#hashtag everything #___________________ #ACL

May was my last post on here....crazy how time flies. 
Took a couple of months off of exercise due to a skateboarding injury.  I guess I took some time off from everything else too.
I will be making up for it over the next few weeks with more posts.
# hashtag appears to be the hot topic these days.
I use them on occasion in hopes of getting my twitter follower count over 500.  As my wife points out often - 'you don't know 10% of the people that follow you'.  She's right, I don't but it doesn't stop me from sharing my opinion with the rest of the world.
Started working from home a few days a week and it is very challenging.  I am use to having 100+ people in/out of my office with questions.  It's quieter here for sure and my dog likes her multiple walks.
Patio garden is going strong.  Fern has come back to life and bougainvillea is blooming again.  Life is good.
Heading to Austin City Limits music festival in a couple of weeks and cannot wait.  Love the City of Austin and the people are amazing everywhere you go.

If you have never been, I highly recommend it.  A month later Formula 1 is in Austin so I should just stay there!  The city continues to grow and develop...perfect for young and talented people.
I am considering a kickstarter account and ask everyone at the concert for a $1 donation.  I could walk away with a couple thousand dollars and pay for the entire trip!
Am I too proud to beg....not really if it gives me a little extra in the college fund.

 Great beach south of Rio.  Took the son here for the first time.
Great to experience so much together.
Life is good live it and have no regrets.

New Moon Rising

Every single day our son is growing and learning new things.  He retains everything he sees and hears which is also amazing. 
Life is good, matter of fact it's perfect.
Hurt my ankle skateboarding at www.skatelab.com and it's taking over a month to heal.  Guess I'm not as young as I use to be. 
Wife and son are back from over 2 months of travel so super happy about that.
Bruins are in the playoffs and looking good.
Food in the fridge.  Gas in the car.  Can't really complain about things.
Take care world wide web..see you next time.

Happy Earth Day!!

Have you checked you're families impact on slaves?  Slaveryfootprint.org http://slaveryfootprint.org can help you better understand your impact on the people of this world that we share.
Remember today is Earth Day and there is only 1 Earth.  As far off these humans live they are still connected through land and water.  We can reach them and they can reach us; something they touched in some way was transported to you.  From the jungles of Congo to the factories of China to the transportation from Canada, these items are come to you. 
Would winning the lottery cause a quantum leap into another universe?  Will it transport you to a new reality?  A reality you have dreamed of your entire life....the fancy sports car, the travel, the conversation with your boss, the future? 
Looking into worm castings...don't recall a big worm market in Anchorage but those who do buy can get the best worms from us...worms that have been feasting on our green waste...Reinventing the Earth...by using worm castings to recycle our food we use the food we waste to grow the gardens to feed us....good for municipal usage (flower beds, playgrounds, baseball fields), golf courses, restaurants, and home usage.
It does no harm and because the soil is so rich it needs less water and is more resistant to pests and insects.  

I spy Lixia and Jeff.  Mammoth March 2013

Rio de Janerio 2013 2nd trip and 4th overall to Brasil

Finally got to see my loving wife, went to bed, woke up, then got to see my son.  Great trip and so happy that I got to see and be with the people I got to spend time with.  Feeling of happiness while I was there.

Sensory overload where you want to take it all in. 
Welcome to the Atlantic Ocean son!!  Baptized in many ways including in the church. 
Now that I am home....alone...I miss them more.  Can't wait for our next adventure and quality time as a family.  So happy this has been an extended visit and blessed that we can make it happen. 
Love it all

More fun in the water.  Great last day and super mom made this such a perfect trip.  Before super mom she was super wife!!

Can't wait to be all back together. 

Travel, time off, parenting, and other things

The wife and son are miles away and have been for over 2 weeks.  Only 2 months more until their visit with family is over..so happy that I get to visit in a month.
First week away I went for 2 good bike rides and a round of golf.   The next week I went snowboarding at www.mammothmountain.com where I stayed at http://www.sunstonemammoth.com/ in room 331.  Great conditions and so much fun!!  Right on the mountain - ski in/ski out.  Hot tub and pool couldn't be better.  5 hour drive to Mammoth and that's really where you miss your partner.  The conditions would have been perfect for her - soft, groomed, sunny.  She would've ripped up the trails!!
More biking and more golf planned.
Food choices change up a bit when the wife isn't around - more wings and pizza.
Looking forward to seeing them again but enjoying the time away.
Maybe it's because I spent many years single so I'm ok with it.

Dorner, Taxes, Police, Great Plastic Garbage Patch

Just finished by 2012 taxes and it was less than exciting.  I am paying more in taxes in 1 month than my total return for the year.  I'm starting to understand that Bill Cosby post on Facebook...the one about I work hard yet I have to give my money to people not willing to put in the same effort.  I used the help at one point so I am thankful it's available.  There is more government waste that needs to be fixed over helping a fellow American.  I'd be happy to give up part of my check if it really did go towards the greater good.  I then read the next post down on Facebook....this one is about Congress and Senators salaries when they retire and it compares them to teacher etc...pretty sad how corrupt our system is.  I think I will start looking for a gov't gig again...great pay and impossible to get fired from it. 
What's up with this Dorner dude - he's gonna kill some cops for sure.
The first Pope in 600 years to step down???
Ok back to business ideas.
What about buying a big wood chipper and instead of chipping wood you breakdown plastic?
Set up bins to blow a specific grade of plastic into the shredder.  By breaking it down to smaller pieces another plastic company can melt it down to a liquid for whatever use it wants.  I don't think you can get a lot of money for plastic though.  Which means you'd need a lot of plastic to cover your costs and possibly squeak up a living.  Would be cool to go to landfills and just empty all of the plastic out and see it reused.  Or that Great Plastic Garbage Patch floating around in the middle of the ocean...can't we do something with that material? 
I was thinking of a bread shop to sell Pao de queijo cheeze bread.  Taste good, possibly some home delivery.  Probably have to set up shop in the Hermosa or Manhattan Beach...think there is a bigger Brazillian population there. 
Anything to get some breaks like the corporations do.  I know the biz would need to be set up in Nevada that's for sure.  Possibly have an operation in Vegas too.
Helps to write this stuff to put out in the universe so that it hopefully comes true.
Hello Thomas...hope you are feeling better.  It's cold outside. 
Spread the word and carry on. 

 

GenX, Senior Citizens, and Social Security

***This is meant to be funny***
Everyone who reads this should re-post, Reddit, twitter, and anything else to spread the word.

I think I solved the problem of aging, retiring, baby boomers...
We need to get a lawyer to figure out what safe white collar crime they can commit to stick them in prisons.
Old people who can't afford to live in a nursing home or retire comfortably can take advantage of the prison systems.  By committing a non-violent white collar crime they can stay in the comfy white collar prisons.  House our seniors to lessen the burden on tax payers that will have to carry them on our backs with 1/2 the number of people to do it.  They have not planned ahead and helped put us further in the hole. 
By committing a crime they can live safely in a controlled environment, get 3 meals a day, be around their peers.  They will have free dental, medical, education, and of course very good security.  Your family will always know where you are and can visit anytime. 
Maybe they can remove the non-violent younger prisoners to nursing homes to make room for the influx of new 'aging' prisoners. 

They're not going anywhere so being locked up is not so bad.  They will also get free cable, haircuts, and all utilities covered.  They will have no monthly bills and their social security checks can go back into the system to cover their expenses. 
So if your old and have little to no money get out there and commit a simple non-violent crime.  Free place to live, friends all around, free food, free medical???? Sounds like the best retirement home around who's in???

Toyota Prius drivers please slow down

Why does everyone that owns a Prius feel the need to drive extra fast?  Are they trying to prove that their little 4 cylinder cars are fast and cool?  They're not getting gas mileage with this behavior.  I live in SoCal and seriously, just about everyone has a Prius.  It's like 1995 when everyone had to have an SUV only now it's better for the environment.  Speaking of which, what's up with Bangkok???  The air is like the USA back during the Industrial Revolution...shouldn't they learn from our mistakes?
Anyway - Prius owners - cool your jets or your jet engines.  You're in a hurry to go nowhere and living in SoCal you are going to hit traffic so don't rush to become traffic.  You are putting everyone at risk!!
