Moby Dick

Well...we met a copuple Quebec girls on the ferry to Samos so our mission of finding some travelling companions has been accomplished... After a brief stop in Samos (i love greek food) we made our way to Mykonos and the beach because it was the only ferry available to us. Now, the guide book says that Mykonos is the "gay" island but i'll be damned if i've sen one gay dude the whole time here....more like the "expensive island filled with 30-somethings and naked overweight 40-somethings"....apparantly the beach next to the one we're staying at is more the "young person" beach but we've been to lazy to find out.... however we were lucky enough to meet three dudes from whiterock on the ferry as well and they have provided us with some much needed entertainment...they've been travelling over here for 4 months so the facial hair is a wonder to behold...one dude is a straight up copy of James Hetfield with a chinstrap....

The beach here is nice...small pebble beach so you don't have to deal with sand in every crevace of your body...and the water....wow....turqouise blue and warm....spanish banks will never be the same....

oh god....having a flashback....you see the beaches here are nude, which is not that shocking for those of us that spend time on wreck (actually...check that...there is something shocking about scanning the beach for ladies and instead seeing some dude spread-eagled 20 feet away...mmm...choad...) , but two days ago myself and two of the white rock dudes were chilling in the water, minding our own business, when this monstrosity of a woman (i think it was a woman) waddled down to the water with some sort of black mumu strapped onto her body....now she must have been as wide as she was tall...no joke....every decent bone in my body figured that she wouldn't remove said mumu,if only top spare us the sight, but you know that feeling you have in the back of your mind when you know the impossible is going to happen?

so.....off comes the mumu....now i'm sure all of you are familiar with that fat-chick email porn that gets sent around by friends (like Orchie) who just want to gross you out when you check your morning email..well...i've found the model...i've never seen so many body parts hanging off of one body (no joking....each roll had to be classified as a limb)...and that's not all.....she proceeds to turn around (ass facing us) and bend over (i'm positive it was to check that she still had her feet.....god knows she hasn't seen them in ages)......that ass must have been 5 feet wide....Daisy then proceeds to graze here way down to the water where, after washing each saddle bag, floats herself about 100 feet out...(this wasn't swimming...it was some sort of self-propelled floating)...[insert whale-sighting joke here]..... unreal...

On a more serious note....i've finished Noam Chomsky's recent book about power in society...what an intelligent read...though it did put me in a bit of a bad mood....it's quite hard to enjoy your vacation when you're reading about the utter futility of the society you're living in...before reading this book i was always confused as to why i resented government, institutions, corporations so much...now it's clear....because they aren't intended to serve the interests of people like me/us...power in the middle class be damned..it's really quite frustrating, especially when confonted with the subject in so plain a light ...if i had any balls i'd actually do something about it, but that's a topic for another day.....i really recommend the book for anyone whio wants to dip their toes in reality for a bit.....it's called "Understanding Power"...I've moved on to reading Hunter S. Thompson's latest publication....so the attack on mainstream media/politics is continuing...though on a more lighter note...

Well....we're off to Ios today (the so-called party island where everybody is in their 20's and act like their 16).....sinking to such a depraved level should do me wonders....
