I'm sitting at the tiki bar thinking about 'life'. Not really. I'm here to hang out with the girl and look at the others that just happen to be around.
Tiki bars are my favorite places in the world.
I don't know of a better environment. They all just say the same thing, "Life is Good".
Tiki bars are Open Doors and Opportunity.
The view is better. The beer taste better. The customers are happier. (Unless of course you're that guy that needs a drink right. this. moment) And everything in life that isn't perfect doesn't really matter all that much.
All tiki bars have that "I'm on vacation" feel to them. That's what makes them so awesome.
I could live like this. If I could.

Don't you hate that life can't always be a vacation?
I remember my dad, working in the factory 40+ hours a week, for months at a time, just to take that one 4 day vacation to Florida to see the beach.
For 20 years, I've lived next to the beach and rarely see it. Maybe once or twice a week.
This coast is nice because we have a calm ocean. Not a bunch of waves and getting beat to death in the surf - the Gulf of Mexico this far south is as calm as a windless day on a full moon night. (for those that don't know, both the wind and the moon control the ocean)

Currently I own 3 things - maybe 4. I own a few more things than that but even people who don't own a lot fail to count some of the things they have.
Do I count those busted up golf clubs?
That worthless jump rope?
What about the blow up bed in the back of my truck?
No, I own some clothes, a truck, and a nightclub.
I'm selling the nightclub.
It's not that I own the whole thing - only a piece of it.
I'm selling my piece.
It's time.
I've been overly passionate about the club for too many years.
It's been both a source of pride and a thorn in my side.

A friend bought my TV. Bought my small pad.
Clothes and a truck. That's what I have.
Oh, and a guitar signed by a few not so famous and at least one 'used to be famous' person.
Owning little material possessions and sitting at a tiki bar having an adult beverage?
I'll take it. Love it. Almost perfect.
That's doing pretty good I'd say. A Open Doors and Opportunity kind of day.
Blessed. God is Good.
