The Best Week of the Year

Happy Shark Week, everyone!

It's one of my favorite things, and I look forward to it again and again. What can I say, I'm kind of a nerd; but it's the best kind of nerd to be, let's be honest about that.

Sharks are so fascinating! They are amazing in every way: their anatomy, their senses, their shear power. I mean, wow. No wonder the Discovery Channel gives them a whole week all to themselves every year. Plus, who isn't fascinated with the ocean? Have you ever stood on a beach and just looked out across the never-ending ocean to the horizon and felt a universe of wonder fill you? Beneath that whole expanse is a mystery. It's full of majestic, beautiful, and strange creatures. Even its geography is mesmerizing. Okay, I got a little carried away. Moving on.

I've had the unfortunate experience of missing Shark Week for the last two years. Believe me, it was agonizing both times. I shouldn't complain too much since I was at jump rope camp and such, but still. Lucky me, I have nothing to distract from it this year. Except for the fact that I presently have no cable or satellite. But don't worry because I am quite capable of using the internet and spending many an hour on the Shark Week website.

Today, I had an epiphany there. It went a little something like this: why on earth have I not thought about getting a Shark Week shirt? You understand my silliness up to this point. So I am quite resolved to acquiring one at this time in my life. I've discussed the matter thoroughly with Jenna via text messaging and it's decided. We are getting Shark Week t-shirts. End of story. Can't wait till we get them!

Until then, I'll occupy myself by watching Sharkman. And perhaps you should go enjoy some Air Jaws or something. Air Jaws is definitely favorite.
