Me, Joe, his friend Adam, and his girlfriend Rhonda hopped into Joe's van, and headed out to the usual spot at Cocoa beach (across from Patrick Airforce base) today. We got a very early start (7:00 AM :cry: ) because we thought Adam had to be at work by 4:00, and we wanted to spend as much time there as possible (when we got to the beach, his boss called and said they didn't need him to come in today. :| )

The hour long ride took a bit longer than usual, because Joe wasn't paying attention, and got off of the highway at the wrong place, and we couldn't figure out how to get back on. (damn Florida highways :evil: ) I learned Adam's catch phrase: "Don't worry about______...you just worry about________" (it's pretty funny when he says it several times during the day :P )

We stopped at Dunkin' Donuts to grab some food, and Joe almost got into a fight with a big biker dude who was staring at Rhonda :lol:

When we finally got there, we walked out to shore, and saw that no one was in the water, and the waves were  extremely choppy. we ignored the rip current warnings, grabbed our boards (I still don't have a new one, but I will in the next few days :wink: ) and hit the surf. We made it out to the breakers, and got slaughtered by the choppieness. We were pushed all the way back to shore several times...Joe even somehow managed to lose half of his toenail in the process! :? as the nail was hanging off by a tiny bit of skin, Adam said "Don't worry about the pain...you just worry about pulling it off!" he pulled it off, and there was blood everywhere :cry:

After a few hours of trying to get out past the breakers, we gave up, and decided to hang out in the shallow water. Joe stepped on a small shell, and got it stuck in his foot (the same foot with the missing toe nail :cry: ) 

We went to get lunch at Long John Silver's/Taco Bell. (both in one building! :o ) when Joe limped over to the counter to order his food, the lady asked him why he was walking like that. he explained the situation with the shell, and said that a free taco would make it feel better. the lady asked if he was really hurt, or if he was just trying to get free food, so Joe did what any man would do, he pulled his shoe off in the middle of the restaurant, and showed her his bloody, toenail-less foot! :lol: (he didn't get a free taco though. :( )

While we were eating, Adam accidentally knocked over a glass bottle, shattering it on the floor. when the lady comes over to clean it up, Adam said "don't worry about who did it...you just worry about cleaning it up!" I was like: :o...:lol:

when we got back to the beach, we tried to surf again, and failed :( we just chilled on the beach for a few hours. Adam "impressed" a group of rather hawt girls by throwing a dead bird at Joe. :lol:

on the way home, we passed by at least ten police cars, all of which were pulling people over :?

Despite foot injuries, broken glass, and bad waves, it was a pretty fun day. I can't wait to get a new board, and go back next week 8)
