I crapped my pants just watching this

The day before I shot this video, I was SUP surfing with a couple friends and 2 sharks circled us for about 15 minutes. the next day, I decided to go back out at around the same time and take my GO PRO HD camera mounted on a 10 ft pole and do some exploring.

Sure enough within 5 minutes a 9 ft shark came out of no where and circled twice and slapped his tail on my board before disappearing. then a minute later a 7 ft young juvenile Great White swam circles around me for 12 minutes.

There’s just that something about murky water and then seeing a ghostly image of a shark coming at you . . . and this dude isn’t freaked out one bit.

Bag of Randomness

  • We’re in to the third season of Mad Men and I just can’t get enough of it.  Part of me wants to start writing down Don Draper quotes.
  • In the latest episode Don was up cooking a snack when his daughter walked in and they had a real cute father/daughter moment.  I wonder when that’s gonna happen for me.

  • Nike has an ad that favors women with a, um, larger than average caboose.
  • This form of advertising by Dove Body Milk is kinda creepy.
