A is for Aqua

Well here begins my first ever blog, a webpage to call my own, a safe home for my creative thoughts and writing endeavors. I have chosen to organize these posts alphabetically. I figure it'll be easy for me to find later when I wanna go back and read through stuff and give an interesting format to this page.

So the first round I'm starting is colors:

A is for aqua

When I think of aqua I think of the ocean, more specifically South Padre Island. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I didn't see the ocean blue in any given year of my life. It seems like every summer in my early ages I was in my swimsuit on the edge of the water making what my dad called "drip castles". As I got older dad would take me fishing on the ocean and I distinctly remember catching a hammerhead shark around the age of 6 or 7. Then there was middle school when my family owned a condo on the beach, Suntide III. One of my favorites was when my friends Jacqui and Sarah came with the family to South Padre and we took modeling pictures on our balcony. In the most recent times I have gone parasailing, bayfishing, and the ever popular (and most cost effective) body boarding. As I write this, I have a strong notion that I'll soon be planning a late summer vacation to go spend at the beach with my best friend Jose. Maybe someday a time will come when I will wake up every morning to the sight of the aqua blue from my back porch.
