Cabo-Marlin Alley-Day 85-The Importance of Being Ernest

Image
The Hemingway International Billfish Tournament is one of the oldest big-game fishing tournaments...and then there is Baja, Mexico After Monday and Tuesday, all that's left in  Cabo is W T F, eh? If people concentrated on the really important things they'd be a shortage of fishing poles. The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic battle between an old, experienced fisherman and a large marlin. I feel like Santiago, going  84 days without catching a fish.

@ The Pacific Ocean-One Taste

Vegas Magic: Living Timelessly VEGAS MAGIC ✨ Living Timelessly in the Neon Light ✨ ★ I AM THE WAVES ★ I AM THE SUNSHINE ★ I AM THE SANDY BEACH ★ ONE TASTE ★ LIVING TIMELESSLY ★ I am not smart enough to be wrong all the time but whether I geographically move to Hawaii or psychologically just be reminded of what I feel when I am there, I keep breathing and keep #winning over death , not by living forever, but by living timelessly , by being present to the Present. As I wrote in 2007... "I don't see things as they are; I see them as I am." Right now, I don't see the waves, I am the waves , ...

New York -Me No So Ho

Image
 The ship has already sailed An Art(ist) Director cannot fail because to be one is a success. I  have all the airs and graces of an investor whose ceiling has become the floor. The Warhol's and Chagall's are marketed reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.  I worship the quicksand they walk on because I am not hung up on nostalgia, but just for now, I will pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time, believing, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy art which is kinda the same thing. The rich(er) galleries are different from yours and mine because they have more credit. And credit is is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five. New York, however, without serious money is an opinion. My opinion rolls up its sleeves and spits in the street. and swears. If  I attack the SoHo  establishment long enough and hard enough, they will make me a member of it, right? . Se...

An Eye For An Island-Living Well Is The Best Revenge

Image
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes  Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film. Thanks to digital, and my trusted camera, who cares. Just point and shoot, and you capture snapshots of moments. I'm an extremely talkative  person.  Yet I like taking pictures because  they speak for themselves.   MTness-Magic Thinking @ Sea In Photos----  2011 World Cruise Wish Fulfillment    and The  Law Of Attraction My definition of Thinking is when your  mind is separate from your  body: Some call it dreaming. I call it using your i magination. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.  That's when you can leap long distances,  go  forward and backward  in time, walk   through solid brick walls and never age,   My definition of Magical Thinking,  or MT, is when  we can manufacture experiences in our mind...

Thoughtful Travel is In

Image
Fear is for folks who don’t get out much Instant Gratification Takes To Long After spending 8 months a year for the last 10 years living out of a suitcase, it is easy to reflect on the value of thoughtful travel. I call it "Taking Yourself With You". There is no such thing as work-life-vacation balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. One rarely falls in love with people without being equally attracted to what is interestingly wrong with them. Travel, at its best is creative destruction. In the wisdom of the moment,the power of new  language, food and culture and people are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be lived. The whole exercise has to be reconciliation.Lowering, removing or shattering the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate we human beings, one from another. It's not so much about being understood as understanding. The Hunt For Happy-   is the longing for repetition. The difference between hope and despair...

Cabo Again- The Synesthetic Experience

Image
It's Deja Vu all over again. Cabo,Mexico is No Tahiti, no South Pacific, No Fiji...But I am hearing colors and seeing sounds of Guantanamera and La Bamba! Have you ever thought in a cross-sensory way? Have you ever tasted the universe? Synesthesia is a deeper form of regular consciousness. Of one taste.       On July 22nd I wrote: Fiji-Dravuni- Another Day Another  Island-Escape To Reality  For Sale/Sail    Economics 101  Fiji has over 300 islands- I have seen about 25 so far this trip. I'm concerned that "the wow factor" no longer applies. Yet if I take an imaginary a ride down Southern California's Carmageddon- Interstate 405, breath in some smog  while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I still want to escape to  MY reality--being in the South Pacific! I love the  Free Parking for all boats, ships and anything that floats. The Law of Diminishing Returns   is the theory that the more your experience something, the less effe...

ACROPOLIS NOW....The Horror!

Image
 The Greek economy is so bad, the currency is no longer the euro. It's the gyro.They better not stop production of humous and tzatziki and enter into  a double dip recession. Makes me think of the time and money I spent there... Ed Reif and James Hopkins; making the world safe for Hypocracy..er ..I mean Democracy in the cradle of Western civilization---Athens, Greece.
