A Reader's Interesting Thoughts...
I got this email from a reader a few weeks ago. I read it a few times, and every time I do, it has me rolling. With the reader's permission, I decided to post it. Hope you get a kick out of as much as I did. Caution, more entertaining while reading after an edible...
"After
taking a slow walking tour of the Santa Cruz's Cowell's and Steamer Lane
cliffs and analyzing the two breaks while high on some pot brownies, I
concluded in my make believe world that Cowells and Steamer Lane were
two factioning villages next to each other. Cowells is the egalitarian
intergenerational utopia where everyone shares the long waves together
(fathers teaching their daughters while on tandem) while the sun is
shining bright and the conditions are clean and everyone is smiling and
interacting positively with new found stoke for surfing while up the
hill is the rugged and wild place called "Steamer" where the solo
individualist boys and men hunt for big untamed waves in the absence of
family and kinship (today only a few guys out and head high middle
peak), each to his own, fighting the currents and weather. Yeah, I let my
imagination run wild for a few hours. They both were very appealing to
me in those moments."
The reader then sent me second email a couple days later:
"
Apparently pot-brownie dude didn't see any of these bad parents out at the Cowells village: http://surfergrrrl.blogspot.com/2010/05/close-encounters-cowells.html
ReplyDeleteNice entry, sorry you experienced some bad parenting/ role modeling out there. They should eat some brownies and get some perspective.
