Surfing Ruined My Life

Not to much to report here except to report on nothing at all.  If you have been following the surf log you may have noticed that I have not surfed more then one day in the last two weeks.  First I hurt my back at work lifting too many trays of bacon over to the oven causing me to have to sit out of four days of ride able surf.  Currently I am healing but am still only at 80%.  I must be getting old.

Then we plunged into some of the coldest weather and worst flat spells I have ever experienced out here in California with nights just hovering around the low 40’s high 30’s.  I managed to sneak in an average session on turkey day whose details you can read about in the surf log if you so desire, but let me break the suspense for you; it was far from life altering.

As far as my holiday went and my four day mini vacation from work I must say it was not at all the fun I had anticipated.  I had hoped to get obliterated downtown every night yet managed to only get out for like one and half nights of which only one was close to what I would call an out of control night.  Maybe another sign of me getting old either that or proof I have no friends here anymore.

I spent Thanksgiving at my good friend Ryan’s house in Ventura with his family and close friends.  It was a decent evening with the exception of little kids running all over the place although I guess they could have been more rambunctious then they were.  For kids I guess one could safely say they were rather well behaved.  I remember when I was their age I would have broken at least three items in the house before the turkey even hit the table.  Then again my childhood would make a perfect advertisement for birth control, possibly my adulthood as well.  That’s why I don’t care to procreate.  If I get a kid even 1/8 as bad as I was growing up he would be a handful.

No thanks; one Chris Lisanti is too much for this world as it is.  Seriously Ryan did a great job.  He cooked the turkey on a barbeque and it was well done.  I made the desserts baking a Pumpkin Pie (see the Pumpkin Pie Extravaganza for that one) and my own little invention, Apple Cobbler Cups that I will feature here at some point in Recipe D’Jour.  The last three years I have bounced around in all sorts of different company on Thanksgiving, spending last year in Santa Cruz breaking bread with Mauriello, Mark Hamilton, his roommate and her mother.  The year before that I was raging with a bunch of crazy Russians in a multimillion-dollar compound in Puerto Rico.

Here on SurfingRuinedMyLife.net I must say I am rather pleased with the growth I have gotten.  I got the best Internet search hit ever this week.  Someone searched for “Im poor and Im angry” and was led to Surfingruinedmylife.net.  How right on the nose that search engine was cause I certainly am poor and very angry.  Some other genius searched for “A midget without arms or legs”, I got a “Carne Asada Vagina” as well.  Those were the most entertaining ways people found their way to this bullshit.  That’s all I got for the moment.  If I don’t die stay tuned for more boring news posts like this in the future.
