Did anybody see Lost last night!?!? When Locke fell out of the casket I truly freaked out. And that other guy, what is his story? This the best Lost finale ever. I'm still shocked.

I'm going to watch it again. Enjoy the lifqual.

Relaxed

It's good to be back home Australia rocked! A lot of bugs and really hot, but other than that it was pretty cool. I'm kind of glad to get back to work. Being out and about just really wore me out. Doing something really fun all day everyday wheres you out, so working is much more relaxing and going back to my same routine is a good stress reliever.

Time for me to go, life is precious and don't waste a second, enjoy the lifqual!

G'Day

Sorry for the delay in posting. Going to Australia and settling in was a lot harder than I expected, but it's worth it. If you ever get a chance to come to Australia, do it. You'll love it. The beaches are so awesome. The people are so cool and the weather is so relaxing. It's a good place to retire. I'll be here until the end of the month then I going back home to New Smyrna Beach. I kind of miss home right now, but how often can you go to Australia? My next big destination is Japan or China or somewhere east. I hear the waves are pretty nice there too. It's almost noon here so the time zone is a little challenging.

Going back in the water.

Peace and love.

Seize the day and enjoy the lifqual!

lOvE: Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers. My girlfriend deserves this day. I always treat her as a queen so I had to think long and hard on how to make this day a day she'll never forget. She came all the way to California last night to spend the weekend with me, which I really appreciate that even more from her. I no you're going to read this sweetie, so that's why it's hush hush. You'll see if you haven't seen it yet.

Enjoy your loved one and give a little lifqual.

Austrailia

With the recent fires in Austraila, I might just go ahead help do some volunteer work when I go in March instead of surfing, at least for maybe a couple of weeks. I couldn't live with myself by going all the way to Austraila and not helping out some how. I'll do my civic duty.

Enjoy the lifqual.

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.

24: Today's Lesson: Say Something

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. Your voice has the power to change the world. Words of the past individuals change the face of history forever. Will that voice be yours next time?

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.

This post is dedicated to my true love, I love you, forever & always.

19: Today's Lesson: Surfing

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.
