freak (beach) scene

emily and i went to cape may with jeff and kathy over the weekend.

we spent the morning on saturday driving down. i hate traffic. can someone please invent a jet pack or some space age shit? it's almost 2009, i mean, seriously. i hate driving. hate. i digress. so we ended up at the beach at about 2:00, which is sort of lame. but we hiked to this cool little beach and took lots of pictures along the way.

but there is something very fascinating about the beaches in cape may. they're filled with french canadians. why? i have no idea. why wouldn't they go to new york beaches? or north jersey at least? weird. but the bigger question is...why are the men still wearing Speedos??? for serious!

so i was taking all sorts of pictures of my cute, pregnant wife when i noticed a speedo. see exhibit a:


unintentional shot


so, of course, i check the photo right away and start laughing at the geezer in the speedo. and, of course, i need to take a shot of him alone. i don't know why, just because. if you know me, you expect nothing less.

intentional shot


doesn't the second shot look like that old age famous shot of sasquatch?? HILARIOUS!



anyway, that was the point of my story. speedos=bad. picture of men in speedos=bad, but so funny. i had to share with the world. sorry, old man, for comparing you to sasquatch. but one might compare what's in the speedo to the lochness monster...

great article

every once in a while, i will come across a great headline or article and share it. today i found one of the best:

(on cnn.com)

Ravers blinded by laser lightshow

Story Highlights
-Laser show at a music festival injures more than 30 people, reports say
-Concertgoers lose up to 80 percent of their vision
-20 people undergoing treatment in Moscow hospitals

ok, so I am not as much laughing at the fact that people were injured. you know this. i am laughing at the fact that people still attend RAVES. IN MOSCOW. do you think they wore lots of fur and denim? were they snorting vodka or just drinking it? did they have glowsticks? are there glowsticks in russia? were they listening to the music that they played at raves here in 1995?

so many questions. and about the lasers...did they use real lasers? are there high grade lasers? aren't you not supposed to look directly at lasers anyway?

i love raving russians.

wa.

can we talk about annoying things?

we spent a nice weekend in CT with my sister and her family. my parents spent the weekend in my house with friends. weird, i know. that is a different story for a different blog. so we get home on sunday and the house is the same as we left it (of course my mom and dad are not going to tear shit up, but you never know. they are on their second childhood.)

about 30 minutes after we get home, the sky opens wide and we get one of the craziest rain storms i've seen in a while. so, i go downstairs to throw some laundry in (i am such a nice husband, doing a lot of housework while the wife is pregs). suddenly i see WATER just flowing in under the baseboard like it's no problem. i'm like, "yo water! get the F out." did it listen, of course not. water doesn't listen.

so i thro a towel down, thinking it is no problem, we will figure something out. 30 minutes later, emily goes down to change the laundry (okay, i am not that great of a husband. shut it.) and basically screams. the water has covered the whole floor in the laundry room. and it has flown in to the closet. such a mess. but we get stuff out calmly and move on. then we go upstairs and there is a huge leak in the baby's room. and then we realize that the windows are leaking. this is a NEW house. this is NOT the first time we have had issues. i get angry.

so i called homeowners, i called the builder, i called the roofer. not much has happened yet. i just feel like my unborn child's room sorta looks like a crackhouse. but it will get fixed. oh, it will.

so i stayed home yesterday for the insurance adjuster to come. he took pictures and stuff. then he told me that the only thing that would be covered is the cost of drywall and paint. haha. thanks! so the builder needs to buck up. i have the number of a good lawyer...

so that is my annoying story. happy week after the 4th of july!
