Here's
The Deal
Written by Shannon Braden |
So many people
have been watching the news about the recent earthquakes and volcanoes
and getting worried about the 2012 predictions and the biblical
“end of times”. Most people believe that there are now
more earthquakes and volcanoes than ever before, more and bigger
storms, flooding, etc. This is not true.
The earth goes
through phases just like we do. There are no more than usual. All
it takes is for one large earthquake and every other one, from the
smallest up, is reported on the news

“If
you say ‘Mother’ one more time…,” my mother
called out in a frustrated reaction to my childish demands. I waited…
and waited some more… expecting to learn what my fate might
be, should I call her again. Her words hung on air, and, for a brief
moment I was wise enough to keep my mouth shut.
However, my
need persisted, so I called out plaintively, “Sa……...ra?!”
…And she smiled.

So many promises,
so many yard signs, so many debates and forums and questionnaires
- it’s a veritable wonderland of political hopes and dreams
writ large upon our community. But will it mean anything in the
long run?
We don’t
have a great track record when it comes to voting here on the island.
Only a mere handful of registered voters bothered to show up the
last time around. This time, we’ve lost a big chunk of voters
to Hurricane Ike, we have the largest slate of candidates on record
and we’re very likely to thoroughly screw ourselves over.

Sometimes
you hear something so incredibly stupid, so moronic, that you can't
believe someone actually said something so crazy. It makes you stop
and say, what the hell did he just say? You have to wonder if this
person is serious. Do they really have a grip on reality, because
if they did they would not make such idiotic statements. Just like
kids, sometimes adults say the darndest things, only not as cute or
innocent.

“I have
been lied to by many people in my life so why the hell wouldn’t
I believe that a no talent dope-tard would have broken into my heavenly
abode and exchanged my mirrors for funhouse mirrors. The crazy ones
that take one’s statue-esque form and transform it into a
short dumpy potbellied ass-clown. Not so farfetched I foolishly
believed.
When you work
in the biz, you get a quick education in underhandedness. Lesser
performers will steal, cheat, lie, bite you, trip you up, and sleep
with whomever just to get in the biz.

It was Texas
versus the East Coast. Some of Texas’ best surfing talent
packed their boards, jumped on planes, drove 16 hours and wound
up in the small surf town of New Smyrna Beach, Florida March 26
– 28.
Texas
surfers have always had a little chip on their shoulder for not
getting as much recognition for our surfing skills and accomplishments
as our fellow surfers from the East or West coast.
