The Whaler

Here I am Day 3 into my vacation and I am trying to figure out what to do until I leave for Florida. Yesterday I ended up just hanging out killing time.. Went for a run down the beach finally, but that really took a lot of energy to do. Then of course I am at the furthest point in my run and my damn Ipod goes out. Why does it always go out at the furthest point or at the beginning of your workout in the gym?

The one thing is on the run I got to check out some of those over priced houses on the beach.

The weather has been kick ass out here. It's amazing how quickly you can get used to the 75 or 80 degree weather instead of the 115 in Phoenix.


Last night ended up at the Whaler in Venice Beach. Cool bar and its right on the beach. Cool as hell. Venice Beach still to me is home to the weirdest people on the planet. Just spend a day walking the Venice Strand and you will see. Hung out with my bro and talked about the St. Louis Cardinals and how he is moving to downtown LA in a penthouse studio. Threw back a few Budweiser's...which by the way there is nothing like an ice cold beer after a long day of relaxing.. or working for that matter. As we were talking sports we find out the bartender was from St. Louis. One of the customers across from me at the bar noticed my RDU shirt and we started talking about what a great station it used to be. Pretty funny when you realize what a small world it is.

I also got to drive home his Hummer. I am used to driving the Tank Hummer H1 from the days with WRDU in Raleigh, but what difference these things are. I mean this was pretty sweet, comfortable, and smooth.. Even though to me if I'm driving the Hummer give me the Tank! The H1 kicks ass!
