A well-needed vacation to Tahoe was spent with good friends and a heavy amount of fun was had!  I cannot recommend this place enough. Here, being raised in a city of dirt and sun, I thought I wouldn’t take so well to the cold. I couldn’t have been any more wrong. I was told by family that Tahoe belongs on the list of one of the seven wonders of the world. He did not error in this opinion. Tahoe is by far, the one of the best vacations I have ever taken part on. Not bad since I came back fully broken from snowboarding (and shoutin for more).

Not only do they have some of the cleanest tap water, great food and amazing mountains to hit (Squaw!!!!); but they have some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Even the rental shop (“The Ski Renter” [1093 Ski Run Blvd]) was a highlighted moment on the trip because the guy “Phil” there was such a blast to talk to. We couldn’t leave back home without stopping by to say goodbye. If you ever need ski or board rentals, never shy from visiting his shop. You won’t go wrong.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas….but what happens in Tahoe, stays with you for the rest of your life.

How Guardians of the Galaxy Should Have Ended

An awesome short animation made by the HISHE guys that have done so many others worth watching! This time they take a shot at Guardians of the Galaxy (easily movie of the year). Give it a look:

The number one selling item ALL YEAR (and last year) on Amazon is a card game…Happy Holidays

So I have been looking at fun gift ideas (both for others as well as my own wishlist) and searching through Amazon is one of my favorite places to start. Each time a birthday popped up this year and now due to Christmas, I searched to see what are the biggest items selling right now, so that I know whatever I get…should be a safe option (if everyone else likes it…then it must be a great gift). The one thing I noticed, is the “number one selling item on Amazon” spot…never changed. Last year, this year and this holiday...Cards Against Humanity is the top selling item. I can’t believe it…a card game has reigned champion, and for that long. Friends have mentioned off and on these last few years how fun the game is. Never going into too much detail, they made it sound like a game that tests the extremities of which you are willing to say or do among friends.

A tag line of “A Party game for horrible people”, I still don’t quite know what it is about, but I did read that the company that made it is based in Chicago and has made MILLIONS with this game. A card game……millions. Quickly too, as it has remained the top selling item on Amazon for so long. Beating out TVs, Apple products (I know that sounds crazy), tablets and more. There must be something magical about this game that has to be put to the test….therefore it made it to my gift list this Christmas. In fact, one of my friends should be getting it and taking it with to our latest vacation everyone is going on. So might just get a  whiff of it before the gifts come out (assuming anyone snags it from the list at least….unless it has already been snagged and I just don’t know o_O…the suspense…

Happy Holidays and Happy Thoughts

Happy

I wish the best to everyone these holidays with nothing but fun memories and time shared with family, friends, galactic heroes and more!

This year has been one amazing roller coaster after another. From unlimited work to a dried up rotted summer of twists and crappy turn outs, to multiple escapes to Cali to get away from Vegas and clear the mind, to blurry (and odd) silhouette predictions of the future to a sudden explosion in profit, image, online presence and more.

Over the last month, one of my investments has grown so large, it wound up toppling its top record of traffic and earning potential while setting a new record 5 times in one week and kept moving up. It even had a mention on Entrepreneur.com which only made it even better. Doesn’t mean I am Tony Stark just yet, but it means the road is there and open. Enough excitement that a few friends and family are jumping on board to share the fun.

Not exactly what I was focusing completely on this year, but at least after failing in one area in life, I was able to succeed in another. Its an amazing opportunity to push ahead, albeit..my previous endeavors in the year would have been preferred since money really isn’t happiness, but “sometimes you have to be happy with what you have, because you could have had nothing at all” (a quote from a good friend “Upali”). At least this is still a positive moment in life, and one that can be shared with those I care about!

Now soon I get to bail from this polluted city of chaotic happenings (oh wait…that’s everywhere in the country these days…) and run off and spend a week in Tahoe with amazing friends, all crammed into an un-crammed huge deluxe suite with giant balcony, kitchens, fireplaces and more. There will be snow boarding, tubing, hiking, pummeling with snowballs, hot chocolate and more!
