day 33 my day at the beach

one of my best days ever on this trip for no other reason than being at the beach. i've been to so many beaches in my life. so many oceans. from new zealand, to hawaii, atlantic, pacific, brazil, etc.

but the weather today at pompano, perfect. a lil humid, a lil breezy, sunny, warm (not hot) sand, warm clean water.

a mix of high school people on break, college people, old people, family, a way a beach should be. i am always happy in shirtless weather.

i first arrived at night.

i started at the sky for a while. watching the clouds move. seemed so close to the earth. for a brief moment, the clouds spread thin enough for me to see the sun, but was heavy enough that you could actually see the sun with the naked eye. i think it might have been the first time they sky aligned like that for me to have a nice view of the sun. it looked like a small white ball in the sky. nothing fancy about it. but the clouds moved and it got intense and became a blur again.

then the winds picked up and i wondered, where does the wind come from? its like a thought kids would ask themselves. i know it has to do with the heat of the sun and air pressures and what not but... you take a ball with oxygen and put a ball of fire near it and you get wind?? then the wind causes the waves? i dunno amazing thoughts to have when you got nothing better to think about it. its a beach day, no talking just staring at the sky and day dreaming. looking at the kids play and the old people tan...

my perspectives change. seems like there's a lot of intangibles in the world. not everything can be explained. i dunno if any scientific explanation of why this day is so perfect will every suffice. then the clouds began and it rained like a tropical storm. amazing. warm rain.

yet it still won't wash the splattered bugs from my windshield. seems like there's something to this world of ours. can't quite put my finger on it yet. feels like i'm being shown something. or maybe i was always shown these amazing little natural wonders but instead chose to look at the bikinis at the beach. i dunno haha. i was almost going to take a pic with some girls but then thought, that would ruin the point i am making on this review. and my point is, do i even have one? haha life's just a transition it feels like. and why do we lose our child like wonderment and explanations of things? we get too adult and too modern and scientific and its why new discoveries have slowed down since the industrial revolution and the renaissance. well we make discoveries on a micro level, not big macro levels. maybe i need to take my asshole glasses off and see with eyes unclouded, like a kid again.

you put any human being, leave him alone for long enough, and explain nothing to him, and he will at some point or another come up with some fantastic explanations for everything, and it will always come back to one source. i was thinking about that a lot... whatever you think or believe, you put yourself in a vacuum long enough and we all draw the same conclusions...

i can't wrap my head around it. i think i need to go fight some people at american top team again, maybe it will all come to me when i get bonked in the head.
