Hello. Today I went to the beach, where there were topless women and scantily clad men, some in thongs. It was cool. I did not know that New York City had a "Euro" feel beach to offer, but apparently yes. That is cool. I went with my friend Javier and his friend Oscar. I swam and reintroduced myself to the ocean. The last time I had swum in it was in Puerto Rico for surf. I listened to music on the sand when I was not in the water. I have developed new taste buds for my ears. I can deconstruct sounds that I like now. For example, old New York disco/dance/funk that I like has electronic sounds like hi hats and bass drums that merge with organic sounds like congas and cow bells. That is just an example. I hope you like. I do.

Yesterday we saved 5 people at the beach. There was a super strong undercurrent. They were going to drown without us. We had two surf boards and a boogie board. And I was scared.

There is a misconception about a large percentage of surfers. That they are all mellow, humble, and sharing. But don´t be fooled, many surfers can be rich, patriarchal brutes just like any other family, government, or relgious-oriented soldiers. Some fight for waves and even pollute nature. All while living in luxury and flaunting their disposable personalities. We don´t admire or obey any of those qualities!
