Hotel @nyware

 I thought I would change my mind, but instead I changed my shirt. Aloha! I knew there would be days like this,  I just wish someone would have told me how many! The La Haina means 'cruel sun' in the Hawaiian Language. describing the sunny dry climate. It received 13 inches of rain in a year.What a contrast from 2 months ago sailing in the Inside Passage and landing up in -Ketchikan, Alaska; one of the wettest places in North America- The Path of Moist Resistance .with 162 inches of precipitation per year –  that is over 13.5 feet of wet !  The nose knows. I love the smell of (na)palm in the morning.

Trying to English Aloha! These are the days when I start to think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction. When I landed in Kahalui, things started to take off. I was on a different plane.I didn't wake up. I came to. Cool, unlying life rushed in. Hawaii is the canvas, throw up as much paint as you can. We are just the middlemen. The key to island-style is not knowing where you are going, but to prepare your character for those wonderous moments of serindipity; and when they occur, you can listen to your heart and know what it is you need to do. Impossible is nothing because infinite patience brings immediate results. It is not just a state of mind but also a state of grace, a vibe. Serindipity, I call it good luck. I am big fan of the extraordinary role that luck plays in all our lives-big luck,small luck, good luck. Luck is an art. We are like fish, the last ones to know we are in the water,and most of the time we swim right past luck , and we're looking in any...

The Hemingway International Billfish Tournament is one of the oldest big-game fishing tournaments...and then there is Baja, Mexico After Monday and Tuesday, all that's left in  Cabo is W T F, eh? If people concentrated on the really important things they'd be a shortage of fishing poles. The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic battle between an old, experienced fisherman and a large marlin. I feel like Santiago, going  84 days without catching a fish.

  I like writing about Mexico , I just don't like the paper work. So I did this oil  of Cabo! a second chance to make a first impressionist painting   Self Employment sometimes made harder by difficult boss - "I am not a businessman, I am a business, man!" That's what the locals are doing here $elling everything- It's a pain in the English. Cabo San Lucas locals speak English as a second language. Money is their first one.   The last thing a  fish  notices is water I live in the geography of Hotel @nyware, the 3 pound YOUniverse, that grey matter between my (y)ears-my brain . We carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells..Without mind, matter doesn´t"matter" There is no such thing as a bad address on the Internet, nor in this state of mind because the personal operating system that each of us inherits, creates and imposes on the world, is a virtual reality.It's location neutral user-friendly. Granted, enviornment creates moo...

I am not smart enough to be wrong all the time but whether I  geographically move to Hawaii or psychologically just be reminded of what I feel when I am there, I keep breathing and keep #winning over death, not by living forever, but by living timelessly, by being present to the Present. As I wrote in 2007... I do n't see things as they are; I see them as I am. Right no w, I don’t see the waves, I am the waves, I don’t touch the sandy beach, I am the sandy beach. I don’t feel the sunshine, I am the sunshine. To live in this vastness is to bathe in the ocean that mystics call one taste. These are the good old days--- enduring moments when I say that this is the ever "me". I can drink the Pacific in a single big gulp, with one single big mind. I can be happy in the world only because I am free of it. I am not addicted to experiences and memories. I don’t need to gather any more experiences . I go beyond all that. Life is just as it is. I am as I always was.There was ne...

 The ship has already sailed An Art(ist) Director cannot fail because to be one is a success. I  have all the airs and graces of an investor whose ceiling has become the floor. The Warhol's and Chagall's are marketed reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.  I worship the quicksand they walk on because I am not hung up on nostalgia, but just for now, I will pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time, believing, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy art which is kinda the same thing. The rich(er) galleries are different from yours and mine because they have more credit. And credit is is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five. New York, however, without serious money is an opinion. My opinion rolls up its sleeves and spits in the street. and swears. If  I attack the SoHo  establishment long enough and hard enough, they will make me a member of it, right? . Se...

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes  Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film. Thanks to digital, and my trusted camera, who cares. Just point and shoot, and you capture snapshots of moments. I'm an extremely talkative  person.  Yet I like taking pictures because  they speak for themselves.   MTness-Magic Thinking @ Sea In Photos----  2011 World Cruise Wish Fulfillment    and The  Law Of Attraction My definition of Thinking is when your  mind is separate from your  body: Some call it dreaming. I call it using your i magination. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.  That's when you can leap long distances,  go  forward and backward  in time, walk   through solid brick walls and never age,   My definition of Magical Thinking,  or MT, is when  we can manufacture experiences in our mind, and then l...

Fear is for folks who don’t get out much Instant Gratification Takes To Long After spending 8 months a year for the last 10 years living out of a suitcase, it is easy to reflect on the value of thoughtful travel. I call it "Taking Yourself With You". There is no such thing as work-life-vacation balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. One rarely falls in love with people without being equally attracted to what is interestingly wrong with them. Travel, at its best is creative destruction. In the wisdom of the moment,the power of new  language, food and culture and people are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be lived. The whole exercise has to be reconciliation.Lowering, removing or shattering the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate we human beings, one from another. It's not so much about being understood as understanding. The Hunt For Happy-   is the longing for repetition. The difference between hope and despair is a different wa...
