By the time the first post was published automatically, I was in Southern Cal. I'll be in California until March then I'm headed off to Australia. Going surfing @ the Mormaii Pe’ahi World Cup Tow In Surfing Championship. I've been waiting months for this.

Living life to the fullest is my motto. Rock hard and make each day better than yesterday. Enjoy the lifqual and wish me luck!

26: Today's Lesson: Kids

Youth of The Nation

Parents, listen to your kids. You'd be shocked the life their going through right now and how it's really difficult to comprehend it. Don't ask them to talk to you about it, have them come to you. Show an interest in their favorite activity. Once they feel that they are able to trust you, things will start coming out. This may take months and it make take years. Give it sometime and know they still need your help even though they deny it.

25: Today's Lesson: Don't Walk Away

Don't Walk Away

When I was a kid, their was this a family that lived a few houses down from where I lived. They had one child. I remember his name was Chris. He was a little younger than me, quiet kid that kept to himself. Every once in awhile you'll see him with bruises and black eyes. His mother would take him to the bus stop every school morning. She would have bruises too. I told my parents what I noticed. I didn't know much about domestic abuse, but I knew the signs. My parents told me to not get involved. As time went on, they eventually moved out. I wondered if anybody did anything to help either one of them. I have another friend who was in an abusive relationship, she said her then boyfriend started to slap her and drag her in the car. She was shocked that nobody came to help her. She said they just walked away. How can people be so cold. Do the right thing and try to help people involved in domestic abuse. They may not be strong enough to get out but you can still help them find that strength to do it. All I have to say is karma. You'd always wonder what happened afterwards.

Fight For Your Right

Stand up for your freedom of speech. I've been to a few friendly protest for things that I stand for such as saving the beach. I will always be on board for something like that.

23: Today's Lesson: Broken Heart

Bad Relationships

We all had them. We all had the ones that were broken off for the best and some that were broken off at a surprise to you. Sometimes good advice will not save a relationship. Sometimes you have to just let it go and move on. Holding on will only make things worse for you. No need to try and force somebody to love you because in the long run, you'll end up hurting them as well as yourself. If it's meant to be, then the opportunity will present itself again in the future, but in the mean time, be a friend and let it go to keep you both happy.

21: Today's Lesson: The Homeless

Homeless Epidemic

Donate Donate Donate. You have old clothes that can't fit you, so instead of giving to somebody who is having a hard time trying to stay warm this cold winter season, you throw it out because you don't have the time. Many people do not know how it feels to truely go without until it happens to them. Remember, we are all people too. Just because they don't live in a house doesn't mean we don't treat them with the same courtesy. Donate something. I volunteer my time throughout the year and I make sure no matter what my plans are to volunteer on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Donate and/or volunteer, it will put a smile on so many faces.

The Waves

Surfing is not for everybody but if you do surf and you love the sport then you know exactly how I feel. As soon as I hit the water I feel the rush of life invigorated. Slowly getting up on the board and riding my way towards the distant shore and going back to live it again. It's more than a hobby, it's a way of life. We all have that one thing that we love doing or that we do as many times as we can because at the moment you are at true happiness.

16: Today's Lesson: Love in Love

For The Both Of You

Intimacy is just as important in a relationship than everything else. Explore each other's likes and dislikes. Know what makes you both happy. Having a "closed mouth, ears covered" relationship will always prove to never last. To keep a relationship strong, don't be afraid to tell the other person how you feel and what is it that makes you happy. If your partner doesn't know then you'll never know. It's good to keep a relationship, "open mouthed, ears open". This will keep the relationship on solid ground.

We are all a unique snowflake. Looking up into the sky as kids, we all wish we can reach the stars. Dreaming of a far away place where nobody has ever reached.
