I went to the beach Thursday through Saturday night with Matt Warnick... it wasn't what I'd call a blast, but it was great to get away and just not have to think. I have the pictures up on Facebook if you care to check them out. They turned out great! Above is one.
Thursday we drove to the beach filming crazy videos on the way...check Facebook soon. Got there, unpacked, went out on the beach and did a sexyman photoshoot because we both wanted new profile pictures. I'm surprised the world didn't implode, we were so sexy (j/k). Then I freaked out because the water inside the condo was still turned off, just like the previous time I came to the beach. So I called maintanence and the guy was super nice, walked me through how to turn on the water and the hot water heater. That night, we went to the ABC store and got stuff for margaritas and rum and coke (all in moderation). Cooked out (burgers on Matt's grill, on the back porch, which apparently is a fire hazard according to Mister Security Guard so we won't ever do that again). Took over an hour to light the charcoal... it was supposed to be matchlight. Friday I hit snooze on my alarm (the song Not Guilty Anymore, a very soothing alarm, makes you hug your pillow really tight), it was set for 8:30 but we got up at 11. Matt said he's pretty sure he's not guilty anymore. Went out on the beach, played songs and talked about Ecclesiastes and stuff. I took the most pictures on this day. Jessica Bulova came, I looked behind me and she was there. I got a call from work saying they screwed up my work schedule for this week so I don't have any hours at all. Sweet! So we extended the beach trip and I was able to relax. Chilled on the beach literally with the wind chilling us... then Mike Bushey and Matt Bello, who are Warnick's roommates, came. We had a dinner council meeting and decided to go all out. We hit up the grocery store and got some pasta, alfredo sauce, salad, and stuff for shrimp/vegetable kabobs. Came back, grilled out (in the parking lot grilling area this time, but still on Matt's portable grill, which is, we know now, illegal). Pasta was done way too early. But otherwise it was fine. Everything was coordinated really well. I actually enjoyed the process more than the actual meal, because by the time we sat down it was somewhat cold. But it was still great food. And the salad... I kinda expected to be cold.
Went out that night (Friday) and watched Matt Bello catch 3 sharks. We accidentally killed one because we took too long to get the 3 pronged hook out of its mouth, plus everyone had to take pictures... including me *twitter is addictive* *cough*. Tried to stay under the overhang on the end of the pier to get out of the wind but someone had pissed in it so it smelled awful... A former ECU student that was there caught this weird eel-fish thing and said he'd use it as bait.
Came back that night, and Jersey Jess and the boys left. Matt and I searched for TWO HOURS on TV for something... the only thing on was the Matrix but somehow we got stuck watching TBN, which was horrible. Amy Grant... you need to take off your golden-plated capo (which was capo 7, WAY up there) during the song if you're going to sing without playing. Her tuning must have been screwed after that. Oh and it was obviously filmed in the early 90's. Then a man with barred glasses came on and proceeded to explain how the reinstatement of Israel as a country was a sign that Judgement is near. Apparently the restoration of Israel is something that happens in the end times. We about were falling asleep then so we got up and went to bed (in totally separate beds but definitely in the same room).
Got up after noon the next day... dang it. Going to bed at 4 has its drawbacks. Got up, ate the last of the doughnuts from Thursday, went out on the beach. Sat out playing guitar. Didn't do much of that before several girls showed up and introduced themselves. Apparently they go to ECU too. Oh wait... I don't anymore, cause I'm an old fossil. They left, and Matt and I went for a walk on the beach and talked some more. Came back up and were cleaning up, preparing to come home when the girls stopped by and said they were preparing dinner and we could come. So we did. And they only lived three doors down. I've never seen anyone my age there before. Crazy! Then after a couple hours of me constantly trying to end the conversation and leave, we finally did. They were very talkative, and Matt is no exception. Then we left. Filmed more videos on the way back home. Stopped in New Bern, picked up my diploma that finally came, got to see my family and pick up a book I ordered called "The Cross and Christian Ministry", and then we came back to G-Vegas. The End.

sounds like you had a great time! If you ever need someone to go out to the beach with you, give me a ring! I've been here two years now and I still haven't made it out there.
