Hair tied back in a man-bun, back of head, cool like.

…My newest friend, a Canadian expat, just 200 yards away, drives a Harley, has 3 enormous Dobermans, plays Pink Floyd loud, and has a sign on his gate that proclaims:

NO SNIVELLING

Whenever I snivel? I go down to the beach—5-minute walk away—so that I’m automatically reminded about what the fuck I’m doing and why.

    The good thing about committed relationships is you have a lot of leeway in the appearance:likelihood of sex department.

    The good thing about doing whatever the fuck you want is that you don’t give a shit about ridiculous magazine publicized polls.

    You have a neighbour who plays Pink Floyd. I think you died and went to heaven.

    So whenever he turns up the Floyd, you can turn on The Kinks:

    Standing up straight and looking relaxed in the picture – looks like the back is feeling pretty good.

    Glad to see it and hope it does feel decent.

    When are you going to lift some shit man? You’re pissing me off with all this fucking hedonism!

      I don’t even care that I don’t care what you think. Drive the Baja, come see me, or just shut the fuck up because I’m not interested.

      Seriously? You actually think I give a shit about what you think?

    Is Blanca heading your way?

      Ah, MCG:

      You lookin’ out for me eh? Thanks & props. Well, the small hurricane that already did the left turn explains the high surf we’ve been having, limiting me to short excursions into it all.

      Haven’t looked since last night but it looks to be like a 50 mpher which ought to be doable for everyone.
