Emma’s off to Paris .I’m to get Leroy to school, get back for a teleconference and then drop Emma off to work . Afterwards I’ve volunteered to get a $10 massage to help a fellow student get his hours . This happens inside 11am . Am I selfish? Nah not me ….. I’m just saying that I knew in my gut that Murphy was gonna enforce his laws today . At 4 am I lie awake and I can hear it . There are waves , louder than usual and the wall of sound is constant . Can I consider reneging ? Shit …. I better not , but I know I’m letting this fish get away . Yeah , yeah . I know what you’re thinking . You’re spoilt , you’re sitting on your arse , living the life . On the beach . In California . In the sun . Getting a massage for $10 for Christ’s sake ! And you’re suggesting your not selfish ? Cause you might take a better option ? Too fucking right ! Look out my door and see what I’m looking at this morning at 730 .
That wave , them lines . The forecast says it will be on shore by 1030am . It doesn’t happen like this often , true , it really doesn’t . I let it go and stick to my duty . I’ve stuffed my massage times up and its11am ( unlike me , to get details wrong ….. ok , not . ) By the time I’m ready to hit it , so is a thousand other guys .
I decide to scramble back home , but it’s too late ,the wind has whipped on shore and what was once perfect conditions 300 m from Home is now crap . Living in LA , crowds … you can bank on it, onshore winds ….. lunchtimes most days . Moral of the story…….. be selfish
Selfish , not me
