What do mermaids, the apocalypse and Mr. Potato Head have in common?
They were all part of Coney Island’s sand sculpture contest on Saturday, July 21, 2012. Young and old, skilled and unskilled, professional and amateur all took shovel, pail, and imagination to turn a strip of beach into a wondrous, sandy sculpture garden.
Sadly, I missed out on this event but for sure I will go next here. Below are 3 videos from this contest. I think everyone can agree that some of this is impressive stuff.
I was a nerd before being a nerd was cool. My parents was always busy with something so they kept me entertained with video games, TV, movies and magazines. I grew up on that and to this day I still love it. In high school I went though a stage were I tried to hide the things I liked to make new friends. It worked but I was disappointment in myself but then senior year I meet a guy named Rimmy. When I first saw him I thought that he was a total geek and a loser. I did not want to be seen with him cause I felt he would ruin my image. In photo class the teacher put us as partners and after talking with him for a while I realized that we had a lot in common. Long story short, Rimmy made me realize that it is ok to show what you like. The things that you love make you who you are and there is no shame in that. Thanks to Rimmy for giving me the idea for "My Nerd Blog". He moved to California and I lost contact with him but I hope he is doing well. My Nerd Blog is not about glorifying the nerd life style it is about showing what we love cause this is who we are, not who we want to be.
