I was just sitting here typing at the computer when I heard "Ahh! Fuck! Help! Ahh!" from the shower. I ran into the bathroom to see my brother pushed up against the shower wall opposite the shower head. "It's too hot! I can't reach the knobs because they're past the water! Turn it down!" I calmly walked over, adjusted the knobs and walked out. My brother has come to rely on me far too much.

So on this beautiful day I decided, "Why spend it indoors? I'll go to the beach." So I head to beach, and when I get there it's practically deserted, which makes sense, being a Wednesday and all. And I'm laying there when I hear, "Excuse me?" Well I look up and two very beautiful women are standing there. Instantly in my head, the letter begins to write itself. "Dear Penthouse, I'm not the kind of guy this normally happens to..." "Yes?" I say. "We're handing out free samples of new VCoke, would you like to try some?" Forget Penthouse. "Um...yeah, sure." "Do you usually drink Coke?" "No." Following the two women were a guy with a camera, a guy with a notepad, a guy with a video camera, and a girl with a microphone. This was clearly an actual real test thing. They proceeded to pour me a glass of new VCoke (the V stands for Vanilla), and I proceeded to voice my astonishment at how it had a wonderful vanilla taste, and really didn't taste like other old bland sodas. I then asked, "Is there anything else you want me to say?" They laughed, as if that was crazy, and then said, 'thank you' and left me with my new VCoke. I left the unfinished glass in the sand and went back to reading my Cosmo. VCoke! Ha!

...does my face look really long in that picture?

Is there anything more beautiful that summer in the city? Well...okay, yes, there probably is. BUT...is there anything more beautiful than summer in the city AND has a song written about it by Joe Cocker? I think not. Unless of course you view being, "All right" as a supremely beautiful thing.

In other news, I must start writing more. My well of ideas has dried up, and unless I get pumping at it again I fear I'll never be able to write another sentence as long as I live!! ...not really. But I do need to write more.

All right, well it's official...or at least as official as someone like me can make it: I am officially back from my hiatus. Yes, I took a blog hiatus. But now I'm back...from outter space...I just walked in to find you there with that...nevermind, I won't continue. Anyway, the site has a new look, new blogs will be shipped out daily, so sit back, relax, and bask in the blog.
