I knew this was coming - but didn’t think it would have as pronounced effect on as many of my friends as it has.
Great time to try to get into entertainment right? haha.
Sex Ban on the Airbus A380 →
“There are things that are acceptable on an aircraft and things that aren’t, and the rules for behaviour in our double beds are the same ones that apply throughout the aircraft.”
In any case, the plane is as yet unchristened: Tony and Julie Elwood from Perth, Australia had booked the first A380 double suite, but hardly had a moment of privacy for a romantic kiss, let alone anything raunchier,...
Good Morning, Good Morning!
I’ve been sleeping a solid amount recently.
I think it’s due to physical exertion, my recent move and working out at a new (very convenient) gym.
Starting next week my new goal will be 7am wake ups all week!
As California Burns ...
Life is suprisingly normal for most folks in Southern California.
I have friends working in San Diego helping with the relief and aid and all they can say is that the devastation in affected areas is absolute.
Casualties and loss of human life however has been low.
WatchAmazing.
At the roxy.
I’m the only person not wearing all black.
Thank you.
LA is a land of valet parking and disgruntled New Yorkers. I’ve been busy lining up meetings with people I know/respect up here in hopes to find out what I’m going to do next. Any suggestions? I’m pushing reset.
It is official. I live in LA.
Not sure if I’m the target demographic - but I know every song they play at home depot. Really well. It’s scary.

Watcha good buddy george just posted this clip of his college republican days at UC Davis. hilarious.
The fires
Living in socal you sometimes take for granted what havoc nature can bring when it wants to or is provoked.
The fires are pretty profound but the large majority of people are safe and sound.
That said as I worked from a coffee shop this afternoon it rained down ash on me and everyone else outside. The offshore breeze is keeping the firefighters busy and will most likely prevent...
Magic Elixir
I’ve never felt that the human body properly processes food and various other things it comes into contact with in an efficient manner.
A year (or so it seems) back a friend told me about the 4 hr work week book. Since then I’ve become a fan of Tim Ferriss.
In on of his blogs people asked him about supplements and in the answers he wrote to take the following supplements:

Notes on my departure from a two week trip to Florida:
Headlines -
Bay Area Man Shot Twice Flys Anyway
Dad Defends Lakeland Student with AK 47 on Campus “I taught him how to use it”

Flying Delta -
When flying Delta direct its decent to good. I still will not take a Delta flight that connects through Hartsfield in ATL.

In Tallahassee
Visiting family and friends.
It was a nice drive throughout the state today until I headed west on I-10.
The rain was decent, but since moving to California I rarely drive in rain - esp. in a sedan.
Still it was reassuring driving next to so many people that were acting like it was raining out instead of what I deal with in california.
Californians are like wet cats when it rains.
update
my travels in FL have been brought to a standstill with this most recent cold.
my family believes it’s because i still have my tonsils - they think i should have them removed.
i think i’ll keep them.
be safe.

Cross-pollenation (v) to spray cologne, perfume, or other nasally pleasing scents in proximity to people who have their own scents they wish to share with others.
“Hey dude don’t want to cross pollenate so if you need anything from the bathroom get it now or else you’ll smell like me.”
Going out with college buddies tonight. Our alma mater USF won it’s sixth game in a row and is in the top 5 in the us. No easy feat considering we had our first game in 97. I was there and its growth as a team and a community has been amazing for Tampa.
Re-Segregation (sp)
It’s hard for people to realize outside of Florida and many other states in the south, but segregation doesn’t exist for a large part.
In comparison - California is very segregated.
Most people live in neighborhoods with similar ethnicities in CA.
“Based on the Census analysis, the top five most segregated metro areas were Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis and Newark,...
A Southern Diet
After living in Southern California for 3 years you realize how skinny people are there.
My observation is that in the south the average person is overweight.

My Delivery Sucks
Nick aka “oats” posted this today:
My dad says that I have a lot of good ideas, but my delivery is bad. He says the way that I present my ideas can sometimes be hurtful. This is especially true if the idea is something that I am passionate about.
For example, my dad was doing something with the company by himself. And I had a better idea - he should hire X person to do X job. Either...
getting bored more often
i don’t really buy a lot of the a.d.d. hype and find myself being productive generally - when i want to be.
lately i find myself bored in conversations and mostly in conference calls.
i do 80% of my business over the phone/internet and lately it’s been numbing.
i knew things were getting bad when today i watched a dude with no arms play norwegian wood on a guitar with his feet.

home in tampa
for once - in a long time. it’s nice to be home.
california is quickly becoming my home, but this is my HOME.
i haven’t really seen many people yet, but the comfort and the familiarity has been nice.
i should be here till the 22nd and will most likely visit, Tallahassee, Gainesville, St Augustine, Orlando, and West Palm as well.
i’m excited.
It’s awkward stealin chicks from dudes on melrose place.
