hasta la roscoe

I finally have spare time. I went to Trader Joe's and bought groceries, I went to the YMCA and swam laps. I'm sitting at the table with "the Biggest Loser" tv show on. Holy crap it is funny to be back in America and actually pay attention to the tv. Those Geico cavemen even have their own show. America kills me. My back has been a bit sore, probably because I'm an old man now and have been surfing so much. I went to this massage school today and got an hour-long massage, and now I'm feeling a lot better. I don't know why I never thought to do that sooner. I've been thinking a lot about work lately. Basically I've been thinking a lot about not working. It doesn't matter if I'm in Tamarindo or San Diego, all I really want to do is surf and mess around as an entrepreneur as a hobby, not as a job. I only want to do things that I enjoy, as we all should. I decided that the best thing to do (wait hold on, the fat crew from the biggest loser tv show has some insane challenge that I feel like I should watch for some reason) was to try to outsource absolutely everything that I (feel like I) need to do. I called my new friend in India KG to ask him what he thought. Well, actually, I didn't call him, I sent him an instant message. I've never met KG by the way. The next thing you know, I've got myself assigned a virtual assistant. A VA, as its called in internet work remote wonderland. You want to know what the best part about it is? My VA lives in India, where the time zone is the exact opposite as mine. So I get to make a "to do" list and go to bed, and when I wake up in the morning its all done. Whoa, that sounds like its too good to be true. I'm going to have to get creative with all of this extra time. So I got the I-phone today. I couldn't resist. I liked my little blackberry thing, but my thumbs were killing me from that little track ball thingy. I'm a caveman, yes. My virgin thumbs didn't get all hyped up on cell phones whilst living in Costa Rica. The I phone replaces my ipod, which is cool because mine only works when it wants to. It also has some good internet features. It is my plan to abandon my computer 75% of the time, within the next four weeks. I need to wean myself off of a desk, as a desk isn't much fun. Even a desk with a nice view is still a desk. I'm looking at where this world is going, and I want to go there with it, and not be behind a stupid desk. Hey, what about them Chargers, huh? Finally they decided to play some football. And then that Monday night football game where the Cowboys should have lost, I don't know how they pulled that off. I can't wait until Sunday again to see if the SD boys are for real. I believe in them, I think its the new coaching staff that they're getting accustomed to. But what the hell do I know? I don't. I'm looking at myself in the reflection of a Fluf cd (old school SD band) and I definitely need a haircut. I've gone caveman. I'm getting excited for next week, to get back to Costa Rica. Holly and Otis are already there. Our Alaskan Husky dog Roscoe of many years was finally put down yesterday. He had cancer for a very long time, and as I see it us adopting him gave him six years he probably wouldn't have had. Everyone knows Roscoe, he used to live at the surf camp and was the original surf camp mascot. But then people would step on him on accident and he'd bite the shit out of their legs, and I got worried that I was going to get sued for having some crazy dog in my business. So where do I put him? In my house of course. This began the "life with Roscoe" phase of life. And now he's gone. Its almost as if I'm entering the "post-Roscoe" phase of life. Well, anyways, see ya old buddy. I hope they have air conditioning up there. Holly tells me that the new yoga tent is really awesome. Its on the side lot and they made a nice wooden walkway to it. I'm excited because I'm learning about my shipping options, and now Costa Rica has agreed to enter CAFTA, so shipping things to the surf camp, and shipping goods from the surf camp to the rest of the world, is finally going to happen. I feel like since I've come back up here, I've slowly re-entered life in the 21st century. Living in Costa Rica for seven years and now trying to acclimate back to the US has taken some time. It still feels really weird and new. I guess I just need to get some warm water surf.
