Don’t Try This At Home…
I was getting some pictures taken in Rancho Palos Verdes yesterday. In the quest for a cool “yoga pose” my friend came up with the idea to have me balancing on a large, somewhat pointy, and not very level rock that was in the midst of a rocky shoreline. We’re talking things like Warrior III.
Now, I suppose we could blame him for this, except I was the idiot who had enough confidence in my balance poses to try it. I tried to shift my leg to the outside for aesthetic reasons and took a dive off the rock. Something to be said for surfing skills: From surfing in coral reefs I have this strange eye for finding landing zones amidst pointy protrusions and other hazards. I managed to navigate my way down between a bunch of rocks to some extremely rough pebbles. I could have easily broken a limb or two; instead, I bruised my big toe. It is now quite swollen and purple, but thankfully not broken. Hopefully the pictures will come out and I’ll have something exceptionally cool to show for my troubles…
