what's that you said?

hmm...i definitely have the urge to write something but i can't settle on any one talking point in particular. my dad is currently on his first official date with the college football season downstairs while my mom and i lounge on the second level. perhaps this is a good time for a lesson in boomeranger lingo as it relates to my life specifically...

today was a good day at the office. now when i say "office", you should know by now that i am not referring to anything relating to the traditional sense of what the word office actually represents. this means no cubicles, no desktops, and absolutely no artificial lighting. my office is anywhere that a sand volleyball court exists. this is my office because this is the setting in which i learn, harbor, and execute my skills, all in the hope of bettering myself and those around me (my associates if you will). we all mosey on into the office when we please because the only "boss" that exists in our world are the intangibles: heart and drive for the sport. sure, some of us may put more pressure on ourselves to succeed in certain tournaments for monetary reasons, but we don't come into work everyday on that alone. needless to say, if you are concerned solely about money, this is not the business for you. no resumes required to compete here :)

not only do we hope that people show up to the office ready to work hard, but also wear the appropriate attire. this requires the accumulation of a plethora of "business suits". if you are picturing a coat and tie while reading this, you really need to get with the program. in our world, the only business suit acceptable comes in a two-piece, and preferably one in style. for the men, simple swim trunks will do, but bonus points are given out for creativity. i've come across some hideous outfits over the months, but the important thing to remember is not to underestimate the fashion senseless-actual skill could be lurking beneath an army-patterned bandanna-wearing individual.

so just because we don't carry briefcases, don't use post-its, and don't huddle around the water cooler doesn't mean that we lack an "office" culture. there is much protocol and faux-paus that surrounds a typical day at the office, but that discussion is for another time.

stay tuned for more lessons in boomeranger lingo...
