where have i been??

SO i have not totally abandoned the blog and my four followers....i just really hadnt felt too inspired the last few weeks and really had no idea what to write. but too many funny things happened this last week so its back to the blog:) plus, inspired by jon's tutorial on the secrets to success, i have decided that i am only going to put positive energy out, and am going to visualize and believe fully in what i want, and it will happen. so im going to use the blog as my way of putting all the good things out there into the universe, so nothing negative will be allowed on here!!!!

speaking of visualization-- yeseterday jon and i finally made out way to kuta beach and had a surf lesson with our friend rizal! yes- amongst the trash ( seriously so bad sometimes you were stepping fully on a sandy bottm covered in trash!! the bags would get stuck to you and i pulled several unidentified objects out of my hair and bathing suit!! but we braved it anyways ( and the rain that threatened to scare us out of the water!) but no- we stayed in for two hours and both were like pros by the end:) haha well obviously not- but we were both standing up and getting it and it was so much fun! very exhilerating....veeeerrry sore today though:) but so worth it!! we are going to go again tomorrow i think- its about 3 dollars to rent a board for an hour so i think its worth it- gotta get good! the best part was that we did the lesson from about 4 30 to 6 30 so we were out in the water for the first part of the sunset and it was really incredible!

funny story: the other night after a late one, I decided to take a motor bike taxi home from kuta- basically these guys in orange vests will drive you anywhere for like a dollar. so i took one home and the guy is chatting to me all the way blah blah.... we are almost back to my house and im thinking of my bed and how comfy its going to be and then all of a sudden THWAAP!!!!!! a flipping bird has just slammed into my mouth!! im not kidding- i saw it coming and there was no where to go- it bashed me in the mouth, while we were going like thirty km/hr!!!!!! so then the guy is laughing and im screaming and almost crying and the whole way he is like no its good luck its good luck....i told him that this was the second time this had happened to me and i really didnt think there was anything good about it....yes, i think most of you know my story abouit the bird hitting me in the face on my bike in california so yeah. you think they get out of your way. im here as living proof that they dont!!!!! anyway i had a fat lip from it that thank god didnt last overnight and i actually had forgotten it happened until about 6 pm that night driving by the spot where it did and all of a sudden it came back to me and i was laughing so hard on my bike! ok enough for now! im uploading pics and will write more stuff soon....
