Flying on a motorcycle and other ways to remedy a bad day

It's amazing how a long day at work in hot hot heat can make you into a horrible person. The moment we closed today I let out a few screams which, I'm sure frightened the remaining people on the deck outside...once I realized the doors were still open to allow ventilation...
It is also amazing, though, how a jump in the ocean and a motorcycle ride can totally remedy that feeling. The ocean here was warm today and me and my coworker jumped right in, ignoring the passing float planes and boats. I then sat my wet shorts on the back of a bike and rode around the island for a good half hour or so. If you close your eyes, its pretty darned close to flying. When I was little it was just that semi scary ride that my mother didn't feel comfortable letting my sister and I go on. Now it's...yeah...flying.
So in short, today I screamed at innocent people, jumped in the ocean, and flew around an island. no big deal. Oh and I also wrote allllll about it because I'm pretty sure everone on the planet is dying to know what I did with my day.

Well here's what other people did with THEIR days...

An old homeless man circled a cafe all day finding new and creative excuses as to why he shold get free coffee. A kid got his finger slammed in a sliding case door and cried about it...10 minutes later...A stranger tried in vain to get a girl's number (quite obnoxiously) for about 15 minutes until being rejected via flying burrito, and I'm SURE Megan Fox did something FASCINATING to every male inhabitant of planet earth.

Also in the news, French people are the worst tourists on earth, and Japanese people are the best. I'm not that surprised. American's can be frustrating tourists but they tend to tip well, whereas apparently the French do not. I'm pretty sure everytime there is an article about obnoxious people from foreign countries, it is almost always about the French. Ze Frrrrench. I personally love France. And croissants, and baguettes, and all the other French things that go along with it. France is pretty much a sweet place, and the citizens just happen to know it. Which makes them less sweet tourists, as it turns out.

Anyway, before I spark a big riot of angry frenchmen I will move on to say only this...

I'm tired.
No links, no photos. No nothing. Just a short little rant about how most things in the news annoy me.

au revoir mes amis

Or whatever the term is...
