When, if not now?

Cox Bay was super crowded yesterday. I had to park at the old parking lot (which I'm now starting to like again, after having had to park there for two nights in a row now... so I guess I could say that Cox Bay was super crowded today, too... but I guess seeing as I got there late, it wasn't excruciatingly bad)...

Yes... so I got to Cox Bay really late today, and wasn't in the water till 9PM... I still got quite a few good rides, so it was all good. I am, however, super tired. I could say that work is very low in entertainment value... but a more accurate way of interpreting the situation is that I am now having trouble seeing the humour in what a friend has termed "an inverted insanity sandwich"... actually... it's more of an insanity vise, if you could imagine such a contraption... think medieval torture chambers, if that helps. In any case, I am stuck in it... however, people do adapt, and I suspect that if this trend continues, I will naturally start producing some extremely low pH fluid as a coping mechanism, which will have the effect of wearing away or at least in some way attacking the advancing insanity... but let's get back to more important matters...

SO I was on this wave... which was peeling left and was one of those super long rides... when I was about 3/4 of the way on my riding of this wave, GIWTHAMO (heretofore to be rechristened SAIS(wsp)) paddles for it and comes right... woh. Dude. I'm not done with my ride. I keep going, and he keeps going, I go down and he goes up, and we miss each other by no more than two feet... he paddles away immediately and doesn't even acknowledge me. This didn't seem to be one of those friendly encounters... it had an air of F-you about it. WTF? When I think about it now, I don't know what made me believe that he wouldn't have run right into me... sure he knows what he's doing... but what if he's just being nasty and happened to be on a board he didn't much like anyway? What if he's just that agressive? Blargh... whatever. Shortboarders.

Anyway... I'm super tired and must sleep. (Some Ftard called and woke me up in the middle of my nap to ask me the dumbest question of the week.)... overworked... but when, if not now, as Cs used to say.
