The Ugly Naked Guy

Well, really thats the name of the taco I ordered at Moes Southwest Grill, but after my visit to Hollywood Beach in South Florida, I saw what other almost-naked guys were sporting at the beach.

It has been almost a week since the last update of this blog. Alot has transpired since then. Last Friday was one of my busiest days at the office. I had about 3 projects to finish in a timely manner. I definitely enjoyed the looming deadlines that I met. I had to work on graphics for a contest the magazine and Charlotte Martin’s people are doing, then I had to work on this flash element that flips the pages on the preview, and the last thing I had to do was begin working on layouts for the next issue. The contest graphics took all day, but it was finished. The flash element took about 3 hours as well. It was all worth it in the end because right after work I dorove down to Ft.Lauderdale to visit my father’s side of the family. My aunt and uncle live in Plantation so I went and spent the weekend with them. My cousin, who is 16 days younger than me, and I just hung out most of the weekend. Saturday I went to the Braves @ Marlins Game. Braves won by 1 run, but Marlins had a definite comeback in the 9th inning scoring about 4 runs, two of those were homeruns. After the game there was a concert. Does Joan Jett and the Blackhearts ring any bells for anyone? Because it didn’t for me. Apparently Joan Jett, this 50-year old scantily clad NYC Rockstar and her boyband rocked out. She sang “Don’t give a darn about my reputation” and then the only song that everyone knew “I love rock n roll”….She sang a bunch of other songs that I wouldn’t know because they came out on her newest album. When she announced that they had a new album I laughed.

Sunday was another experience altogether. I went to church with my aunt and cousin. Let’s just say my aunt has a knack for finding weird churches. It was a house church. I can’t describe it anymore, but it was not a pleasant experience for me. Oh and then after church, they took me to the Jai-Alai. Just to clarify, my family was gambling on the Jai-ALai games sadly I did not. Monday, was the beach day! It was absolutely perfect out. The beach was not crowded at all, the water was smooth, clear, and warm, and the sun was out. I got slightly tan while my cousin turned out to be a lobster. It was nice to sit at the beach and swim in the ocean. I think it was the one time that I was not leary about being in the ocean, the water so beautiful and warm.

Other than the weekend in Ft.Lauderdale, and the drive back to Orlando..Nothing new has really been happening. I go back to work tomorrow, but today I get to play. The interns are having a little 4th of July Celebration at the guy’s apartment, while I do wish I was in missouri. James river assembly is having their annual I love America celebration! Leeland is performing and I totally wish I was there. I think I might see Universal or Disney’s Fireworks today though. Who knows really…then I guess theres something really cool going on with the Design interns at one of the staffers abodes. 7.7.07 is supposed to be the happening date. Happy 7.4.07 america!
