Chillin Like a Villain

Some more ranting from a bored Nick.

overcast 15 °C

Just got done with a surf at the bay. As you can see I have suffered my first wound of possibly many of this trip. J-bay breaks over shallow reef and this is the result of falling over shallow reef ha-ha and South Africa is not a place you want to be bleeding in the ocean, might have pushed it a little though because the waves were real fun. So I guess my mommy skills will have to come out to doctor myself up. The surf was fun and it was a nice day. A little over cast and about 60 degrees. Swell projected for tomorrow is 8-10ft but we will see if that happens. I also posted a pick of the view I have from where I am sitting right now. That is the Indian ocean with sand dunes in the background where you can go sand boarding (snowboarding down dunes) pretty sleepy day as rain is expected might make myself a sandwich and watch a movie. Hope all is well. Nick

p.s. Kate you should see the wildlife here its crazy there is lions and rhinos and the odd baboon running down the streets every now and then like a dog or something. You would love it ha-ha oh and uncle ken I ate the worst pretzel in Germany especially compared to the elephant steaks they have here. Which reminds me there is talk of the hostel taking us on a poaching expedition soon, really get in touch with the wild animals ha-ha

Mullet, made my day! Those cuts need to be made to bleed by aggrivating the wound then hydrogen peroxide liberlly poured over then the ointment. Marine cuts get infected and will make your penis useless, not true but I'm using my dad manipulation to get your attention! Not kidding about the cut work it till it bleeds then clean since your bored clean it at least three times before bed. I've sent the site to a few more people so have fun with the site, we need these blogs to fill up our hearts and lessen our concerns thanks. How fast is the wave? Are you getting the hang of freedom and intense responsibility? Are you getting to know Africanners? Local food? Local slang? The uncles thought I should be your sunami warning system but I am worried you will missread it to mean punami and go rushing t othe shore t see what kind of punami is on the beach. All is well here miss you more not less than when you left. Peace out Pops

yeah yeah, surfing, BLAH BLAH BLAH. When do we get an update on that "tsunami" your dad was talking about? Oh yeah, one more thing, you have a great opportunity here to spread the game of "BULLMOOSE" all over god's creation. Just take it easy on the beginning foreigners, never know how many of them are gonna have the Art Hall reaction. haha, love ya bro, later.

Nick - You have officially become my hero. You already have surfing wounds in South Africa. I will never be able to say anything that sweet in my life. Let's just make sure those wounds are only from coral and not Great Whites. You're dad is right... We wanna hear some stories about local South Africans. What are the people like over there? When you get bored again you should just cruise into town and check out all of the local hotspots. Just try to avoid the local babboons and Lions. I am jealous of you and will continue to be every day of my life for the next 9 months and 3 weeks. Love you man! Party Hard!
