A few people have told me to blog about this so i'm gonna go ahead and tell you about the debacle that took place last Tuesday. I went surfing at Venice Pier. Since i don't drive i have to bus it there and carry my wetsuit and towel in my backpack. I got to the pier and changed, putting my wallet, keys, phone, clothes, and vans in my backpack. Like always, i leave it right on the shore where i can see it from the lineup. The waves were pretty shitty but i still had fun surfing. I'm just super happy to be back in the water. So, i get outta the water and my backpack's not there anymore. Only my towel is there. I spend a good hour asking everyone at and around the pier if they've seen "a black jansport backpack that's kinda bulky." Nothing comes of it. I walk over to Breakwater to see if anyone i know is at the skate park but no one is. This is when i realize that i'm in a dilema. I only have 2 numbers memorized, one of my cousin who had a test at school and the other of my friend who lives in Irvine. Then it hits me that my spare key is with my homie, DK. Now, DK doesnt always have his celly on him so i have to get to a computer and facebook him. This wasn't the bad part.The bad part was that i had to walk 2 and a half miles from the beach to my godbrothers at 3 p.m., in my wetsuit, carrying my board. As soon as i passed Lincoln it became kinda embarrassing. I felt like a lost tuna. Like a displaced sardine. I just walked as fast as i could with my head down. It sucked when i had to wait to cross street. The worst was when i had to walk past Venice High. School had just gotten out and there were hundreds of kids staring at me. Literally, hundreds. Your prolly wondering why the hell i didnt i just get on the bus. I tried to, the bus drivers wouldn't let me with my wetsuit on. I finally make it to my godbrothers house, facebooked DK, ate some food, cancelled my debit card, and got a hold placed on my phone service. My aunt gave me a ride home and DK was kind enough to drop my key off. It was a long day, but it makes for a good story. I'd like to thank x 100 DK , Zahra Khala, and Uncle Mark for helping me out.
Today i'm gonna start a series of posts on the music videos that were chosen for this year's L.A. Film Festival. I've seen some of them and they're very unique and interesting.
