Chasing The Blue Beyond

  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 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!

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.

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.

More like Blue Sky Fjords  205 inches of rain a year and not one drop today. A unique Alaskan experience— We took off from Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base,  and the self-proclaimed Salmon capital of the world---the place where people don't get old, they rust...and rust never sleeps. Up in the air for 30 minutes on the single engine "flying boat" and the small remote mountain lakes  we saw below would be next to impossible to reach on foot, a reminder that most of this area is still wilderness and accessible only by small boat or plane.  In the heyday, I could imagine how snail mail (US) delivery runs must have been done this way. Hey Hey, My My Yet they were spectacular by air, like waves  each one  more powerful than the next. Pilot Jeff Carlin, picked out one of the lakes, landed the "puddle jumper"  and  JC turned off the noisy diesel engine that was a reminder that we left  the  the buzz of everyday life. A kind of...
