In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy whose beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.

Today my back was well enough to tackle the very flat nature trail of Batiquitos Lagoon of South Carlsbad. The last time I did this trail was in September 2000.
It also gave me an opportunity to try out the Canon Rebel XTi camera. I’m not sure the pictures are that much better than my point [...]
Having already read and thoroughly enjoyed Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power and The 33 Strategies of War, I decided to read his other book The Art of Seduction. As much as I loved The 48 Laws of Power, the Art of Seduction was even better.

I’m slowly recovering from my back injury. I can sit and stand without holding onto anything. My walking speed is equal to that of a short woman learning how to walk in high heels. Usually I walk at Mailman speed. I can walk for about a half a mile on a flat surface before [...]
I grew up listening to pop music from the 1980s. Then around 1995 I found a radio station in Tampa Bay that played nothing but music from the 1970s (107.3 The Coast). At first I only liked the classic rock and disco music from that era. But slowly overtime, I came to love 70s [...]

Shortly after noon I had recovered enough that I was able to baby-step walk without holding onto the walls. On a typical day, [...]
I completely threw out my back today after doing a warm-up set of dead-lifts at the gym. After 3 hours and 3 Vicodin, I still can’t move. This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced.
No more morning dead-lifts or squats. I promise. I’ve learned my lesson for real this time. When it comes to leg [...]
Today is the 8th anniversary of my coffee site INeedCoffee. I have big plans in store for this site in 2007.
Drove up to Carlsbad to see Lura run her first 5K. It’s been a long time since I showed up at road race. Here is a photo of two guys that are part of a Borat running team.
Back to Poway for my 2nd hike in 3 days. This time I did the East Approach to Mount Woodson, which I last hiked in November. Near the top I met a rock climber. We chatted for a good 20-30 minutes. He told me a lot about rock climbing and bouldering. I felt like [...]
