the geezer even appeared in the film.... he is the one who helps Dreyfus' character up onto the jetty when he first arrives and says "hello yourself young fella"

(guess which elasmobranchiomorphii fanatic got the Jaws anniversary box set?)

Yah dude In the summer I go to the beach. TO keep in shape I used to do football but I quit because our school team sucks and it just isn't anything fun. I did that and summer school last year so I basically didn't have a summer because I went from 8-3 everyday. This summer I am free for like two weeks but then I am taking an intro to law class at stanford for three weeks. I also have to read for AP US and AP BIO. SO HOmework,gym, and beach for the summer. That freebording thing looks tight though I want to check that out.

Die the counselor that didn't know when the AP US makeup tests were. Now im stuck in only AP english. Well I have pretty much the same summer as you ^, summer school, and lots of beach time. With summer reading included...why do they do this to us? It doesn't make us any more knowledgable.

They have summer school for high school in america ??

i thought that was a university thing, im bummed out that i have to do it at the end of this year to make up for a biochem paper i missed out on, god damn compulsery first year papers, im doin civil not biochem ya damn knobs.

well anyway another thing i get into over the off season is a bit of hiking, maybe 2 or 3 times a year, Marlborough Sounds region and the forest around the Taupo region, amazing areas. If you ever come down here i recommend both.

Wow. I have been fishing like 3 times. Never caught anything. Great pics and catches.

When I was a kid I used to love fishing, as time passed by I started losing my patience. At this point I don't think I have it in me to sit down wait for a stupid fish to bite the line. I wish I had my old patience back, it makes much easier to deal with different situations life trows at you.

I might go try it out and fish of one of the piers in Ft.Lauderdale, but not sure how long I will last out there .

Great pictures by the way.
