My weekend in OBX

Well, I know Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone but I haven’t had the chance to share my exciting five days of fun with all of you until now. So, let’s start from the beginning. It was a sunny Friday morning when my boyfriend and I headed down south for a nice little 8-hour roadtrip to his vacation home in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Peice of cake…until I got behind the wheel to give him a rest and immediately got pulled over in Maryland, costing me a good chunk of change. Thanks for that. Despite my speeding ticket, I was still in a great mood (could have been the sugar-high from the entire king-size bag of Starbursts I ate.) We finally arrived to his house late that night, and knew I was going to love being there as soon as I stepped out of the car and looked up at the stars. I think Incubus does a good job describing it: “The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it…” So, first thing Saturday morning, we went exploring though the woods along the Currituck Sound Nature Walk. Saw some snakes and turtles, no wild boar or polar bears though. Anyway, Sunday was a blur and Monday too. It was our goal to jam-pack our days doing as much shit as we could. We had some lazy hours by the clubhouse pool and on the beach but we also got went rollerblading around the town, played some mini-golf, tennis, and last but NOT least, went wave-running…err wave-jumping. Doing almost 40 mph on choppy water will definitely get you airborne. And to sum it all up, we went out to dinner at a sweet place called Sunset Grille on Rt. 12. The blackened tuna bites and pasta primavera were amazing. Check that place out if your in the area!

Love Dem Philly Cops: take 2

Once again, Philadelphia cops have found themselves in a sticky situation, and they’re preaching their message loud and clear…. again…

EXCESSIVE FORCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

We’ve heard that one before. This case came in reaction to the most recent videotaped beating. So this is what went down: Two cops found a 36 year old man writing graffiti… on the wall of a newly married friend…. last August. Naturally, the man ran. Rather than use their words like we learned in kindergarten, the two cops beat the man upon capturing him and then threw him head first into the cop car. After running a background check and finding out that he was clean, they released the man. His friends, who happened to witness the situation, took him to the hospital. With a broken jaw and missing teeth, the man was never charged for anything. This is because the cops (love em!) made up false records to make it look like they were somewhere else … no where near this man. After the highly publicized beating, this man has come forward to prove to the people how messed up our law enforcement truly is.

So, go ahead. Tell the world about the last time you got beat up by the cops. It seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays.

Why are we celebrating again?

It’s time once again for a quick (because its Friday and I’m tryin to get myself to the shore!) reminder as to why so many of us are turning this day into the unofficial start of a four day weekend. Memorial day! It’s a confusing time. Most of us know it as a three day weekend that happens to coincide with one of the best times of year. Others are a little less excited as they remember the loss of a loved one who died in service for our country. So while we’re off partying, roasting those hot dogs and toasting the unofficial start to the summer, let us not forget that we’re not supposed to be so excited. Ahhh Memorial day: picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, sporting events, memories of loved ones, and, oh yeah, I almost forgot: Memorial day is the time when cops nation wide crack down on that click it or ticket law. So watch out.

That said, I’m out, see ya at the beach!
