I'm not sure about the idea of being a common enemy for the couple, it's a bit "drill-seargent" for me. Unless of course you do an excellent R. Lee Ermey impersonation ;-)

As for the site, I suggest keep the red starry theme, move the search up north, but make the content bigger than the navigation :)

Much respect.

I'd say mopeds are being built new all over the place, only now they call them electric bicycles :)

One problem you forgot to mention is that 2-stroke engines are incredibly bad for the environment. A 125cc 2-stroke scooter is basically like driving a hummer in terms of pollution, but obviously less in terms of construction damage and oil consumption.

Another thing to add to this: Watching people interact over the years has led me to believe that it's a "boring" dancer that you don't want to be; women are attracted to the confidence and self-esteem required to dance when you suck at it.

Not only that, but if you're remotely musically minded, you will get good very quickly if you enjoy yourself. I never danced and was awful at it until I was 18 and started going out drinking and dancing with one of my good mates who shares your opinions on the liquor, but not the dance. He's a dancing machine, and it rubbed off. Nowdays, I can attract a sizeable posse of buff half naked gay guys during the morning hours at a rave, which is pretty good for a fat bearded straight guy :)

A really good post Tynan, thanks.

"I have a theory that the amount of satisfaction you'll derive from an activity is directly proportional to how engaged in it you are."

They call it "Flow", and it's repeatedly been shown that it's highly correlated with life/job satisfaction, along with service.

Couldn't agree more. Bohemian Rhapsody is good when the entire crowd is too drunk to compare you to Freddie (and they can't hear you over themselves singing along), or old faithful Ice Ice baby, or Funky Cold Medina, much like Sir Mix-a-lot.

And if you're in .au or .nz, of course, Slice of Heaven always works.

No smoking.

Hot (to my eyes).

If she's over 21, she needs to have a job she wouldn't mind doing for a few years. Nobody flying from miserable sales job to miserable sales job every 12 months.

Awesome Ty :) Mine would be similar. I'd suggest though that if you own a sub, and spend a lot of time in South America, expect some cavity searches when you head home! ;-)

Hey Ty,

I think I speak for most of the readers when I say that we'll read however much you feel like writing on whatever subjects you feel like addressing. There's plenty of other sites about travel, and various other things that could slip in under some "self development" label, but we keep reading your stuff. It's a combination of the awesome life you lead, the way you write, and the honesty you have that keeps us reading, and that will always come through. And there's other things for us to read out there while you're busy living life and gathering new stories ;-)

Yeah I agree, that's kickass, and I also enjoyed the accounting post, although it just hilighted how backwards it all is and how hard a time I'm going to have learning it :)
