Tropical Storm

Hurricane Ian just passed. For awhile the weather experts were predicting St. Pete was getting hit, so we all took precautions. Turns out it passed south besieging Fort Myers. While the winds were strong, I went out and filmed it and the wind almost tore the umbrella out of my hands. Many parts of the city lost electricity. St Pete dodged a bullet but they shut the airport down and I lost my flight to California. So I shelled out more cash to buy it again. Well, money is meant to be spent. 

Reunion

I went to a military reunion. It was in Las Vegas and it was from a squadron I was in when I worked in Panama for two years. Part of me didn’t want to go, because I don’t have a lot of money. But I think it was worth it. It’s my past it’s with people that I enjoyed the best two years of my life with. You can’t worry about money all the time. 

Scooter

I bought a scooter. I’m really thrilled about this. It’s retro and sexy. Got a deal with a good business that helped me pay less money. I had done my research on multiple dealers in the area and everyone was charging to put it together, tag and title and taxes. My dealer wasn’t charging any of it, so I asked him why? He had a good explanation but convoluted. Something to do with tax and regulations. I gave him a good tip and will be going back. A good, trustworthy mechanic is hard to find. 

High School Reunion

I went to California for my high school reunion. It was awesome! The first night we attended a football game of my former school, Cordova High. After the game we met up at Players Bar. I had too much to drink, took an Uber to somewhere unknown and by telephone’s battery died. Then I tried to get into a car because in my mind I was convinced that it was my friend’s car. Someone called the cops and I told the cops the situation and they charged my phone for me and I got an Uber home. But back to the reunion, I saw the girl that I loved in high school, but I wasn’t ever able to make any meaningful relationship out of it. Her name is Carolyn. 

3 Wolves

I just finished the first video for my client Caleb who started 3 Wolves clothing brand. He designs them, too. I filmed the first photo shoot.

Party: “Nerd Up”

My friend Oppie and friends organized an art show/party. Very cool. Live music, poetry, and venders selling art. I met interesting people there. For example, a guy who made a sculpture from tin of zombies eating someone. There was even a baby zombie taking part in the meal.  

 

Work Situation

Damn, I’m not working very many days a week. I need the cash so I can travel again. I want to go do the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It’s a pilgrimage from southern France to the west coast of Spain. People have been doing it for 1100 years. It’ll take at least 30 days of walking and if I go in January, it’ll be cold and probably a little snow. Oh well, then it’ll be more dramatic for the filming that I’ll be doing. Film it and possibly make some money. And I’ll be walking it with Agustin, an old friend who lives in Madrid. 

Conclusion:

Motorcycles make life more fun.
