jiffies & yoctoseconds

I love living on this little sand bar.
Today I walked out to the end of one of our little jetties and watched the surfers catching waves just ten yards away from me.
Man is not the only one that loves to ride the waves. As I watched today, I caught an occasional glimpse of different fish riding the waves with the surfers, then a squadron of pelicans came swooping down riding mere inches above the waves floating on the cushion of air that pushes off the wave just before it breaks looking for the fish I saw just a millisecond before, then they smashed into the water with astonishing force to catch the fish that is riding the wave with the surfer.
It all happened in barely an instance that the flash of a camera might catch, and nobody saw it but me, I had the perfect angle there on the end of the jettie. My mind holds the only image of that moment.
As long as I live, that moment lives in me.

I am not sure what will come of this blog . Possibly nothing good. Who knows? Baring myself with regard to the mundane or significant thoughts racing through my mind could be insightful , illuminating, provocative, or absolutely boring. I am a mad man, this will, no doubt come out from time to time.

I am kind & inconsiderate, giving & selfish, harsh & sensitive, stupid & intelligent, intuitive & clueless. I am full of contradictions. If you try to change me, you will most likely not be happy with the results.

I am who I am.
Deal with it.
I don't mind differing opinions, mindsets, or worldviews, but if you really can't deal with who I am, just shut the fuck up.
