getting a handle on things

August 28th, 2007

Its kind of funny to be going through what I’m going through, having come back to the US and all. A few people close to me, or I guess not so close as to ask me this, have asked if I’m planning on telling everyone that I’ve moved back to San Diego. I can only guess that they mean that because I am moving back (if thats what you want to call it) I am …

another great start to another great day

August 27th, 2007

There is something quite amazing about having a family. Even after all of the movies and tv shows and tv commercials with mommy doing the dishes and daddy washing the car, and the kids running around the house, and me saying “why the hell is everyone so happy” I now know why. This morning was unique in no way whatsoever, and to make every day start off as awesome as this morning did…well, thats just …

August 23rd, 2007

Its been quite a few days since I’ve written my last blog, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like a fish out of water. Living in the middle of the jungle and then living in a commuting, consuming city is quite an extreme. I’d like to say that I’m residing part time in Central America and part time in California these days, and its going well. People have asked me if …

Using blogs to increase communication, and therefore business awareness

August 14th, 2007

what is a blog? A blog, officially called a web log, is simply a website controlled by a content management system that allows authors like me to update information online as often as we want without having to rely on IT guys, web designers, or any real programming experience. how does a blog compare to a normal programmed website? Depending on the use of the blog, it may or may not be apparent that what …

Safer than driving

August 14th, 2007

Last night around 9pm I decided that today would be a good day to travel back to San Diego. The rain was really starting to depress me for some reason, probably because I was missing Holly and Otis. Holly and I are about to visit a doctor to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl, which is crazy exciting and probably one of the reasons why I’ve been so anxious to get …

jumping another plane

August 13th, 2007

I’m getting tired of all of this traveling, in the last three and a half weeks I’ve flown five times and driven 2500 miles, tomorrow I fly to San Diego. Holly doesn’t know yet, hopefully its a good surprise and not a “crap! daddy came home and ruined all the fun” kind of thing

I’m getting bored of work

August 13th, 2007

Yes, its true. Just like you, I get sick of my job too. I’ve been sitting on my couch with my laptop since 9:30am this morning meeting with Colin regarding the new Witch’s Rock Surf Camp website. I am so sick of talking about it, my head literally won’t take any more. When I woke up this morning there was a guy on tv who had implanted a chip in his arm and was using …

its 2AM and your arm is bleeding

August 12th, 2007

As you know, I’ve just returned to Tamarindo from being gone for three weeks. There was a new guy named Steve who was working at the front desk, actually a really cool guy. He is married to a tica who is quite hot, and I guess pretty interested in other guys from what Steve says. I get back to Witch’s Rock Surf Camp from Bill and Emily’s wedding and post party, its about 2AM, and …

my head still hurts

August 12th, 2007

The current time is 12:31am, so I guess its already Sunday and not Saturday. Bill and Emily’s wedding was a success despite the rain showers, and I’m still feeling it 24 hours later. When you mix champaign with beer with rum with copious amounts of marijuana and then sleep it off on the most uncomfortable couch known to mankind you’ve got last night just about summed up. Now that I’m back in Costa Rica I …
