We’ve had a bit of the June gloom lately in L.A. (70’s and only sunny 1/2 of the day). It’s hard to believe that anyone can complain when the rest of the country has been experiencing record highs, lows, rain, floods and snow. The surf has been amazing out here and the haze seems to go away on the weekends. Check out these pics of weather around the country yesterday…

I saw these pics on the Surfrider Foundations Myspace page and it made me realize that we don’t have it too bad out here. Viva LA!
The Telegraph reports that students from the Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, celebrated the end of a school term by “having unprotected sex in a village square.” Talk about a great idea. I need to meet the lad who organized this fiesta. If anyone cares to join, alldayson.com is hosting a live reenactment next Friday at Middle Park in Bettendorf, IA.
“Alison Hughes, the deputy head of the Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, was so concerned that she detailed the “catalogue of disasters” in a two-page letter to parents, warning them about the sexual activity, violent behaviour and alleged drug abuse that took place.She wrote: “We have had to help a disturbingly high number of girls through the aftermath of having unprotected sex that evening, most of whom have told us they were too drunk to be in control of themselves. The risks are real. Assume the worst.”
Neil Taplin, the landlord of the nearby George and Dragon pub, said that youths had urinated against his wall and sworn at him when he refused to sell them cigarettes. “They were a law to themselves,” he said. “It was upsetting for people in the village. We are all quite close and look out for each other.”
A resident involved in the clean-up said that she saw evidence of drug use, blood stains and broken glass and said that a newly fitted sink had been smashed.”
I get pretty fired up playing tennis myself (hitting balls at cars, breaking racquets, cutting down the net, throwing my racquet at the other player, etc.), but this guy takes the term “sore loser” to a whole new level. I know this was pretty highly publicized, but for those yet to see this genius in action…
So I’ve lived in LA for about a year and a half now. Friends have come and gone, but I think I finally found a crew to roll with. They took me in like family. Check out this video they made, watch out for the snooze, and grind for the block!!!
