Galveston-Sea Without Shore

Image
Cruising is not a fashion statement but a serious quest to renew love and power in my life. This is not love at first sight. This is love with insight. Love on $0 Dollars A Day, I can’t afford not to take the love vacation. Whenever I start is the right time, so today is the day I am going on a  permanent  love vacation! I don't see things as they are; I see them as I am. When I am able to  enlighten up, and tune in to  The Frequency  I  live in this vastness, swimming  in the ocean that mystics call ONE TASTE Love shows up all the time. At this point, I cannot avoid love in everyday life. I can only avoid seeing it. It is simple, free and easily available .My ultimate destiny is to turn my whole world into a love frequency. It is nothing short of ordinary. . The Horse Latitudes We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore  We can laugh our lives away and be free once more"   I  realize my soul is from elsewhere, and, ...

Houston-Big Hats No Cattle

Image
 Reprint: 10/2012 When I think Texas, I think Cows and Cowboy, a mashup of the Deep South and The Wild West but here in metropolitan Houston, it is impossible not reach the conclusion that this is the energy capital of the world. Evidence of the fossil fuels  workforce is everywhere. Down-to-earth, international, very friendly, Houston  has that water-cooler vibe where everything is petroleum based. Man In The Mirror- Zaza Hotel in the Museaum District It's easy to think that Exon Mobile and Shell are "Big Oil" but in reality, having traveled around the globe, most  of world oil reserves, and an even greater % of the remaining reserves of “easy oil” are held by national oil companies controlled by kings and  governements like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela ,Norway and Russia.

Las Vegas-Heads Up Redux

Image
Just the right amount of wrong- Burned   off the mass hysteria that permeated me  last time I was here- Vegas is actually a quieting xperience,  as if I have a different kind of nervous system I resemble  those guys This is The Ocean View @ Hooters Casino-where's the water? When Nietzsche thinks of Venice, he thinks of death-when I think of Vegas, I think of zombies, the living dead.  As a one-day instant tourist (I know both sides because I am both sides) it is clear that the end of Las Vegas  as a city of Vegans (is that a word?) is is upon us. I am art of the 80%ers-who stay less than 3 days in the place that’s not just visited by tourists, but inhabited by them. Guys like Steve Wynn, put the sin in sincere and the con in confidence. At the end of the day, Vegas has usurped its  own publicity. It produces and exports nothing. Sin City  has been using the  same business model: blending entertainment and informati...

USA-Achoo! Got Affluenza?

The AmeriCAN Dream is the hidden infrastructure that informs Yankee life. It’s an invisible narrative and nuanced web of beliefs and assumptions based on rational self interest in your limited circles of influence.   Cowboy French Fries That means even travel, can be re framed as gaining a sustainable competitive advantage, a private and personal investment.  I'm not  writing a blog post or a updating a FB status-  I am monetizing my  connections and building a personal brand.  The price is what I pay.The value is what I get. I paid the price for world travel, but the value is not in dollars. It's experiential. Everyone's life is either a warning or an example, but nothing is so irritating as a good example.The journey without distance from the head to the heart is the  sacred contract—a set of assignments our soul was meant to complete. Everyone must do it and no one can do it for you. You have to take risks or it i...

Marina Del Rey- Seek A Peak (Experience)

Image
Sustained Obsession When you lived so little you tend to imagine you’re not going to die. But wasting your time concentrating on death is like watching  a comedy  and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis.  I like entering THAT  magic field called “Eureka”  enjoying the sweet lightness of being when  you are the universe. My attitude creates my altitude  and that makes me longitude my gratitude. Let me 'splan: Longitude spans all seven continents and so have I.  Energy flow where attention goes. Sometimes, I get an incredible ROI, return on investment by being in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.

Thoughtful Travel-Outdoors 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...
