Saying goodbye to beautiful places sucks…

​

​

Welcomed warmly to Brazil…

About last year in the Philippines…

Living and Diving FreeStyle in an Island Paradise in South of Asia. Gotta do this again and again…

Shot out to Ritesh…

Co-Pilot

Amazingly it never fails… 

food + car ride = sleeping co-pilot

IJS and SMH…

Gotta do the Big Blue!

Here we go… Two days of fishing back to back… 

Day 1 – Solo

Day 2 – Hanging out with my buddy Javi​​

​

Just a Ride!

Sometimes the coolest thing is to escape into nature and JUST RIDE!

Serenity 

I found a place in existence that rests between here and there. 

It’s a subtle place dusted and painted with grey, orange, and blue. 

Its a place that is ever present, 

But can only be seen at a distance, clearly visibly but yet intangible. 

It pleases me and provides release and reflection. 

It holds my souls eye captive and my imagination hostage. 

I’m transformed by its willingness to invade my appreciation. 

I can feel its serenity as a continuous stream of peace and tranquility. 

It touches me from afar in the most intimate of ways. 

Its strength immerses itself into the depths of my heart and mind, 

And I graciously and willingly grant permission.
This place ever so gracefully changes before my eyes,

As a continuous stream of wonder serenity and joy.

I willingly yield my worries to it and hasten to deliver my stress at its alter.

I dare not look away! 

Being captivated and captured over and over by both the detail, abstract, and cadence,

Its searches my soul making and planting eternal promises that delight me.

This place screams at me with its soft voice shoving my will into places of joy.

I am enticed by its depth and kind offering of all things good.

Now suspended and entranced, hope and desire fills all vacant places in my soul.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Join me when you can, I’ll be here for a while… 

Sports Spirit Lifted

So normally I do not post about professional sports on this blog but on this rare occasion I will… I am a suffering Dolphin fan and have been since the beginning of time itself. Yes, all the way back from the Big Bang or Creation (which ever you choose to believe). And as a suffering fan each and every year we seem to get excited about a the prospects of our team only to be disappointed once the season starts. Well this year is no different. I still find myself on the edge of my seat each game, praying and trying to will a Fins victory. 

I was asked today why I don’t just pick another team? I looked at this person as I have in the past in amazement that they would even consider this an option at all. I’m actually shocked that is even in the deck of cards as an option to be played. Like many suffering DolFans we simply cannot fathom the thought of jumping ship. Now yes, there are a rare few that don’t have green and orange coursing through their veins, but they aren’t real fans anyway (sell outs). Today I wore my colors because I screamed at the TV on Sunday and the Fins heard me. After a complete shut out for 3 quarters, the Fins found a way to pull off two TD’s in the final five minutes of the final quarter to take the lead and win. Yay Fins!!!

Now there is no deep meaning that I plan to extract or some novel phylisophical revelation ready to drop and shatter your concept of reality. No, there is only that I, a suffering DolFan is feeling pretty good our comeback win and a 5 game winning streak. So there, I said it!
Lets go Dolphins!!!

On My Way… Big Blue

Gots-Tuh-Get’em!!!

 

Getting it ready…

I am sooooo looking forward to getting out on the Big Blue… so a good clean up in preparation for dragging baits tomorrow is well underway… 

It’s all about the Salt Lyle Baby!!!

Mr. Powel, are we gonna do this or what?

Lil Bro Video – Phillipines

What a time, what a time!!!

Life is full of adventures that are intended and unintended. For me and this dude (Ritesh), we are both determined to live a purposes life full of intention. And yes, along the way we will also make the best of and enjoy the unintended adventures as well. 

MEMORIES AND MOMENTS!!

​

My new lil-Bro 

Just click the link below!!! Enjoy!

Bro’s Po Panda Ha

My beloved “Dampa”…

You just can’t make this stuff up… And it was sooooooooooo goood!  Mmmmmmm…

Philippine Adventure

I have to admit that this has been a. Truly full trip to the Phillipines. Today I am on yet another great adventure. And where do we start??? 

“Jillibee” of course!!


And the next stop of course would be Starbucks. Yep, it’s a minimum mandatory stop. Don’t judge me!!

Traffic Navigator

Once again in traffic with the Great Ritesh! If he can’t do it, it can’t be done…

Mumbai and now Manila. His value and worth has been realized! 

Her… 

Her….

Her presence invokes all that’s good in me, therefore I am bound to set a ripe example.

Her existence makes me smile in the most torrent of situations.

When my focus is coupled with moods intense, Her embrace ushers calm.

I treasure Her like sight.

Because of Her, my vision is purpose and clear with certainty.

My reasoning is filtered pure by Her passion and compassion for the good in life.

I will deny Her no good thing.

I Love Her

My Daddy and I…

Not allot of words require….

I LOVE MY DAD (POPS)!!!

At times like this… 

At times one needs to release desire without restriction in order to…

  • go where you must go
  • to have what you must have
  • to touch what you must touch
  • to taste what you must taste
  • to feel what you must feel
  • to take what you must take

At times conquest is therapeutic and in the end you can mount up and say to yourself, “yeah, I did that”!

Reminiscing… 

For those that know me I often speak of “Memories & Moments”. Well here is a good one. Sometimes it’s not so much the company, but it’s actually the people that breed loyalty…

Work out in Manila

“I work out like this, I work out like this…”

   
    
   

Somewhere in the Philipines…

And that’s all….

#pleadthefifth, #nunah

16 hr flt… WTFudge???

Yeah, just boarded and now the real journey begins. Can’t you tell I’m so excited…. Humph!

At least I have a couple of toys! Yay me!

  

JFK Airport Caipirinha 

Really??? Been to Brazil and this AIN’T no Caipirinha!!!
Anyway, they made up for it with their Lobster Quesadillas!! Mmmmmmmm….

  

~30 hrs of travel….

And so it begins… 

  

Business Travel Flow…

Not sure what this is so funny to me. Click link for video.
Check it out, moving between gates…

 

 
Business travel is sometimes funny IF, and only if you are in a comedic mood. I have a great. Most times I am and I mostly laugh at travelers. All the weird quirks and mannerisms to include:

  1. nose picking
  2. booger eating
  3. eye booger picking
  4. sneezing or coughing in hands followed by wiping on pants
  5. General body part scratching (men and women, you would be amazed)
  6. the directionally challenged
  7. etc…

For me it’s pretty much a routine and methodical. It’s like a executing a well drafted plan. Even when things go wrong I always have a plan and a routine. I’m rarely frustrated or angry. 

So today I’m on my way to YYZ (Toronto) and because I have priority I’ve boarded first. But as always I end up with many butts and crotches way to close for comfort and everyone and then my shoulder gets molested… (laughing). Seriously folks boarding the plane bump me with luggage coats, kids, and crotches…. Yep… It’s all a pet of the travel flow!

My Blog

And…

Judge me!!! I don’t care… I’m headed home soon enough!

  

Donuts – Another productive day…

   
 

On my way again

Well I’m on my wa again… I struggled with crossing my legs because of my knee surgery. It was horrible trying to sit normal and take this dang pic. Here is my first one which is my normal pic. The problem is that you can see the knee sleeve through my slacks and it’s apparent that the knee to leg ratio is way off. 
  
So I decided to cross the other way and it was equally as painful. Uhhhg!!! But I managed to get my travel pic so in happy now… So here it is… 

  
Don’t judge me… I’m just the guy that trying his best to “Make Good Donuts”!
 

Mama Adiah Moore

So was gonna write something super clever, but for her no words can be adequately descriptive. So basically today I stopped by to drop off a few things and she was in super great spirits with her super cute yellow dress. What you cant see is the super cute yellow flower bow holding her pony tail.

You are the most amazing woman I know… Muah!
