Aaron’s Blarg!

For most of the year, Seattle can be a cold wet mess. But, once summer comes around, Seattle can be one of the most beautiful places to live in. Sunny but cool weather, early sunrises and late sunsets. Some being as late as nine in the evening. Man… I love Seattle in the summer.

*I do recommend you listen to Snoopy Waves by Deerhoof. That was my anthem of the afternoon.*

A couple weeks ago Leroy and company invited Marc and I out to Golden Gardens. We had dogs on the barbie, beers buried in the sand, whiskey in a bag of chips, pirate’s booty, and some questionable substances provided by Endresen. It was such a beautiful afternoon at beach… BOYEE~!

The shoreline was really calm that day. The waves creeping up onto the sand was therapeutic medicine to my ears. Kinda like that electronic waterfall that Terrell has next to his bed; the one with sound effects. Only less of a novelty item and it’s free.

It was also cool and breezy. Thankfully not windy and blasting sand in our faces. There were people at the beach flying their kites literally a quarter-mile high. OK, maybe not a quarter-mile high, but it was pretty damn high.

Boys will always be boys no matter what. Even in our mid-twenties, we still enjoy making fires. Noel and Terrell would agree.

I swear to god I used to believe in! Photos can capture the stupidest faces on anyone while they eat.

Despite the beers being buried under the sand, we still were forced to drink them in blue cups. Not red, because that’s a dead give away you’re drinking something you’re not supposed to. That and red cups are played out.

James can be seen here eating some pirate’s booty. Gah! I could go for some pirate’s booty right now.

Marc manages to pull of a “Clint Eastwood stare” while eating. He’s actually squinting because he’s blind as a bat.

Endresen was very disappointed when he dropped his hotdog in the pit.

The only decent photo of myself. Thank you Mea!

I do have to say that José and Mea are exceptional people behind the camera. With my camera, they managed to pull some really good photos throughout the afternoon.

Marc, you so derp.

Endresen getting ahead of himself trying to cook two dogs at once.

I’m posting this picture disregarding James’ request.

I’m a little sad I blew-out this photo.

Yes, we actually cooked the dogs using sticks Steve and Leroy found in the woods.

Endresen does have a pair of cool looking Chucks. I wish I had the confidence and skill to draw something cool all over my Chucks.

As the afternoon was coming to an end, we soon found ourselves gathering around the fire snacking on chips and booze. Although it was sunny, Seattle is still fairly cold during the evening.

Leroy has that “Dos Equis” stare going on. “Stay thirsty my friend.”

As soon as the sun started to set, we packed up our things and discreetly gave some of it back to the aina.

Chillin’ at the beach was such a relief from all the stress I’ve been building up from school and other things. I was happy and nostalgic at the same time sitting any lying on the beach. It kinda got me a little homesick. Nothing can ever beat the beaches in Hawai’i.
