Guess I am king of the posters,at least over the long haul.I have been posting here since September 1999,about the time I found it.
Thank you Patrick for setting this up as a place we can talk about of favorite things.
All of those posts include about an 18 post trip report in December 1999 and lots of back and forth responses to that.It would be areal good lesson in a lamb headed to slaughter and defending his actions all the way but its too old for the archives and I didn't save it as Hoda did with his posts.
4000 posts? Get a Life ? I have a life thank you,one I am very happy with at the moment.I will admit back when I was trying to work in the US my posting cost me money I should have been making working.As I said at the time,the problem with being self employed is you waste your own time.
Reading and posting here has been good for me in lots of ways.First,the exchanging of imformation about how to find women I could never hope to find in the states.I am visual.I still want a good looking sexy feminie passionate woman,otherwise why bother?I just couldn't compromise for what I could get in the states.I think most of us have that in common here.
Second,I have met lots of guys who are my friends by being involved in this process.We have something in common.Some guys have golf buddies,we got better things to do,right? Let them old guysmarried for 30 years chase around a little white ball with a club.One reason I moved to Cali is I knew that I would see more of my friends more often living here than any other place.They were not likely coming to San Jose,but alot will pass through Cali.
Third,I found out I had an ability and a desire to express myself that was not being used.I like it.Its fun.A friend of mine who was here recently has written several books and is planning several more.He says everybody has a book in them.Maybe,but most like me will probably never put together the discipline to get one written.
Lets see,I sleep about 8 hours a day.That leaves 16 hours.If I spend even 2 hours here like I am headed for today I still have lots of time to enjoy my life in other ways.And Cali can be little limiting for just going out and doing things.I may even buy a car,looks like we will need one anyway for a business idea,then I can travel outside of Cali more easily.There are lots of interesting and I'm told safe places to go.Lake Colima,Buga,Popyan,alot of others.I might even drive to Medellin.I always get lots of opinions before I do something like that.I am told lots of places are safe to drive to in the day time or visit,but living there might become dangerous as you become known.
So for today,its internet,I will do a little research here next,then my sweetie no one at 3 PM,dinner at 7PM or so,of to a party at 9,sleep in tommorow and do it all over again.Sweetie no two was here last night,wow!Once a week seems good,then we are really hot for each other.Maybe I will move that up to twice a week.We are both OK with it for now.My other girl is just really comfortable and pleasant.
Sometimes I feel like I should be doing something more with my life.Maybe the business thing will help.We have lots of other ideas,if the first one either does or doesn't work,it just jumped to the head of the list recently,Cali real estate web site as I mentioned below.More later on that.My real interest is export import but thats in the background for the present moment.
So,I feel very fortunate how things have turned out.I made lots of mistakes in my life,part of actually taking risks in life and I survived them all.Life is good.And any time I want to change it I can.For right now its Cali,this apartment and my present 2 girls.
The apartment is great.It costs me $1600 a month with all the utilities and maid,but on a good month like December of maybe this one its free to me by renting rooms.
So,your reporter from Cali checking in,over and out.
Pete
