the weird opportunity

I got to stay at my house today, no house sitting again until sunday night.
I went with my family all day to the grand re-opening of the Log Shop (surf/skate shop). My dad went to high school with the owner, and knows him pretty well, and his daughter goes to school and hula class with my little sister. After a brief meeting he told me to bring in my resume and I've got an interview. Its times like these when I appreciate how much my dad talks to everyone.
The new shop is immaculate, I've never seen such an amazing skate park inside of a shop. It used to be half of a grocery store, so they converted the front to their sales floor, and if you walk through a little hallway you get to this ridiculous maze of ramps and a humongous half pipe. There were so many people there, kids from the community, and professional skaters came out to skate together.

This is the part of Pacifica I like, no retarded girls in Ugg boots and Nor*Cal hoodies. Just passionate people coming out to skate and have a good time. Of course all the party regulars from high school came out and a lot of under-aged drinking started going around, which really made me angry. The owner has really built an awesome thing for this community, and all these retards who've never dropped-in a ramp in their lives come out to crash it.

I didn't want to come home, but my Dad was getting annoyed with all the idiots starting to show up, I think he understands now why I hated high school so much. I also got a bunch of cool pictures of the skaters doing crazy tricks. The guy who built the whole thing was there, and he is from Albuquerque, so my Dad and I talked to him about New Mexico for a while! Its still weird to meet New Mexicans outside of New Mexico, but it makes me feel at home.

I'm excited to (maybe) work there, it seems like my kind of environment, and its only a mile away from my house!
