Apocalypse (Not) Now- Santa Monica

Rest In Paradise



 


  



The future is so bright even for dogs
 who have to wear sunglassses

  Let this blog serve as a guide to surviving the  2012 Mayan apocalypse.If they only knew how many people they freaked out by running out of room to write on that rock. I gotta wear shades. Why wait for 2020 to have a perfect vision:



The whole aim of travel is not to set foot on exotic land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as an exotic land...

And I thought 2010 was a good year: When I wrote  Santa Monica-Whip It Good

The future is full of possibilities that I must constantly shoot in the head, because if you want something GR8, you must be able to limit yourself.

 Normal people  need three things to travel-Time, Money and Opportunity.


As an abnormal person doing abnormal things---It has never been about resources. You see, I am the Bobby Fisher of resourcefulness, the Cosmo Kramer of planning , the Curious George of predictable unpredictability. >note to self< Rock on man with the yellow hat, rock on.



No matter how low the budget bar gets, I always manage to limbo my way under it. If you think about it, I am the Wilt Chamberlain of shoe-string  travel. I'm putting up numbers so unthinkable that normals will never, ever reach them.-300 ports in 365 days.


Why Be A Man When You Can Be A Success?
As the Morgan Freeman of travel writers , if you will. Everyone recognizes me but I never gain any due recognition., Hotel @nyware hasn't exactly  been the Edgar Allen Poe of knock-outs, the Emily Dickinson of ground n pound, the Robert Frost of ass-kicking.


It's just me, born with a Ph.D. in throwing junk up against the wall, and seeing what will stick.Looking back, it's been the Colonel Kurtz of experiences. I've gone native and insane so many times, but in a Lance Armstrong Barbara Bush sort of way. Sometimes I am the census taker, sometimes, the cannibal psychiatrist.  Roll Tape...

When a good time turns around, You must whip it , You will never live it down, Unless you whip it.  No one gets their way, Until they whip it-Devo
