Shamu

So I have a funny story that is worth some note in this here blog. So the other night Martin, Seth and I were having a conversation about killer whales and what makes their fins flop over, I searched online and found the answer. I then was looking up Sea World, how much it would cost etc. I love Sea World! I've been their twice when I went to Disneyland and almost enjoyed Sea World better. I have a weird facsination with dolphins and whales they scare me but I think they're cool, it's hard to explain. In my search I found this website www.shamu.com it has a webcam where you can watch killer whales. I think it is just the coolest thing ever. (here's the funny part) I was with Seth and Martin they were watching tv and I was enthralled with watching "shamu" float around, and without thinking I said "I wish I was a whale." Seth just had a hayday. Saying things like oh you already are fat like one. I meant I wanted the life of the whale he looked so peaceful and carefree floating upside down and things. Anyway he told the family, and now I am the butt of everyones jokes, and since we are going to Lake Powell in a couple weeks I'll never hear the end of it. Check out the website though it's really breathtaking, they swim right up by the camera it's so awesome.

I too have a fascination with dolphins and killer whales and whales and most sea animals with dorsal fins. I know where you're coming from. And you are most certainly NOT a whale!
