<p>I&#8217;ve been in a funk lately, a funk that has been hard to get out of.  I have been unable to focus on anything really and it has been bugging me.  Then, Thursday night while mindlessly surfing the web or watching TV, I can&#8217;t remember which I realized that I needed to get out of the house and see nature.  I spoke with Molly and an after school excursion was planned for Friday.  It wasn&#8217;t anything crazy, just a trip to Sunset Cliffs to let the ocean breeze blow the funk away.   The early signs point to a successful defunckification, fingers crossed.  While enjoying the ocean breeze I was able to get a few nice shots.<a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="Beach Sunset-2" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthewparker/4101780605/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/4101780605_d3ae6688e7.jpg" alt="Beach Sunset-2" width="481" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>I was a little chilled sitting on the cliffs but then I saw several surfers enjoying a little defunkification of their own.  I warmed right up, and enjoyed the amazing sunset.</p>
