This morning while I was surfing I was thinking about monsters again. I think about monsters a lot. I was thinking mostly about King Kong and also a little bit about Godzilla. I was wondering what their hobbies are.
Usually you can only see them running around stomping on things with their big monster feet. That is their job, but after work, maybe they play baseball, or surf, or look at their stamp collection.
The waves today were only 2-3 ft (1 meter). They would be too small for Godzilla and King Kong. They would only come up to King Kong's monkey toe. Kong and Godzilla would need 60 foot waves just to surf head high. There are only a few places in the world with waves that big, and they only break a few times each year. So, King Kong and Godzilla would have to travel all over the world and neither of them can fly, and they are too big to fit in a 747 and too poor to buy a ticket anyway. They would have to swim and by the time they got to the spot, the waves might have gotten smaller, or they might be too tired and cold.
They would also need a 60 foot surfboard, or maybe 90 feet if they wanted a longboard. It would take a lot of trees or fiberglass to make it. They would have to hire a lot of people to build it, and neither of them have a job because of the recession.

Sometime I make a list with two columns "why I want to be a monster"and "why I don't want to be one". This is one of the reasons why I would not want to be a monster.

There are monsters everywhere. Monsters are all around us all the time, but sometimes you have to look very closely to find them. I found Toby, the monster in the photo above, living inside of a foam mat. It's a foam mat that you place under your bed for extra comfort....So Toby is the monster under your bed.

Can you see Toby? The swirly circles are his eyes, and he has a little triangle nose. I am going to draw a picture of Toby soon. Maybe i will give it to him for his birthday, I think it's in December. His birthday is close to X-mas, so I have to think of two gifts to get him. It's not so easy.

My friend found this monster on the bottom of my t-shirt. I washed my hands and wiped them on the shirt, and this photo shows the wet spot. When the shirt is wet, it reveals the monster who lives inside it. His name is Motoaki. You can only see his right eye (the white dot) because he is closing his left eye to wink at you. the big white rectangle is his mouth. and he has tiny little legs. You can see his full right leg, but only half of his left. This is because he is bending part of his left leg and doing a yoga pose. It was morning, and he always does yoga in the morning. He is a very health conscious monster.

I didn't even know that he was living in my shirt until my friend pointed him out to me. Now whenever I am wearing that t-shirt and feeling lonesome, I just moisten it and he comes out to visit me.

Do you have photos of any monsters you have met? Please send them to me.
