Fiji-Escape TO Reality

Image
  Coming  home to a place I've never been before.   It's Fee-Gee (Fiji) Hiow did I end up in a place like this? Favoritism. John Denver visited this island today-Sunshine On My Shoulders.  You can't get any further away before you start coming back.Imagine sailing across the blue waters of the South Pacific, passing by idylic islands, teeming with exotic fish and majestic coral reefs--Oh wait I don't have to use my imagination because what you see is what you get. Bula.                                                                                                                                     OMG I'm a Country Boy The Law of Diminishing Return...

Hawaii- Go East Young Man

Image
Hawaii was the experience that answered all my questions about time-it didn't exist. Everything is NOW on a ship, and the only easy day is YESterday. On The Pacific Ocean, I may not have been Mr Right, but I felt ok being Mr Right Now. When we would dock off   Kona  or  in Kauai,  I was in the MOment. It was only in the "Mainland"  where My Aloha Vibe got distracted with Caffeine and the Malls, and I was on default. just another Haole--- the other. not a true person from here. In the South, they don't care how you do it Up North-in Hawaii, they just don't care- I met "adults" who never wore pants-just shorts, flip flops. Aloha Friday and Naked On The Set  Tuesdays-Oorah!

Huna-Helped By Hidden Hands

Image
I showed up In Hawaii and magical things began to happen.  It all started with the simple decision-to go.   I lived what  Campbell calls, "The Soul's High Adventure" I've been riding  (on) a/the wave ever since. I wrote on 8/27/2007 ... Being T/here in Hawaii has put me in a unique space ..  ... that supports personal exploration, oneness and the mystical experiences of Huna, the Shamans about manifesting and tapping into "mana" "Chi" also known as the life force. One of the most important aspects of this entire approach is getting in touch with the Higher Self. According to the Huna knowledge, once this connection is made, amazing coincidences will start occurring in your life--and I can affirm, They Did! The Aloha Spirit is a well known reference to the attitude of friendly acceptance.Bless everyone and everything that represents what you want! That's all there is to it. An Ancient secret for modern living. It vitalizes. It starts with sacrif...

Veritus-You shall know it, but first it will piss you off:. Harvard Business School is the West Point of capitalism.The  rest is just Karaoke, cheap imitations.   Ponzi Diploma Mill We guys from The 80's  got in early reaped the rewards, spread the buzz that "You need a college degree". As more ppl went, tuition went up, student  loans soared.P yramid schemes punish  those late to the party.  The Bernie Madoff of investing in yourself scandal   is a B.A. from a Liberal Arts, Technical, Beauty or Fashion School. Khao San University in Bangkok-Get a US Degree for $20 Bucks!  I definitely over-paid for my diploma!You give them money.  They give you a degree. Just spell your name on this  piece of paper. They'll print you up a diploma  No tests.No Books .Nobody is turned down.  FADE IN:  At the boat house, Row, row, row, your boat gently down the stream...life is but a dream...One year ago today, July 25,2012, I was...

New Hampton, New Hampshire

Image
Sunshine State, Empire State, Aloha State-Wimps compared to New Hampshire's Motto: Live Free or Die. It was named after England. So it was the 'New' England. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,Rhode Island and Connecticut. The Bigger the Summer Vacation, the harder The Fall The last time I was on the East Coast,  was April 2010,  onboard  the Costa Atlantica,  on our way  across the Atlantic. We  hugged the shoreline up to Quebec City and then over to (Old) England. In New England, we stopped  in Norfolk, VA, The birthplace of Naval History; Washington. D.C.; Newport, RI;  Boston MA and Bar Harbor Maine.  Pahk the Kah In Harvard Yard This is the first time I have been on land in New Hampshire. Looking forward to seeing some amazing natural beauty. 

I've Been to The Mountain Top(s)

 The Promised Land Is Right Where You Are When you are following your bliss My universe is made of stories, not atoms: land, air and sea travel and the power of now. If I wanted to be a multinational soul, and  leverage   my best asset,me,  I couldn't do it in cities where I lived like New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo or Paris  alone-I needed to get consecrated by sailing on the oceans. letting your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic. It's a wonderful thing to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some  place where you don't know anyone; where, as Melville said,"God's one and only voice is Silence." The sceneries  paint  themselves.  I'm just the middleman.   You can't create experiences like this, you undergo them. If a man speaks in the forest and there are  no women around to hear it, is he still wrong? Living on a ship, might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria.  It...

Alaska-The Great Land-Action Plan

Being There Wow What a Summer-Alaska is a lot like pizza. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good; and like the Pizza Guy, Alaska always delivers. Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe videos.  Nature's living mirror,  however is water---whether still or in motion, The most beautiful landscapes go  better with H 2 Ooooooooh!  The Happy go Locals don't tan, they rust, and if they smoke, they smoke salmon.The  cruisers  who inhabit this place for 6  hours a day  may have come on different ships, but they are all in the same boat-Mother Nature's.  Here are my top 5 Videos: Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean-John Muir Write? Right!
