Lake Nicaragua

 

Nicaragua,  has not been credited enough.  This comes mainly because of the political unrest that has plagued this country in the past decades.  Though far from perfect, Nicaragua is due international respect. Here are a few facts about Nicaragua

 

  • Nicaragua at one point supplied most of the meat to McDonald’s
  • Nicaragua is considered the safest country in Latin America, check with homeland security if you have doubts.
  • The cost of living is cheap.  It is a good experience to see and feel the culture.  
  • The people of Nicaragua may be very poor but they will give the shirts off their back to any guest at their home.  Yes, I do consider this a fact.
So there you have some interesting things about Nicaragua.  When I went there last time I had a blast.  The people are so warm to you and the nicaraguan pico de gallo is to die for.  There are plenty of rain forests to visit and the ocean view is beautiful.  Experience Nicaragua.

<a mce_thref= The name Virgin, has become such a strong brand that it is almost impossible not to notice. As I did my usual grocery shopping at the new and improved Wal-Mart in Plano, Tx, I stopped to notice Virgin had its own wine. Virginvines has positioned themselves as a good choice for wine. I tried the Chardonnay and was quite pleased. I am by no means an “expert” in wine, but can tell you for about $8/bottle it was some damn good wine. Virginvines will definitely give the other wineries some competition. Furthermore, branding has become so key to super companies. We have seen this in Coke, Wal-Mart, and other such entities. As these companies establish their niche they seem to quickly move into other sources of revenue, from banking to new sub-labels such as Virginvines. Enjoy Virginvines with some memorable company. ### I am still learning Wordpress, so please excuse my learning curve, I will have the spacing down asap.

 Basically, what to do to keep yourself sane and happy without resorting to the cheesy bar scene.   I have felt at times that being in my mid-twenties I must resort to going out to bars and hanging out with people I don’t know and probably won’t ever meet again.  One may assume that there is nothing wrong with this except the fact that you are a product of your enviroment.  Lots of bad habits come from consistent exposure to these scenes.  Anything from becoming an alcoholic to starting fights are common scenarios are bars that we as society have become accustomed to.   Here is what I propose as some solutions: 

  1.  Plan early morning activities that require a clear sense of thought.  For example, meet with a friend in the morning to discuss a book.  My personal favorite is doing a private lesson of brazilian jiu-jitsu with my friend and mentor Carlos Machado.  
  2. If you are not feeling social go against the grain and go grab a good book and feed your brain.  We all know that this does not seem to occur in the bar scene.
  3. Plan a trip.  At least in this case you will have options to explore different scenes and may even choose not to hit up the local bar scene.
  4. Put together a series of events that are both physically and mentally challenging during the day.  This will discourage your desire for a noisy and smelly bar scene.

These are just a few things I personally have applied to my life.  The bar scene can really be cancerous to your health, it drains bank accounts and leaves you with nothing but a vicious headache in the morning.
