First Footage of Frilled Shark - This thing looks like a dinosaur.

Officials at Awashima Marine Park, located in the coastal city of Numazu, have obtained rare video footage of a frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) near the sea surface after it was captured in nearby waters.

On the afternoon of January 21, a fisherman spotted the large fish in the shallow water near the park. He immediately contacted Awashima Marine Park officials, who caught the shark and transported it to the park’s dolphin pen, where they turned it loose. The weak shark was able to survive for several hours — long enough for park officials to videotape it swimming around. Video footage of the frilled shark near the sea surface is very rare, and the park says it will keep the video for research purposes.

The frilled shark is typically found at a depth of around 600 meters (2,000 feet). Its slender body grows to about 160 cm long, and unlike most sharks, which typically have 5 sets of gills, the frilled shark has 6 sets. It is known as a “living fossil” for its resemblance to extinct, Paleozoic sharks.

Researchers investigating why the shark was found in shallow waters think it may have surfaced along with deep-sea water pushed up to shallow depths by easterly winds. Another possibility is that it left the deep waters because of cool water temperatures near the surface. Or perhaps it came in search of food.
 
 
   
 

Well whatever... here you go Carly
One of my friends flashflood , said post something new, well Carly there's nothing really much to talk about, I've got school ( I hate math), I have friends, a girlfriend, I work at school now, I just recently went on a retreat called Kairos (God's time) at our school and it is one of the most phenomonal experiences of my life, CKX for life!, other than that, umm, my mom is grounding me right now because I lost my keys at a friends house last saturday (18th) after going over there after work when I was told not too, then I fell asleep over there after I said I'd be home by 12, then I was woken up by Sean's mom at 1 and she said my parents are comin, then I got yelled at by them and almost didn't get to go on Kairos the next day, then i went on Kairos (again phenomonal experience) and came back on wednesday night, where our families and past Kaironians (we're weird like that, but yet awesome) came and celebrated us doing this retreat (complete surprise).  Then on thanksgiving sean called and said he found my keys, and I also went walking for 4-5 hours and everyone was flipping out because I purposely didn't take my cell phone because I wanted time alone to myself without anyone bothering me.  Then friday I woke up early for black friday for the sales, we didn't really get anything, by the time we got there all the good stuff was gone.  Later that day my friends Dan and Brett called from a place they were at saying they didn't have a ride and they were playing pool and me and my dad played a game and totally owned (my dad's a pool shark he worked at a pool hall when he was 13 and absolutely loves the game) so Dan and Brett had 1 ball left and missed it and it was my dad's turn and we had 5 balls left on the table and my dad sunk all of them and the eight ball and one from behind, sweet victory :).  Then on saturday was my girlfriend (Jayme) and I's 1 month anniversary, since I'm grounded I couldn't do anything, so I have a surprise for her on monday, and she was over at her friends house yesterday and we talked for a while on the phone and then were txt messaging till about 2 in the morning then they left me all these weird voicemails in the morning including a recording of "Hey Ya" from Outkast, which was cute, cuz she knows I like that song, then I talked to her again this morning, doin' some laundry, and now have to do math homework.  I hope this was satisfactory Carly, we need to talk I've been trying to call you and I've been txt messaging you but you won't respond, CALL ME BACK SOMETIME EH!!! :P
 
 
 

   
Myrtle Beach 3

   My sister Lois, and her entire family arrived over here Thursday night so we have been so busy with them and playing with her 5 grandchildren, we haven't had time to blog, but here is a quick update.

   This is their motel.

 

They were on the 25th floor. I got a little dizzy when I walked out on their balcony. I took this picture of the pier behind their motel from the balcony of their room.

 

It doesn't look very long from this height but this is the longest pier on the east coast. Friday night, we walked to the end of it and saw a guy catch a huge shark. I don't know exactly how long it was but it was at least 5 feet; maybe 8 feet. I didn't have my camera with me to take a picture dog-gone it. Last night we took the kids out there to fish and they caught 3 fish called "croakers". They made a noise that sounded like a frog.

   We also found out some very exciting news, but I can't report it yet. SmileyHere is a picture of the full moon over the ocean.

 
 
   
 

Jumping the shark
Jumping the shark (from urbandictionary.com) : a term to describe a moment when somethin that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity. Origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on waterskis. Thus was labeled the lowest point of the show.

So I decided in bed last night as I was trying to sleep that it might be a entertaining idea to use this term to identify when I knew relationships or flings had 'jumped the shark'. To protect the unfortunate,  I'm not going to identify who I'm speaking about but I'm sure some of them will prove to be nostalgic and hilarious for Brandybear.  I hope it will inspire others to do one to compare our mistakes, misfortunes, and miscommunications with the opposite sex.  Or perhaps it will cement how shallow I am.

Anyway, without further ado (these are all different people):

- when he picked me up for a "small drive" and I ended up in Flin Flon ( four hours away ).  We almost hit a moose. It was supposed to be romantic?

- when i refused to sleep with him, he pulled "it" out and began touching himself, telling me he wanted to worship me as his goddess. I called a cab, and he asked for a hug before I left, and as disgusted as I was, I obliged. That's when he attempted to pull me onto his exposed lap and rub me against him.  I have never run so fast!

- when we were lying in bed for the first time, he took a stuffed animal and started making a voice for it.  Cute, right?  Until he took another and had a ten minute dialogue with them, in increasingly higher pitched voices and completely ignoring me

- when he gave me an absolutely atrocious clock.  I wish I could describe it.  It was the biggest eyesore I have ever seen, and I truly believe he gave it to me as a gift only because he could not take having it in his possession anymore.  And I was too nice to throw it away so it stayed in the closet forever.  It's probably still somewhere in Princeton Towers Suite 815..

- after bragging about his mint condition classic camero that was supposedly parked in his garage for weeks, we drove to his house and parked his parent's van in the garage, beside an old rusted out truck.  "Where's your camero?" I asked casually.  "My Camero? Oh, yeah, uh, um, it's in Winnipeg right now, getting fixed!"  I raised an eyebrow; "Couldn't you order the parts?  You *are* in Power Mechanics."  He looked down and said "No.  The parts are really rare so only this guy I know in Winnipeg can do it.  He's doing it for free.  He's a buddy."  Riiiight.  But I give him credit for being the most confident, unabashed liar this country has ever known.

- When he showed me his European porn collection. 

- When he said that Rufus Wainright's version of Hallelujah was wayy better than Jeff Buckley's version. WTF?

- when he got his girlfriend pregnant.

- when i bled all over his shirt (through my nose) in the dark

- when he bit my lip and it swelled to three times it's size and I had to go to the emergency room, and later explain the incident in a staff meeting at work (thanks dani!!)

- when i realized he sounded really eerily like Richard Ramirez (the serial killer), and also, when I realized he was 34 and acted younger than me (18 at the time)

Okay, I'll think of more. But that's it for now. I'm drawing a blank.

Also, stealing from the Salvation Army is very, very bad karma.

Oh! Oh! Oh!  This is what I've been working on for the past few days! It'll be going up above my bed, pictures to follow when it does.

Zen, Karma, Renewal

From Left to Right: Zen, Karma, Renewal.

Update: YES!!! YESS!!!! BEST NIGHT EVER!!! Okay, to everyone who ever felt heartsick, brokenhearted, rejected, not worthy, cast aside, used, etc.   THIS IS THE MOMENT WE WAIT FOR.  We tell ourselves that we're over it, we tell ourselves that we don't care anymore but we do, don't we?  Secretly we ache and cry and idealize the man (or woman) whose rejected us as this person of neverending virtue.  We count their perfections and forget their imperfections and ponder what went wrong.  We lie awake thinking of what we could have done to cause a different outcome. Hurt turns to anger, and we want revenge.   I dreamed of becoming the hottest girl ever and learning guitar and every song that reminded me of him I fantasized playing up on a stage while people cheered and he cursed himself for ever letting me go.  Because inside I felt like I wasn't good enough now, that the only way I could get revenge was to be better.  But he just messaged me, and he remembered things about us that *I* had forgotten.  He told me how good the memories were and then he made innuendos at me.  Mr. having-a-baby-with-his-girlfriend.  What a sleaze.  You were right about him, you-know-who-you-are.  I still remember him as this great person so I will probably still talk to him and crap, but this obsession I tried to make everyone think was over IS over.  YES!!!!  And do you know what that means?!

In my life, I have been rejected three times.  Three times I have had these people confess to me afterwards how much of their own shit had caused the rejection.  It wasn't me!! It was them!!  Do you know what that means?!

Exactly!  I'm fucking awesome!!!!! 

Enough exclamation marks?!  FUCK YES!!! Best night ever.

Another Update: I put some music on here because I know you guys don't like it and I do and I'm happy and so there!!!! :D :D D:D:D::D:DD:D:D:D:D lol
