damn, you beat me to it.

Now unless you take a ton of classes in a wild assortment of subjects, I don't think you're going to find your calling. The advice I've always been given is to just go with something, whatever keeps you interested at the moment. Life is busy enough to keep steering you in other directions, so there's no need to find that point on the ocean's horizon and swim against some wicked currents to get there. Rather, ride the waves and air that feels exciting Now.

Waves Gone Wild

Riding the waves: a very romantic concept on paper but not much good comes out of it. When I was taking surfing lessons I was told that sometimes in certain spots on the shore waves will run side to side, like a windshield wiper, in addition to the usual waves that roll towards land. And you can spot these trouble zones on the beach, the water is a different hue from the rest and there's no white water from breaking. So one day i was actually caught in one such aquatic conundrum and you just kinda sit in this churning water that bobs in every which direction... it's actually quite disconcerting because it's somehow very psychologically upsetting when the ocean doesn't do what it's supposed to. Unlike a rip current you can't depend on the logic of perpendicular navigation to guide you and the longer you stay in the rapid, swirling swells the more futile each effort seems and eventually you find yourself exhausted and convince yourself to just lie on your back and you will just ride it out until you reach a calm spot, one that makes

hahaha. I know exactly what you're talking about. In kaua'i, we went on a 2 mile hike over a cliff side and down a very muddy and slippery valley into a secluded beach. The beach itself was georgous and pristene, with a cliff face on the far side that drips freshwater into a small pool. However, the waves at the shore are a different matter entirely. Huge waves crash in about 6-12 feet high, and they come from 3 directions. This makes it incredibly terbulent and intense, as they slam into eachother and splatter onto the shoreline. There's a little sign as you get to the beach warning you not to enter the water as it can be fatal. At the bottom of the sign is a series of carved hatchmarks counting sets of 5. The total marks added up to 88. That was the number of deaths in that small beach (perhaps 200 feet wide) from 1998 to present.

um since u seem to know all about it, you should get a degree in hitting that shit. take classes in hitting of the shit, how to find the shit, proper techniques of hitting, and how to get rid of the shit when another shit pops back into your life with a baby claiming it to be yours and wants alimony for the lil shit.....yea do that
