Agua y Cactus

A pool and cacti? What more could a girl want? I can think of lots of things really, but this would definitely make for a very nice afternoon.

South Padre, no es un buen padre

Beautiful beaches, warm gulf waters...one of the fantastic vacation destinations of the world? The South Padre tourism bureau should be shut down at the very least....or perhaps given an award for their cheap, false advertising trickery? I mean, everyone is clear on the reputation of this tiny Texas island community ever since MTV Spring Break infiltrated the scene. Just because Girls Gone Wild visited your town does not mean that I want to take my shirt off too...and no, I do not want a shot of Tequila Rose, thank you very much.

Can anyone think of a better way to ruin nature than to throw-up garbage all over the place? If so, please feel free to comment. Maybe a massive oil spill could have added an additional perk to this gorgeous stretch of land where earth, sky and water all meet.

In all fairness, I do not believe that I set my expectations especially high. I only wish that when I visit a beach that is supposed beautiful, it is.

I would have much rather have been swimming and canoeing at Barton Springs.

August

August means the end of summer. It also
means I grow a year older. Picnics
would be ideal if it wasn't so hot. I really
want a porch swing, but I think that having
a porch to swing under is probably in order first.
A hammock would be equally cool, if not more so.
Olympics, BBQs, beer, going to the lake. Going to
the beach too. Time to enjoy time.

interesting.

A Nightmare on Research Blvd.

Dear Readers,

Capit0l City Comedy Club Defensive Driving is an anger management class at best. On the date of Saturday August 2nd, Meredith and I had the horrific pleasure of being verbally, and close to physically assaulted by a so called "class instructor. " If god exists, will someone please thank him/her/it for making sure we arrived 5 minutes late to class? It is hard to say when exactly a recovery of some nature will take place. The extreme mistreatment, which I can confidently say I have never seen, nor will I ever see a likeness of again, was and still is indescribable. Therefore, I have decided to summarize the events in a short poem.

Yellow Teeth

a poem by shannon

yellow teeth, a demonstration of your inability to
care
your mind to me, a mangle is
respect does not acquire
yelling, screaming
slamming doors on feet
please summon the police


thank you.
