It’s An Island

June 8, 2008

So here I am, sitting on a westbound ferryboat crossing the bay to another island just across the way. In about ten minutes I’ll have finished this bottle of rum I’ve been working on during the ride across. When this thing hits berth, I’ll be meeting up with a dear friend to prepare and cook delicious fixings of the barbecue variety, overlooking the northeast Pacific and discuss a healthy itinerary littered (liquored?) with even more rum, loud music, potentially upset neighbouring households, and with any luck pass out on a bar stool — as so often happens.

It’s Saturday afternoon, almost evening, and at this point — what’s the difference anyway? Weekend? Weekday? Evening, morning, midday? I should select a song to place here that will make your shoes go shoo-shoo-shoo, your hands to go yes-yes-yes, and your throat to go chug-chug-chug. All resulting in a likely pound-pound-pound in your head tomorrow morning, but not before a thump-thump-thump on your headboard tonight.

Gimme More & Bring ‘Em Out (Remix) by, T.I. and Britney.

Good luck out there, tiger!
