It's about life - not "lifestyle"

THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY
MAY 2, 2002

Ye Gods, one might say. What next?

It's May now, and Southern California is enjoying spring it all its glory. the sun has been out for a while, some heavy winds, the first south swell of the season was a fizzle most places, and the water actually seems to be warming up. All systems seem to be go.

Things are running in High Gear here at vagabondsurf.com. Keep the communications coming. While we greatly appreciate the naked photos which occasionally come our way, no, we won't put them up on the site. But don't let that stop you from sending them...

The news of the world is still rather ugly. The news in the U.S. still ranges from ugly to plain wierd. Former President of the United States Bill Clinton was in Hollywood on May 1, pitching a talk show to television executives. His asking price is $50 million a year. He supposedly has expressed interest in becoming "the next Oprah Winfrey", according to the Los Angeles Times. One can only wonder what, exactly, that might mean.

Good news for the editorial staff here: no family names showed up on the State Of California Department of Insurance lists of former slave holders. This is a groundbreaking move, the result of a recent California law which required insurance companies to go through their archives and make public lists of anyone whom somehow insured themselves against loss of their slaves back in the 1800's. The end result is to lay a groundwork for reparation lawsuits by decendants of former slaves. We won't touch the merits of those arguments, but we are happy to think that, for the moment at least, we won't have to sign over the mortgage to lawyers to defend us against something we didn't do.

I presonally knew this week was going to have its share of bizzarro events when I happened upon a cable tv show called piratenet on one of the Showtime channels. The ever-luscious Leann Tweeden was hosting this action packed montage of extreme sports and soft-core porn. We are all for action sports here at vagabondsurf.com, and will watch almost anything the former hostess of Bluetorch TV does - and no, she doesn't star in the soft-core porn - but the producers need to let poor Leann be herself.

It was on at 11 p.m. Sunday night, which was too late for such a nerve jangling sight. They had Leann splayed out like a Playbody Playmate with clothes on. Have you ever seen a Playbody foldout where the model is placed in such a manner her head doesn't look like it even is attached to her body (maybe it didn't matter to you; like I said, Leann had clothes on)? It was a wierd contortion. On top of that some director had obviously told her to make a lot of facial gestures, which left he looking like some perverted Disney anamatronic creature. What a waste.

But, that was then. New things await us in this new month. Keep checking in, much more is coming.
