JT's Mexico.Sounds So Easy I Just Had To Go

Image
I hung out with Sarah Super Diver; She does deep sea fishing, snorkeling and diving. I was at : Rafael E. Melgar LB, Centro, San Miguel de Cozumel, Qr, at none other than Starbucks. A lot of tri-athletes are here for the Iron Man/ It's cool because PPL think I am here to compete.

Columbia-Brandy You`re A Fine Girl

Image
From Shakira whose hips don`t lie to the Calli Cartel, who make heads roll, wherever I go here I am... in Cartagena now... I go for my first cup of JOEse and Juan Valdez rewards me with (3) $20 bills on the street, probably counterfeit! That`s right. I found sixty bucks. It looks like I am on The Divine Payroll again... Then I took a tour of the old city, and the castle and church standard stuff...

ABC-A is for Aruba

Image
ABC-Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao: You can bet on it. As good as it gets, all of these Caribbean islands have white sandy shorelines with the same New Yorkers you might be fighting with for parking spaces back home only this time it's beach chairs. They speak a lot more Dutch here (in Aruba) than I expected. There's a lot of casinos, and a lot of the online poker/sportsbook sites who set up -offshore-shops. Maybe more will be here after the Dec 1 deadline for online gaming, when mostly all banks won't take deposits from American players . (December 1st, the date by which the financial services industry in the United States must fall into line with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act ( UIGEA ). B is for Bonaire, and I won't be headed there this time around. Then there is "C" , Curacao, pronounced Curaçao. It is a quintessential port town with lots of activity and a quasi European feel, If you ever wished palm trees in Holland and 80 degree Januaries; c...

Curacao-The Dutch West Indies

It ain't much if it ain't Dutch Ten Years ago I came here with fifty dollars and left with $300. Now that's how they vacation in The Netherlands or is this Venezuela? They sell the paradise experience real well here. I was at : De Rouvilleweg, Willemstad,

Grand Cayman Banksters

Image
Where Wall Street Meets Main Street Overworked, Overpaid, Over here The Cayman Islands, the world’s biggest hedge-fund venue and fifth-biggest bank center offer a " full range" of offshore financial services and products. No need to hide your money under the matress here- It's wash and go! Yet, it seems like this place needs a US bailoutand some bonus money too. I'm not feeling the "tax me if you can" neuroeconomics vibe here. How cool I get to witness the demise of the offshore Tax Haven Industry. I thought places like Grand Cayman would leave a mark in "Wealth Preservation". They will be lucky to make a stain. PPL people are pissed off, mad, and bent out of shape at investment bankers. The traders, "strats" and "quants", the mathematical reptilian brains who came up with cryptic trading formulas, shot "interest rate swaps", "no credit defaults", "regular vanilla and extra crispy options; and their coun...

Headlines- Q Balls by choice In the beginning, there was Michael.Jordan was the poster guy for the perfectly bald man. He made shaving cutting edge. He took 'the shaved skull' from social outcast to rock star chick magnet status. The follicly challenged started doing the numbers . Shaved head= Shiny, Smooth and Sexy. You could count on being noticed. Me no hair Is bald beautiful? Perhaps. Is bald a high end haircut? Maybe. One thing for sure, Bald is a hair color. If you want to make the statement that says, I run my own life. Shave your head and join the Union! Me no hair is a walking, breathing billboard and bullhorn that shouts, "I've got other plans" to the "Have a nice day" retail speak, and the SNL's (Saturday Night Live's) flight attendant "Ba-Bye" sketch. Be Brave and Shave! "Getting Kojack-ed" was made popular by 1970's TV star, Telly Savalas. Who loves ya baby? We do---the perfectly bald. Yul Brynner was the qui...

This is your Brain on French Fries

Mc Donalds Is Hiring At Gitmo! Out of work and willing to relocate, McDonalds is looking for shift man agers at GITMO! to flip hamburgers . Ronald sez, "The McDonald's franchise at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba is looking for an assistant manager. The ideal candidate will have previous restaurant management experience, a valid U.S. passport and a willingness to relocate to Cuba. As I sail by the Northwest point of Cuba, Ed sez "Give me the ball. Put me in Coach!" I have always dreamed of that perfect place in the sun, working for one of the world's largest companies on the planet and enjoying tax -free income. Camp X Ray sounds awesome! hanging out with Jihad Joes and Generation Terrorists. Six degrees from Mohamad Atta. Yes even the 215 detainees, can make take-out orders for Big Macs and Happy Meals! I guess those days of nation building, taking all the angry PPL from Iran and Iraq, and giving them their own country-Irate, are over. The Cuba Express Car...

Being Chuck Noland Ed Reif is a time-obsessed FedEx systems analyst, who jets around the world resolving productivity problems. After his plane crashes, he is given up for dead. Stranded alone on a desert island, his only companion is Wilson, a volleyball. Knowing he must get back to the mainland, Ed builds a crude raft and heads out to sea because he still has one more package to deliver.

Fat Elvis Sightings Down In Jamaica

Image
Red Stripe Beerfest Boom= Listen Up As I approach the gateway to the tropical heaven, I got Bob Marley in my ears. Summing up The Bob Mood- he assures me, Every thing's Gonna be alright , Yet if Vegas is where neon goes to die, then this is certainly the resting place of "Legend" and "One Love" Bob Marley Nostalgia. The music still stands the test of time, and Bob Marley is an American Idol, but the country needs an extreme makeover. Think Fat Elvis belting out a few lines of My Way--Karaoke Elvis, a cheap imitation of himself. And so it is with Jamaica, like a hound dog with a few miles left, loyal to the end--providing tourists with the ganja, the rum, the HBO (Hair Belonging To Others) $10 hookers and the rasta vibe. "So what do you want?" gets asked a hundred times as I walk the gauntlet in Ocho Rios. I'm feeling Cambodia, Thailand and Turkey pushing at me all at the same time. Thank god there are no carpet merchants. Even Rolling Stone's...
