Spring BREAK 2009 BABY!

Sandrock, AL

Please laugh a little at the title. It's meant to be sarcasm or a joke or a sarcastic joke. For some cliched reason, a visualization of a middle-aged woman with an airbrushed cut off crop top and bleached blonde hair doused in hairspray comes to mind.
My friends and I were flipping through the options we have for the week break the school so generously and diligently supplies us with every year. We get a recess from class, assignments, and the regularity of our scholarly lives. 

So do it! Resuscitate yourself.  

Majority of us rockin' kiddos take to the beach, mountains, and/or a place with a bit of distance from our beloved Elephant Town,which says a lot about our daily lives.  

We, as humans, like the unusual. It's attractive. We stare at something different, whether it's an elaborate Ringling Bros. spectacle or a smaller version of craziness we so often have in our lives. We like to be shaken up just like we mix up some milk or orange juice before taking a crisp gulp right out of the waxed paper carton (perks and expected behavior of a college student).

Why does it have to be the normal mixer dealio?

May I encourage you to do something that enhances the knowledge of yourself and tests your natural, authentic abilities in the world? Opt out of allowing the toxic, alcoholic drinks to laugh at your intolerance as the sunset despises you for vomiting in its reflection on the ocean. 
That's assuming if you have a visiting with the lovely Panama City Beach and others like it.
Snaps to you for creatively shaking up our seasonal break week if you already have.

Do what you love while what you're doing, loves you back. Hug yourself.

Dear friends and I decided on a week long camping and climbing adventure through, in, around, about, the infamous Appalachian Trail. The trees will hug us.

That was such great imagery that I instantly saw that image in my head right after I read the sentence. (Not a great image, but vivid nonetheless.) ;)

I really enjoyed this post. What you said is so true.

Wait...just wondering, were you not, amongst the "mediocre" normal, if you will, college students in Destin just last year, indulging in your uncreative drinking, and dancing on the very same beach that you now so despise?

to rockclimber ->
Mediocre?
What's with the classification?
What makes a person mediocre anyways?

normal and mediocre don't have to be interchangeable.

YEP. apologies for not explaining that was me barfing into the sunset painted ocean.


it's not a criticism nor do I despise a place because a place has no intent or motive.
it's a suggestion to do something different than the previous.
