Keep it grass roots

Holy crap, I just heard a Cantonese version of Name that tune on KR0Q!! Fucking hilarious!!!! AND!! All the contestants got them right!!! AHHAHAAHHAA!!!

So, I've started dating a friend of a friend.. she's pretty cool.. I guess... we've gone out three times and all great times.. note to self... don't drink too much liquid courage!!! HAHAHAHA!! Oh, the pictures!!! And Chuck and L@rry is hilarious!! A joke in every scene.

Also, last week was rest week... minimal hours of training and a chance to let my body recover.. probably the reason why I had the dates during the week and drinks... Friday nite, I went out to H00ters with the date and friends.. had too many drinks and ended up in bed at 4am... 6:30 and I'm up, throw on the costume, picked up the pirate and headed down to the Doo Dah... DAMN!! there were a lot of people.. the pirate and I were #56 on the picture board.. with the huge crowd, I'm surprised nobody got hurt... I was kind of scared to paddle back out with all those people coming at me... OH THE HORRIBLE MEMORIES!!! (I've been skegged in the head when some chick decided to run me over when 4 people were already on the wave) Overall good times!! I tried someone else's board... it was really thin and thick.. a lot different from the Buffet board... I won a towel (that I gave to pirate) and dvd.. sweet... then they were throwing out towels and pirate caught one so we both have one!! While waiting for the board to be raffled off, I had a chance to check it out... ehhh... I'm sure they put a lot of work into it, but I'd for sure pass on it.. looked like something from a swapmeet.. oh well... Overall a great time but I don't think I'll be doing it next year... WAY TOO MANY SPONSORS!!! Plus I read CONS and he scored some waves further south.. Oh well..

Sunday, I had to run 6 miles pretty hard.. just to see what speed I'm at... I was surprised to see a 8:30min/mile average on my watch and was able to keep it up for 3 miles.. then my foot started to hurt and mile 4 I just stopped from the pain... sucks that I didn't finish.. I still had the lungs for it but I'm stoked to go faster than 10min/mile... On a side note, there was a young couple in an suv.. the bf in the passenger side told his gf to stop cause I was coming pretty close... Not once did she look over and forgetting about stopping... Fuck it... I sprayed their car with my water bottle!! The bf gets really mad (I think I got him wet cause his window was wide open) and he yelled, of all things, "Fuck you bitch!! Don't run here!!" Umm yeah..... great threat.. dumb shit.. then I got all paranoid that they would come back and I was already tired.. they didn't... I hope they cleaned off drink I had or else it's sticky city!!

And last night, Tuesday, on my run, I saw a lady walking next to her two girls (on bikes) without helmets.. I caught up to her and told her she needs to put helmets on her kids.. what does she say. "I know I should, but I couldn't find the helmets in the van.." WTF!! That is the lamest excuse.. EVER!! You want to put your kids in danger because you forgot to pack their helmets!! Dumb bitch... you're at the park!! let them play on the playground!! FUCK!!! there are some stupid people in my city!!!

Sorry for the vent session.. I need to get laid or get some good surf!!

Surf Saturday and mini tri on Sunday... oh yeah and take the buffet board to the "doctor." LATER!!

Does your dog hump your leg?

"Is your dog in heat and humping anything it can wrap its horny little legs around? Are you constantly having to pry your promiscuous pooch off the legs of guests, parents and members of your church? Protect your leg from a hump attack by getting Scruffy a Hotdoll. Yes, it's a sex doll for dogs. It's shaped like a dog and it'll allow your tension-filled pet to go to town as much as his little heart desires, humping away until he passes out in exhaustion, leaving a wispy coil of friction-singed dog-fur smoke wafting into the air."

Side note

I really need to reread my posts after I post them.. I write while I'm at work and often get interrupted.. the last post took me 3 days!!!

And, WTF is going with some of the women surfblogger community.. how are you guys single? you seem like great people to talk to (according to your blogs).. and!! I've seen some of your pics.. seriously...

Hi, Aquatech..

Friday, I headed down to Irvine after work and saw an accident happen 2 cars away from me.. lady rear-ended some dude... then I made a quick stop to visit my buddy in the nursing home. Man, he's gotten so much better!! I remember when he had all these tubes in him and now he's trying to walk, is feeding himself and his speech has gotten a lot better. So good to see. Maybe at the end of the year, he'll be outta there.

Finished my drive down to Irvine, stopped by Sp0rts Auth0rity and picked up some goggles cause I forgot mine at home, then some Jack in the Crack and then to the best bud's apt. I laced up my shoes with some bungee type laces-Yankz! while I ate and made sure everything was ok... couldn't fall asleep quickly and when I did, the best bud's bf came in around 2... it's cool, they were somewhat quiet but I had just fallen asleep and thought they were going to stay up and drink some more but they didn't.. I got a little annoyed but it's probably cause I think the best bud's bf is a douche.. ehh what are you gonna do.. woke up at 5:30, took a shower and headed out..

Drive out there was pretty easy.. I'll post a race report at the bottom. I finished 9 minutes over my goal, got beat by a 76yr old by 6 minutes and got smoked by a girl in the last 100 ft... great race!!

After that, I headed back to the best friend's place and got some In n 0ut... a 3x3, fries and a vanilla milkshake to be exact.. mmmm!!! There was this one guy that ordered 50 burgers and 25 fries!!! DAMN!!! I've never seen anyone order that much while I was in line.. he needed one of those milk trays to carry them out.. I wonder if he got to keep the tray? After that, I could not get up from the couch!! Not because I was sore but because I watched 3 episodes of M@n vs. Wild... That show is rad!!! Hit up a friend's bbq before I went home and called it an early night...

Sunday, I wake up at 645 to someone yelling.. I'm thinking, "Damn, who the hell is yelling at this time?" Then I hear my dad storm out of his bedroom yelling, "Motherfuckers.." once I hear that, I instantly think that he's gonna talk to the person yelling.. then I hear the rest, "Motherfuckers won't even wake up!!" apparently a pipe busted in his bathroom and he was yelling for us so we could turn off the water while he was catching the water... this really pissed me off and lit a fire under my ass to really get the fuck out... Who calls their sons "motherfuckers?" I hope I never grow up to be like him...

After that fiasco, I packed up the buffet board and headed out. Super small surf and a little bit of a chill... I knew I was tired and something didn't feel right but I stayed in anyway.. there was a guy on a 10'6 dewey performer.. DAMN!! I didn't know they came that big.. he was really diggin my board and I wanted to try his.. I was too afraid of him going king kong on mine so I decided not to trade.. after an hour and a half of sole slappers, a set wave came up so I paddled like hell for it.. so did everyone else... I whipped around and thought I was in the best spot... right before I popped up, someone calls me off.. this guy is engulfed in white water... I give him the "you gotta be kidding me look" and pull off.. It was really hard to pull up and when I did, my board was sticking over the wave.. what does this jackass do? He decides to try and smack the lip, throw some spray on me or scare me... fucker spears my board... thanks for that! he could have just gone down the line and still worked the wave.. DAMMIT!!! Guess I'll be visiting aquatech.. I'll surf the buffet board at the doo dah but with some duct tape.. got out after a few more waves...

Overall, Sunday probably wasn't the best time to surf... my arms were dead, I got called motherfucker by my dad and the buffet board got speared... I should have just gone on my bike ride...

Finalized my costume for Saturday.. hope I don't drown!!!

Race Report:
Thursday night, I got about 3-4 hours of sleep so Friday, all I wanted to do was go to the best bud's place and sleep.. got there about 8, prepared my gear, ate dinner and watched some tv... asleep.. or trying to around 10.. finally fall asleep around 12 and then get woken up by the douche and his friends at 2... i think they left 45min-1hr later.. few hours of sleep, get up, shower and I'm out.. clifbar, chocolate milk and sports drink on the way.. damn, we have to park in a dirt lot.. carry my bike about 100yrds and walk to the bike transition.. damn, I should have just rode my bike there.. I was dripping sweat by the time I got there.. get body marked, pick up my shirt, chip and cap then head over to my wave rack... had to rack with the chicks cause my wave rack was full.. oh well.. head down to the swim start, chat it up with some racers, the national anthem and then the start.. I was in wave 6 and started 25 or 30 min after the first wave.. I was racing in the fat guy division and thought it would be cool to pass some people.. man I like racing with the old guys.. they're funny.. they asked if we could just swim to the first buoy.. then the chants started.. some guy yelled, "Let's go old guys!!" then I yelled, "Let's go fat guys!!" then another guy yelled, "Let's go old and fat guys!!!" and finally one guy said, "Damn, we have the women behind us!! I really like the idea of all these women chasing me but only chasing, not passing!!" Hilarious.. *air horn* and we're off!! I've never experienced the carnage of a mass start.. guys were swimming over me, hitting my feet, head and arms.. I had to push a guy to the side cause he swan at an angle in front of me.. after the first buoy, I had some open space and settled in.. near the last buoy (which meant 300 or so meters) I see white caps.. SWEET!! oh wait, those are blue caps!!! WOMEN!! DAMMIT!! Oh well.. get to shore, run half on the beach and the other on pavement to the transition.. a total of 400yrds or so.. I'M SO TIRED!! Shot of gel washed down with sports drink, and I'm off.. bike was really fun.. I got scolded for staying on the left going over the bridge "Get over to the right!!" Oops!! Then again, the bridge was closed to traffic so he could have gone to the other lane.. ehh!! I took turns passing people and then getting passed by them.. a little after the second half of the bike, I could feel myself slowing down... damn I knew I should have brought the gels.. then the 76 yr old guy passed me.. I told him he was my idol while I was trying to keep up with him then he disappeared.. get into the transition and damn it's hot!! I run to the rack, shot of gel and off and running... HOT!! I thought I was going to explode!! I backed it down a bit and threw water on me at every aid station... I did get to pass a few guys on the run but I knew I was running slow cause I was comfortable.. there were a lot of hot women!!! old and young.. squish.. squish.. squish!!! damn, shoes are soaking wet!! please no blisters!!! turned the corner after the 2nd loop and almost done... Sweet!! nobody around me.. then WTF!! a girl blows by me and the marines cheering us on saw the expression on my face and laughed.. ahh well!! there are a lot of other people that are faster than me...
Swim time: 37min- about right with that long run
Bike: 1:27- good enough for me considering the nutrition problem
Run- 1:06-dammit!! I knew I was running slow.. 1.5min slower than my race pace..
Finish 3:09- 9min over my goal.. but breaking 3hrs is doable

All things considered, a great race and great training session!! I figured out my nutrition (BRING SOME!!) The marines were great and I tried to thank everyone of them... and post food was water and oranges.. I swear they were the sweetest I've ever had.. I ate 9 or 10 wedges... after that, I changed and stood in line for a massage.. I really think this helped me recover... towards the end of it, it was time to close up shop.. OOPS!! My bike was still racked.. good thing I wasn't the only one out there..AHHAHAHA.. got back to the friends place, took a nap and watched 3 episodes of M@n vs Wild.. great show!! Definitely will do this next year and back down the training the week before... Woo hoo!! 9 more weeks until the Big K@huna!!!!

Serendipity!!

I was cruising through Patch's blog looking at his art work and what do I find???? He's one of the founders of the highly exciting DOO DAH SURF CONTEST. That's so rad!!

Thanks, Patch!

This would be a rad costume!! I'm obsessed with Ostriches!!

Yogurt was a bad idea

WTF!!! Now my background isn't working??!?!?!! I'll get to this soon... time for the Beancountingsurfer to recap the past few days..

Friday, I took a vacation day so I could take my NZ cousins to Magic Mtn... and I have no idea what you're talking about, Surftwin.. Swedes and Magic Mtn? Huh? Know any single female swedes in the Southern California area? I love that accent.. any way.. back to the story... I surfed the bu for about 2 hours and caught 3 or 4 rides on the fish.. one really long one... I was trying to place myself in the lineup.. trying to figure out who could catch waves and where the sections were barely makeable... I'm really tentative at this spot cause of all the people that just drop in on you... pretty fun sesh though.. the crowd was really mellow.. I think they all knew each other.. that's really cool.. I wanna grow old and surf with my buddies.. then again, I need to find some surf buddies... Got home, showered, picked up the kids and headed out... Damn it was HOT!! I couldn't stop sweating!! The sesh probably didn't help much in that dept either but oh well.. got to go on my favorite rides and eat funnel cake... and a big Fuck You goes out to Taco Bell in Valencia.. I forgot what street it was on.. but it took more than 15 mins to have our orders done... by that time I was pissed and asked for our money back.. the dumb shit at the register and "look down at the floor the whole time" manager offered excuse after excuse.. an apology would have fixed everything... FUCK YOU TACO BELL!! I wasn't going to call the regional office but I think I will now.. bastards..

Next morning wasn't my day.. first, I woke up late to surf, then I dropped my water bottle I use for rinsing and broke it, then I had gas from the yogurt I had earlier (farting while surfing is funny), then I got mad at myself for bringing the buffet (I should have taken a smaller board), then I got madder for not bringing the full suit (I was kinda cold), then I got madder for some guy getting in my way on a set wave.. I pulled up and he told me he didn't move cause he didn't think the wave caught me.. WTF!! I'm on the buffet board motherf-er!! then I got madder cause my 13 yr old cousin has a boy that wants to or is her boyfriend.. found this out at her bday party... then I got madder that I didn't stay to finish the whole movie.. my brother told me she ended up wearing his jacket... then I got madder cause something hit the hood of my car... probably from the football that was being tossed around at the bday party.. Ugh!!! That was just Saturday!!!

Sunday, slept in, had lunch with the mom, bro's and bro's gf, then ran 8 miles... I found out that I need more than 4 hours to recover from eating a lot of bbq..burping it up for 90mins is no fun.. yeah I run slow... SO!!!! the route had 2 long hills!!!

Then Monday's workout sesh pissed me off.. I encountered family fun day at the pool.. motherf-ers just walking around with no organization.. after 2 minutes of waiting, I asked them to stay to one side of the lane.. I also added my coworker on a certain space site and I asked about some of her friends.. why in the world does she gotta say.. oh yeah, I talked to my friend and she's single... umm yeah thanks for that... oh well....

And today, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like the smell of my deodorant.. smelled good in the store.. DAMMIT!! and now my background isn't working for my blog!! WTF!!! I gotta fix that...

Finally!!! My costume for the Doo Dah Surf might not happen.. it was such a great idea.. making it from scratch has is becoming difficult and I just don't want to spend that much money for a one time use costume.. but I've come up with a few ideas...

So don't forget.. DOO DAH SURF 7/21/07!!!!

Doing my first olympic tri of the season this weekend.. looking to break 3hours... 30 mins off last year's (different course).. wish me luck!!!

Empty

It's been a busy week!!! Last Saturday, I surfed for 2.5 hrs in shin high waves... really good choice taking out the buffet board.. I did manage to snag 2 out of 3 set waves so that was cool... no waves to really talk about.. just mind-clearing effortless surf... well sort of effort less... took a nap then hit the road for a mini reverse tri... 3 mile run, 18 mile bike and 30 min swim... run and bike went great... I felt really fast and comfortable.. the swim, on the other hand was bad... I think I was too tired from the surf sesh.. only swam for 15 min and did about 500m then I just cut it short and headed home... after a quick nap, I hung out with the relatives from NZ (3 boys 13, 10 and 6)..

Sunday, woke up and took my cousins and the NZ to the beach for some surf... only the 13 and 10 yr olds from NZ surfed... basically wind swell so the waves just kept coming near shore... they both managed to stand up and ride a couple waves in.. pretty impressive... one of them stood up on their first try.. then again, I pushed them in... after that, hit the valley for my nephew's baptism.. damn it was hot!! and it didn't help that I was surfing earlier... SWEAT CITY!!! I left after an hour..

Tuesday night, I saw Tr@nsformers!!! Soooooooooooooo good!! I loved it!!! It held up to the hype... Wednesday, I helped my mom move into her new place... in 95 degree weather.. good thing her place is on the second floor instead of the third... I convinced her to change floors because the previous one was way in the back and the path had poor light.. and this is what I think has gotten my stomach in knots.. I've had the shits for the past week and half... yes, I still live at home but it was only to play referee.. now that mom is moved out.. I kinda miss having a full house no matter how dysfunctional it is.. I don't know how to explain it.. kinda like something is missing.. ugh this sucks.. hold me... I'm looking for a new place, something closer to work and the beach.. now I can really start concentrating on myself... I just need to get out of this funk...

I'm off tomorrow, Friday.. gonna take the kids to Magic Mtn.. I've read about the swell so maybe I'll do some dawn patrol (maybe T0panga or the bu... then old faithful.. which ever one is better) and get back before10.. oh man.. another long day of fun!!!
