Mad Men.

The next season of “Mad Men” begins in a month, and if that doesn’t get you the least bit excited then you and me are going have a problem. Here is the just-released poster for Season 3, and as you can see Don Draper is getting in too deep.

If you don’t watch this show, or if you haven’t heard of it, you my friend need to get YOUR life together. As you can see its on AMC and airs on Sunday’s at 10 so set the DVR now.

As for me… I spent the day at my desk, working, boo… No news is good news, right?

Plantation Course.

The par 73, 7,411-yard Plantation Course, is the course of the champions, site of the PGA TOUR SBS Championship each January featuring an elite field of previous year’s PGA TOUR winners. The field has included golf greats such as Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Justin Leonard, Ernie Els, Davis Love III and now me. More golf, more birdies bogeys, and more fun with the fam.

Side Note: The views from this course are some of the most amazing I have ever seen…

Groundhogs Day.

Landing late in Honolulu after what seemed to be the most turbulent flight I have ever had gave me just enough time to literally run from customs to the domestic terminal and be the last passenger on my 30 minute flight to Maui…Nothing like not sleeping for almost two days and then running with 60 lbs of luggage. Yay.

However all was good after getting picked up by my Dad, who I hadn’t seen in 7 plus months, and Drew then heading to our Villa. With no time to waste, I again was whisked off to play 27 at the Kapalua Bay Course…

All in all, in the past “Day” I’ve had three flights, three countries and technically its exactly the same time as when I left Brisbane “yesterday”…

Groundhogs Day.

I can honestly say today was the longest day of my life… Beginning in Brisbane, Australia at 7 am on the 12th of July with just enough time to pack and say my goodbyes/thanks to Wally and Julia. Then I headed out the door to take my first of three flights, this one to Nadi, Fiji.

Landing in Fiji an hour late was quite alright with me as my layover was scheduled to be six and a half hours. During said layover I planned to leave the airport and head to the beach for a couple beers…. And trying to sneak past customs wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done…

However, being confined to the airport lounge wasn’t the worse thing to ever happen to me and I took a little time to finish my book (Things Fall Apart) and have a couple of Fiji Gold’s. Time  seemed to fly by with a two hour conversation with a complete stranger from Canadian and multiple shared Fiji Gold’s. But as the clock struck midnight in Fiji I was again off on another flight, back in time…

New blog time. We have just launched a new wrestling blog written by our good friend Mark Allen. Here is his letter to the readers. Make sure to give the site a view and send some comments in if you see anything we can improve on.

Final Days In Oz.

With just two days left in Oz we of course had to teach this country our finest game, Beer Pong. Just like in Korea and Hong Kong, they found te game memorizing. Maybe that is why Wally is getting so close to me…

Side Note: Nice jersey Wally… Garbage.

Album of The Week.

I skipped last week’s album due to the fact that I was on a boat, but I’m back with an album that I have been waiting almost 8 years for… BLACKsummers’night is the heavily anticipated new studio album from groundbreaking modern soul artist Maxwell. BLACKsummers’night is the first full-length Maxwell release since Now, his critically-acclaimed third studio album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in August 2001. This album is the sensuous opening installment of the artist’s monumental BLACKSUMMERS’NIGHT trilogy. Striving for an emotional authenticity and real world sound for the album, the entire album was recorded live in the studio with an a-list ensemble of elegantly sympathetic musicians.

Give the lead single, “Pretty Wings”, a listen to below and make sure you check out the rest of this 9-Track classic here. You won’t be disappointed.

Brüno.

Just went to see Brüno… Basically because I knew it was going the “thing” to talk about just like Borat in 2006. See it, see it once and just get it over with. Nothing to special in this on… But I just need to know how he sat down with a real terrorist and didn’t get blown up. Really, how can our government look being looking for terrorists for the past decade and Brüno finds one to interview with no problem. I don’t want to give anything else away but expect the same jaw dropping stuff you saw from Borat. Overall rating: 2.5 out of 5 with a feeling being dirty for laughing at some of these jokes…

Stories.

I wrote new post about my lunch today with a new Aussie of ours but it has since been deleted and I don’t really feel like rewriting it, so here is the long story short…

Some of my favorite moments from traveling are the conversations you have with new friends and acquaintances. Just learning how other people think and work across the world help me learn about so many aspects of life. It’s also a great reminder that there are so many different ways to look at the world and so much to see/learn about…

…There will always be a millions reasons not to travel, but if you ever have the chance don’t pass it up….
