Assault of the Amie

WooHoo! My little sista is comin' into town. Beware New Yorkers...the category five cyclone that is AMIE will be landing tomorrow afternoon approximately 3PM (is LaGuardia Airport cooperates). Looking forward to it...should be good good times! Got some nice meals planned (hittin' up Craft on Saturday night and this place Amie found, Jane for brunch on Sunday). Gonna try to sneak in a wee bit of surfin' Saturday morning (I'm dying to try this shorter board the nice fellas at NYPD - that's New York Pipe Dreams, a local surf/skate shop right here in Manhattan, had recommended).

Oh, you'd like to SEE the potential board of my dreams. That would be the BLUE surfboard, 7'2 mini-longboard. Actually, I'm debating between the mini-longboard and the funboard (this is probably all gibberish to you). Well...one is just as it said, a longboard performance in a shorter physical size. The other (the funboard) is a bit more "performancy" (wow, good thing I'm a COPYWRITER...check out that wordsmith'age) with more rocker (that's the curve of the board) and a pin tail (the end of the board comes to a point, where as the mini-long board has a squash tail - the tail comes to more of a horizontal flat). So what you say? Well, it affect speed and your ability to ride bigger waves (the pin tail, "hangs in" a bit better). But hey...I'm just a kook (that's a newbie surfer, actually a RETARDED newbie surfer, so hopefully I'm not) pretending to know what i'm talking about.

Anyway, life is good...sorry not a ton of posts this week. Was pretty cranky so didn't want to infect the entire interweb with my pissiness.

Hope your week has been fab-u-lous. Cruisin' into the weekend. Will try to take some fun pics during Amie'fest 9000.

Keep it real ya'll and chat more later.
