"Actio et Reactio"

I'm currently kickin' it here in the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. I think I'm under an A.C. vent...But it feels good.
I've been out here in Miami for two months and two days. I'm really looking forward to getting back to San Diego.
I am going to be living in Leucadia, CA about 3 blocks from the beach in between Beacon'and Tamarack.
Definitely looking forward to waking up and going surfing for a morning session before I start off the day. If your not from SD. Usually the best time to surf is in the morning or late afternoon when the wind dies down because San Diego tends to have an onshore breeze during the day.
I have not been looking too far for a job, though I do have some bills to pay over the next year.
I have been doing a lot of networking since I've been in Florida and found out a few cool links I'd like to share.

This is Persue': Persue' lives in San Diego and has been writing prob. since I've been out of the womb. He reps with some of the best and most respected crews around and has done some really inspiring design work. If you read the article you will find out he is the president of a skate shoe company located in San Diego...The street the factory is on is Scott St. so I figured it was a a sign to get involved as much as possible. One of the first things will do besides find a good job before I start school next fall is get a pair of these shoes and show my support. Pursue' brothers also are the owners of HOME in Encinitas, CA. The history behind HOME is really interesting. There website is:

Here's another link. I remember running into Outdoor Outreach back in the day at the Vertical Hold Sport Climbing Gym. I had been wondering about doing some volunteer work with some sort of Non-Profit when I get back home. I called OO and spoke to a nice women who informed me about the volunteer process. I printed out the request form and sent in volunteer inquiry. The big guy, Joe McLeod down at the Outreach program came across my climbing resume and was pretty impressed.
He inquired back to me about obtaining the Senior Climbing Instructor position that entailed driving a sixteen person van full of a bunch of eager kids out to Joshua Tree.
Over the years I've learned to not pass up an opportunity. So..I set up an interview and told him about my circumstances concerning my driver's license..(I don't have one anymore.) He appreciated my honesty. He honored my climbing experience/ and work with kids..and told me to get started on a volunteer level and simply work my way up. To me....that is fuel to the fire, not water to the flame. Here's the link below....
If you would like to get involved just sign up! I would be eager for anyone who wants to volunteer your time (surfing, climbing, hiking, biking) to hit me up so we can go to the volunteer orientation together and start ASAP.

I hope you check out all the links and get inspired.
Besides being super excited to get back home I've learned a few things out here to help me out in daily life. Maybe this could help you too.
I guess everything happens for a reason. Every situation that's put in front of you expects a reaction. You can react positively, negatively or not at all...The first and the last responses are what I'm getting at.
When a situation hits...and it's not what you wanted..or...you can't understand why it's there. Instead of reacting right off the bat....Sit back...Take a deep breath in and think: What the hell am I supposed to learn from this?....How can I react to this situation?....should I confront him/her?..Or just let it be?...Should I get mad?...or just take a really deep breath? If it's raining and I was supposed to go climb...Should I get bummed out and lay in bed and watch movies? Maybe...Or should I got out and search for new boulders and get muddy?
Every action has an equal but opposite reaction.
In Latin: "Actio et Reactio"
'we conclude that these two forces are themselves equal and opposite, i.e., that they compensate each other.'
This really doesn't much apply to how we react to things as humans on an emotional level...It was the first thing that came to mind when I thought about this idea. But basically...God is trying to teach me...and even you...I'm not talking about the god in the sky..I mean it can be...It can be an oak tree as far as I'm concerned..But whatever this force is coming from it's helping you and me to become a better person...It's putting obstacles in front of you to teach you how to react to them...
Someone takes twenty bucks from me. What am I gonna do? Confront him? Search his shit? Or just let it be?
Let's say I let it be....I form no accusations...nothing...I go on with my day and put the experience in the back of my mind. Even though I know who took it. All I do is treat him like I always have. Smile, Joke with him...Just go along being myself.
Pretty soon....He's gonna start to feel bad...or he'll keep on being a thief....Doesn't really matter to me. All I know is that one day he will get caught if he keeps stealing...And one day he's not gonna be so lucky he stole from me.
I listened to my God....(whatever it may be) and from that God somehow spoke through me to him...
Who knows maybe he will listen to god so much he'll feel so bad he will compensate somehow for what he did.
I'm not saying I'm an angel...I'm far from it...But, now I'm that much closer to it. Just as Hannah Morrow from Montreal told me...I guess you've learned what a lot of people 'spend their whole life searching for'...And that's enough for me...If I could learn how to improve myself through doing something so small as to just listening...Then so be it...
Oop. Boarding just started.
PEACE!
