Dearest Gnarly Kids,

Feeling lazy today, research a Smart Grid, Denmark's electricity plan for the future.

That is all

King of Pop

Readers, friends, enemies, aliens... Hello

Caught a special on the death of Mr. Michael Jackson, a legend indeed.  Jackson changed the face of pop culture as we know it today and it makes me ponder where pop music would be today without his talented influence.  No matter what controversial issues you might have with MJ, one cannot deny his dedication to making music something it had never been before.  Yes, there have been stories of his involvement with children and there is no excuse.  However, MJ missed out on his childhood from the time he was 5 he was sucked into the music world.  Therefore I cannot find him at fault for atttemtping to re-live that time, as long as there was no foul play.

In June of 2009, he was pronounced dead following an overdose of prescription medicine.  Following the verdict, his personal doctor was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering the drug in un-safe quantities. Again this leaves room for controversy and debate, any thoughts?

An idol, a hero, forever remembered as the KING of POP and thats a fact.

For now viewers, take a second, be thankful for what you have reflect on your life and love it, enjoy every minute you have.  Don't take it for granted, and most of all, Have fun.. For now, check out this scientist and what he has to say, mind blowing indeed.

Back.. Better than ever

Dearest viewers,

My apologies for the long break. Caught up in the world of Travel.

Back from a week long travel of  The Netherlands, and Switzerland, what a blast.  Train system is so efficient and easy to use, recommend it to anyone interested in traveling the European land.  Learned a fair amount in the very Liberal city of Amsterdam.  Red light district, tough to comprehend coming from a country like the US, very hard to grasp.  Amsterdam is a beautiful city, canals, good people and excellent atmosphere.  You will not go to Amsterdam and be un-entertained that is for sure, hey you can even try the mushrooms they sell in stores, just beware:)

Concluding my 3 day adventure in the Dam, I headed south to the south western side of Switzerland.  Switzerland is a absoulutely beautiful country.  The train rides were heavily scenic and fantastic, visited the cities of Zurich and Geneve, and traveled through many others, spent the half week in Estavayer le-lac an area of the Fribourg state.  Met an old family friend who let me stay at her family hotel and got to get to know some fellow swiss french people, very friendly and warming. Also touched base with a local couch surfer and spent the rest of the week, biking the nature reserve and shoe shoeing the alps! Unbelievable! Concluded at a Swiss hot bath right in the alps, what an experience that was!

My couch surfing experience amongst my travels were two individuals. First was Barry from Amsterdam, he was a very nice guy who was happy to host me and share beers and stories. I only spent a night there but I learned a lot from Barry and a local resident of the famous city. Barry was older than I by many years, and we shared very conflicting views on business practices and sustainable actions, it was nice to hear an opposing side of my arguements.

The second couch surfer was a sweet girl from Sevaz Switzerland who was born in Venezuela and raised in the french part of Switzerland.  She is a natural healer who runs her own practice and sees patients regularly.  SHe uses natural methods like massage and meditation in order to clean her clients systems. She was a superb host, who made me feel right at home and introduced me to the Swiss French culture.  We then took a trek into the alps of the Valais region and what a time that was indeed.

I had two very life changing experiences couch surfing along a life altering trip.  I am excited for my future travels and experiences with couch surfing as I look to meet and connect with many others out there.  Both the generous hosts helped shape me as my quest for answers continues... Until next time friends.. Stay ontop and always remember.  "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes well you just might find, you get what you need!"

Enjoy
