Alright, I have not written a lot on this page, and my intention was to not write on it until I figured out all there was to learn about the blogging tools I have at my disposal.  And as of yet, I haven’t really had a lot of time to do that.  This is mostly because I have been spending a lot of time reading for classes, amongst other things like going to the beach (at least once a week), and playing tennis.  But it has come to my attention that apparently some of my family members now know about this site, and therefore I shall begin writing some things on it anyway.

When I go to the beach, most of the time it has just been down to Waikiki, or some form of it.  Like this weekend, I attended a Campus Crusade barbecue at Ft. Derussy Beach Park.  It was good, lots of food, lots of ocean, lots of frisbee, and lots of cool people.  But the other weekend, I decided to enjoy my Labor Day by checking out a beach one of my friends recommended to me.  An seemingly innocent “Sandy Beach”.  I took the Bus down the coastline, past Hanauma Bay (one of the best snorkeling places in the islands) till I came to the beach.  I knew I would instantly love it, as the waves at this beach were big, bigger than I had ever seen in my life.  There were a lot of people in the water boogie boarding and body-surfing and it looked like a lot of fun.  The thing about Sandy Beach is it has a shorebreak, quite a severe one, and there were warning signs everywhere.  But I figured I would try my luck body-surfing anyway.  It was fun, and I only hit my head a few times as I got smashed into the beach. 

Now, today, I found out that Sandy Beach is in fact the #1 beach in the nation for neck/back injuries.  Hmm…I suppose I should probably be a little more careful next time.  Although next time I go, I’m hoping to have my own boogie board, which will probably promote more recklessness on my part.  But, I assure you, after a good tossing, I will become much more reserved.
