Stretch of Newport Beach Closed After Apparent Shark Attack on Memorial Day Weekend

Good thing I wasn't planning on going to the beach today. Besides it's super overcast out right now.

Hopefully the woman makes a full recovery of course!

In what respect? There's lots of chicken and curry

My experience was very much biased by the fact that the people we went to visit and help out were anticipating and quite welcoming of us, so it's quite possible that I got an overly high interpretation of the general disposition. Most everyone I came into contact with was very gracious and generous, and also very curious.

It's strange as an outsider coming in and seeing the trash and squalor so many of them live in, but they don't act like it's trash and squalor. It's bog standard to them, so they mostly just go about their lives. (mind you, this isn't at all universal standard. Several people in the larger cities are living something closer to contemporary civilized life)

I love chicken!!!

Oh wow, that sounds awesome actually, so everything worked out fine it seems.

 

[Granadier]

aw. reminds me of that Linklater film Before Sunrise.
couldn't you ask for her number or facebook or something?

Ha, that is earily similar to what I went through. Except she didn't make it to Vienna and I didn't get off
I'm still not sure why I didn't ask for her number or Facebook. I had communication access over there, so it would have been entirely possible for us to meet up.
Stupid 21 year old me.

look at it this way: maybe you dodged a bullet there. she was probably crazy.

You're right. I most likely avoided being brought to some hostel and tortured.

 

[Risgroo]

You got this.

Thanks brah.

That only makes it grow. Spray me more

I need to drop 10 lbs in the next month or two.

I should make a bet with someone. That'd motivate me.

I'm down

hahaha I think that's my favorite response GIF use in quite a while

Woohoo! Is there a prize?

 

[Vazra]

In other news I need to drop 110 lol

i think i might have figured out how obs works.

Now there's the question if i actually want to stream this shit

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I dropped 100 since high school. Since gained some back but it's doable if you're willing to make sacrifices

Which is understandable if you aren't. Sacrifices suck!

 

[You Know Nothing]

Wow, totally forgot last night was Sunday and not Saturday. I'm gonna have to watch Game of Thrones at some point.

Damn long weekend ruining my sense of time.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Oh god I'm so full I ate way too much ow

I hope I can actually manage to get an appointment tomorrow

I was 328 last year and slowly moved to 289. Mostly just controlling portions and not eating after 7pm (most of the time)

 

[Granadier]

Part of me really likes this look. Not sure if I could pull it off though.

[Vazra]

LOL do that to me with your d after 5-10 minutes of doing things to it

 

[FloatOn]

The Nice Guys was a fantastic film all of you should watch. Florida is waaaay too hot at the moment so no nature things for me today.

Currently hanging out with one of the cats

 

[Vazra]

Gonna get a nap. See ya'll later

EDIT: ^ Cute Pussy

Look from the bright side, it could be 69,99 € down the drain

Movie of the year? I'm definitely watching it.

Buff, petite girl at the gym is squatting with more weight than I do. And of course she's wearing running shorts.

putting suede on running shoes is like putting lipstick on a pig.

actually annoyed at this point. No help at all from google doesn't help.

Booo! If I were getting them it would be the knit versions, not suede. I hate suede.
I need new shoes though, so what should I get. Anything not suede, not Chucks, and not boat shoes.

This happens almost every time when I'm at the gym, haha. These girls can squat some serious weight.

show me the knit version.
apart from that I like simple sneakers on guys. just pick a color you like

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Oh yeah today's Memorial Day in America isn't it

 

[SystemBug]

they fall into more of lifestyle shoes than running shoes. its like casual athletic wear

ordered these shoes myself. bro works for Newbalance so i get a discount

 

[Nerdkiller]

Oh my. First genuinely warm day here this year. Picked the wrong day to finish cutting the grass.

 

[AcridMeat]

It was miraculous. I learned a lot and we were able to help a lot.

I posted more details back here btw (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=205037126)

Oooh wow, looks like quite an experience. Hope you were able to accomplish some of the goal! Share some more pictures if you can.

About the girl, I'm probably romanticizing it more than it deserves, but anyways.
While I was over there backpacking I was traveling from Lyon to Vienna. In Paris I switched trains, and after I sat down this really cute French girl sat down next to me. We started chatting and there was that really weird connection between us that you can't really explain. The whole train ride was just getting to know each other and sharing stories from France and the US. She was going to medical school in Paris and on her way back home to visit family.
I think her stop was Strasburg or somewhere, can't remember but it wasn't Munich. Anyways, I should have gotten off with her and just went with the flow (she asked if I wanted to). For some reason I thought my hostel reservation in Munich was more important though, so I stayed on the train. She even did the whole "turn, smile and wave longingly" while the train was leaving and watched from the station. I still kick myself for not getting off or at least trying to keep connected with her.

Wow, yeah that is straight from a storybook. I would have done the same and would be left with the same regret honestly haha.

I don't think any of them are actual suede, just the stitching on some make them look suede-ish.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I just have a few sneakers like these

See, those shoes go really well with triblend jogger sweats like those. They wouldn't go well with the fake jeans in the other picture. You have to match like with like.

I like them better but it depends on your style I guess.

there were some color changing nikes once if I remember correctly. man I really wanted those.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Man

I feel like everyone else puts way more thought into their clothes than I do

Band shirt + trousers + hoodie + either skate shoes or Doc Martens = me, every day. Maybe a shirt instead of hoodie if it's hot

Usually yes. Band shame tarp and jeans.

But I do like a nice button up, dark jeans and some good shoes.

I have no money so

Florida is a horrible, horrible place, full of awful insects and heavy heat. Was born in St. Pete, but lived in Bradenton for like 13 years. Withough AC.... Not fun. Moved to Gainesville after that. Got out of that state when I finally had the chance.

Gainesville is the only place in America I've been to (not counting places where I just stayed in an airport)

Grilling some ribs on the pit this afternoon. Made some potato salad. Someone come eat all this food I'm making, lol

Please tell me Gainesville has a gym called Gainsville. Pls.

Interesting. I lived there for 10 years. It's this weird melting pot, because of UF. There's so many people packed into a relatively medium sized city. The road planning was done by a child with a piece of paper who scribbled with a crayon and they went with it. Not to mention most of the roads in and out of downtown, which is where the college is, are single lane. That's bad when there's a football game! (I hate American football. Think it's a pointless sport.) You're pretty much not going anywhere in or out of the city on that day.

I enjoy living in the country now. I'm a quiet person who likes a calm, quiet environment.

Why were you there?

Please tell me Gainesville has a gym called Gainsville. Pls.

I think you may have just found your true calling. You were placed here on this earth just to create this gym. Go forth, my friend.

Well, I went for Fest because I'm a punkboy, so I didn't see too much outside of various bars

I don't think I could handle living in the country, I feel like I'd just get super bored unless I could easily travel to a city

Pau used to live there I think, would be funny if you lived there at the same time

 

[jb1234]

There. Pale but acceptable. To be fair we had tons of sun the last few weeks which is nice for a change.

Now I can't enjoy it anymore 'cause of the tattoo, I'm a master planner.

edit ffs thats way bigger than i thought

Holy mother of god, this is a hot picture.
