I just wrote most of my first blog entry about a clip I saw on tv (funniest home videos) where a couple of men are having a picnic on the beach, wearing those European-mens-banana-hammock things, when suddenly....a wave crashes and rolls right up the beach...up to their picnic....and forces them to jump up and probably ruins their picnic.
The entry sucked....truth be told. Especially for a first entry....but I told a friend of mine that I would "plant" the proverbial "seed" with this blog....and see what developed.
In that spirit...I feel like I have to mention that my first thought after I saw the picnic video....was like....what kind of dialogue did these two guys have before choosing that spot to have their picnic?
"Hey Dave, I think I found a good spot over here.."
"Ummm, Kevin....it kind of looks like the water gets up this far....why don't we move back a little?"
"Dave, its called TIDES....why do you always have to worry? The water won't get up here for another few hours....just put the blanket down"
"Ok....but I literally just saw a wave come up almost this far right when we got here.....and I can feel how wet the sand is here"
"Dave, put the blanket down...and lets start this picnic. you always worry and it just puts all this stress around what should be a romantic day"
"Fine...Fine....Fine.....its always what you say anyway. Why would I want an opinion? I'm so lucky that you have ALL the answers Kevin......"
"Don't do this....I knew that once we left your mothers you would be in a bad mood. You always act out after you see her."
"Don't bring my mother into this Kevin....she's under a lot of stress....and you know my father is no help!! This is about you having to always control every little thing I do....I don't even LIKE picnics on the beach. All the sand gets in the food....there's nowhere to wash your hands....but noooo.....we just HAD to have this picnic...."
"Dave, I know you're just acting up right now, so i'm going to ignore what you just said. you LOVE beach picnics.....its how first met..."
"Do you know WHY i was on the beach that day? I was hung over.....thats right....HUNG OVER. the only reason i was even there was because i was feeling too much like shit to go home and eat like a civilized person..."
"Ok....ya know what....we aren't having this conversation. you are just angry, and talking crazy talk. Just set up the blanket where i said....and lets eat and get out of here. you need a shower and a glass of wine!"
I think it was about this point that the wave came.....and ruined their picnic.....
