F.U.C.K. IT!

Life is not all rainbows and fucking unicorns! This world comes with so much stress and so many expectations. Sometimes you just have to say FUCK IT. For me, the word FUCK is empowering.

Free
Under your own code
Cut the bullshit
Kick it. If it isn't allowing you to be you. Kick it to the curb.



I think it's important to be bold with who you are and what makes you happy. Feel good about the life you are living folks, because this is it. Now is all you have! Ruffle some feathers if you have to. Don't worry about what some chump has to say about the way you live your life. Stand up for yourselves. Don't hide who you are for the comfort of others. Fuck them. If they don't accept you than it's their loss. It's important to take pride in who you are and what you represent. There are tons of negative Nancy's out there, when you find them, kill them with kindness. That's all us lovers can do.

I encourage you to Push the limit.

Matching is overrated. Red and green together isn't always Christmas. Stomp out social norms. Make your own COOL. Be honest with yourself.

Imagine your life in a snow globe and if you wouldn't want it on your mantle... Change it!






.... AND

Dandelions are flowers too!!!!

It'll just take a minute, but IT WILL matter!

As I sit here writing, I am in a pair of yoga pants, a pair of sweatpants over top of the yoga pants, a t-shirt, two flannels and am lucky enough to have a blanket on. My heater is broken in my trailer and I am freeeezing my buns off. As I sit here thinking of ways to get warm, I cannot help but think about all those people out there that are cold, like this, night after night. I think about how lucky I am to be fortunate enough to have two pairs of pants and two flannels to put on. Not everyone is as blessed. I am writing tonight to start something small that I hope will affect at least a few cold human beings out there. We all know we have a giant linen closet full of like 20 old blankets that we hardly ever use. I am writing to encourage you to take one of those blankets, in the next week, to someone in your town that needs it. Whether it be the guy you see on your way to work, that is asking for change, or the woman who you work with that is having trouble paying her electric bill. Look into their eyes and offer them the wonderful luxury of warmth. We take too much for granted. Let's not.


Please share your experience

Thank You!

Thanks for stopping by San Diego.... Stay classy San Diego

So... I recently have stopped using social networking sites and began blogging. The one thing that I don't like about it, is it's one sided. You get to see what I am doing but I do not get to see what you are doing, or that you even stopped by my blog. I encourage you to leave me a little note on here when you stop by. In fact I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Thanks and May the Force Be With You

"What exactly is it that you do here...."

 I am a Wind Turbine Inspector. I have three primary tasks within my company. My first and favorite task is check on mechanical completion. Once the turbine is considered "mechanically complete" I climb the turbines and do a "walk-down" with the people that are putting them together. I go through the whole wind turbine and check to make sure that everything is in fact put together correctly and is ready for commissioning. If there are parts of the turbine that need attention, I make a "punch list" of the items that need to be fixed and give it to the mechanical completion crew.

The second task I have is during the construction phase of the project. I watch the main crane put together the turbines. I enjoy this part of my job as well because I get to hang out with all of the iron workers and make sure everyone is working safely and efficiently. I also check all the components before they fly to make sure that they are in mint condition.

The third task I have as an inspector, is to be in charge of receiving. This is done prior to either of the first two tasks. I make sure that all the wind turbine components come in in good shape and I document every missing or broken component.

I love my job and look forward to coming into work everyday!
I challenge you to find something that you LOVE doing! It makes work more of an adventure!

OklaHOMO






Here is my new little home!( notice my cute little gay pride flag) Currently, I am working in Davis, Oklahoma helping build 75 turbines. Everyone in Oklahoma is so nice. When I found out I was coming here I was.. less than pleased. I figured people would judge me for having dread locks and for my alternative style. I was extremely wrong. Turns out I was the one being judgemental. Everyone here has been warm and welcoming. (Most people get a kick out of my dreads too!) It's hard to show up in a new situation without expectations, but I think I end up having more fun when I check my expectations at the door. I am working on not judging people for who they are or their decisions. Traveling is helping me a lot with this. I still have a long way to go, but I feel I'm on my way.
 
I am about to finish up in Oklahoma and I believe I will be in Texas next. One fun part about my job is you never really know when or where you are going. You just have to let the wind blow you wherever it damned well pleases. I love it! What a fun way to see the U.S. I hope one day to work on turbines all around the world. Dream big folks. Might as well
