duck quack like that.
Besides the fact that he stole my wallet and put some unauthorized charges on my ATM card, I really liked that little web footed guy.

swim and be free!

Green Lake Good Times Session 2009

I met up with Narboo, Steve, and Shawn to skate around Green Lake today.. good times!

I don't skate a long board, I gots a regular skateboard.. I just have to push a lot more to keep up.



We chilled on a dock for a bit and did some swimming

We ran into a dude that was diving for his Christmas gifts this year, he found 5 pairs of sunglasses while we were there. I saw armies of mallards bobbing around on the waves. We skated Greenwood skatepark for a minute, the heat put an end to that.. no one else was there. I watched a bunch of people in tandem kayaks.

I don't understand tandem kayaks, the ones with more than one person in them. You HAVE to go where the other person or other people go, you are stuck in the same damn ass boat.

tandem kayak= siamese twin kayak

I would much rather be solo in a kayak, I want to be free. It's crazy, if one person wants to check out that duck over there and the other wants to go check out the island over there.. they can't. Solo kayak is the way to go, if I want to go check out that island and you don't want to, it's fine because we aren't attached at the hip.
I'm sure some people love tandem kayaks, that's cool.. everyone likes there own thing. I just don't get it.

103 degrees in the Seattle area

I saw tons of heat zombies yesterday, people pacing back and forth and walking in mindless circles.

It was fun as hell!

lots of people out there getting their sweat glands pushed to THEE absolute limit.

I walked down to Madison Lake with my buddy Derek. We spotted a hotel that hangs over the water, I'm convinced the hotel is definitely haunted.. at the very least, the spooky underside of the hotel is haunted. We drank a couple of beers to get some medium courage going, then went for a swim. With a mouthful of salted sunflower seeds in my mouth, we made our way to the murky, mysterious waters under the hotel. We got to the brink of the hotel, the waters became dark.. choppy.. and then a very creepy coldness swept in. I was scared and said I didn't know if I could do it, seaweed was lapping at my feet and legs.. most likely it was haunted seaweed from shipwrecks long ago.

We finally barged it, swam underneath, defying possession by the restless spirits that call the waters home. We made it the the other side.. to a secluded tropical beach, it was amazing. I swam to the beach.. eyeballed the extended cement fenced balcony that surrounds the hotel. I climbed the cement wall, I saw a sign "violators will be prosecuted"... I jumped it along with a feeble chain barrier-thing meant to keep people out. I ran down the patio to the deeper water end, climbed the cement fence thing and jumped off into the haunted waters below.

We high-tailed it out of there, back under the hotel's deep, black waters. Back to the other side... FREEDOM!!!
Here is the scorecard

Ghosts- 0
Haunted Hotel- 0
Us- 1

Nice!!

spiders= creeps (the simple math)

The equation says it all, this heat has created gigantic, mutated, possibly radioactive spiders... and they love to sprint. These creeps have been running all over my apartment, all of them have developed very toned calf muscles from all this excess exercise. It's madness. I give up, they can have free reign for awhile.. I don't think I'd stand much of a chance if I took them all on anyway.

It's bullshit though, spiders get whatever they want.
They get 6 more legs than us, 6 more eyes than us.. now, they want our apartments too.
C'mon spiders.. we can co-exist.

increase the peace

I was a little out of it, due to staying up late battling the new, huge spiders that have taken over my apartment.
One week of 80 degree weather blows those cute little arachnids into behemoths.
