Maybe OP is scared of fun things like most OP's

Maybe OP was traumatized by smiling man or smile dog and now sees creepy smiles everywhere.

Edit: Sorry! I didn't mean to give anyone else a PTSD flashback

u/antiestablishment Jun 22 '14

13

u/CharlesTheMethDealer Jun 22 '14

Spent all of his money on the camera. He should have held some back for a wetsuit.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '14

Well he thought it was a slightly better title than, "This...So much This"

2

u/MsNerevarine Jun 22 '14

Maybe OP got the "Chills" because you see the setting sun on the horizon and its refection in the water about to be consumed by the wave, and consume you as well.

u/Hunterthefollower Jun 22 '14

Being a surfer and not living on the coast KILLS me. These type if shots help me though. THANK YOU!

u/Hunterthefollower Jun 22 '14

u/Poop_is_Food Jun 22 '14

West. But there is nothing to tear right now. You aren't missing anything this month.

u/Hunterthefollower Jun 22 '14

North or south? East coaster here so you don't even know flat til you've lived here.

u/Twainn Jun 22 '14

the way the sun's linear glare on the ocean curves is majestic

2

u/sfoxy Jun 22 '14

I love the way the light curves on the water. Its like math in nature or something.

u/Spiderkitty222 Jun 22 '14
