Topic on the radio was the saddest song of all time. The host called out Coldplay's 'Fix you'. I disagree, Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt' is the hardest song. Trent Reznor really puts the time line of life in perspective.
Note to self. Everlast 'What its like' and Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' could have dueling guitars.

Cacao Farm
I got to visit a Cacao farm today. It was fun and interesting to learn the process used to grow and farm the fruit. The fruit is used to make chocolate and butter. I bought a few trees. Now to wait and see how they grow and then if I can actually preform the harvest process.
The more time I spend on the island the more diverse people I meet. Quite a few people today performing an array of activities. I am a new member of the HTFG group today (Hawaiian Tropical Fruit Growers). It should be an interesting journey.

Airports
I don't take to airports or long distance flying well. The airport is a great place to study human psychology. I have learned that people just getting dumber as time goes on. I think airport behavior is a clear indication that something (probably high fructose corn syrup) is leading to degeneration of brain tissue.
Why do people have to congregate around the gate waiting for the ticket lady to start boarding their rows? Wasn't it just 3 years ago that people waiting like normal intelligent homosapians, i.e. patiently and orderly seated in the "waiting area"? There are so many of these people that its impossible to make your way to the gate. These are the biggest a**clowns on the planet. I asked one guy if he was waiting in line, he said no had a dumb look on his face. I then wanted to follow up with "Then why the f- are you standing here."
The next thing that bugs me is how everyone has to crowd around the luggage carousel (this has been the preferred method of stupidity for as long as I can remember). As if everyone's suitcases are going to arrive all at the same time in the exact order that everyone is standing around the carousel, forcing a huge rush to remove 250+ suitcases simultaneously. How about taking one step back so that everyone can move in and out as needed?
The next biggest irk is these rolling suitcases. I saw a guy last week with a rolling suitcase, but the suitcase was the size of woman's purse...a small purse not a big one. I wanted to ask him why did he need wheels to carry his murse. Grow a pair fruit cake.
Then the guy on my flight from Newark to LA was so huge (easily 250lbs), that he took his seat and 1/3 of my seat. I felt bad for him, there wasn't much he could do. It wasn't like he could squeeze himself to fit into his assigned area. Then I thought "geeze, why am I punished because he lacked any food portion control?". Not only is the seat already small, but I am reduced to only using 2/3rds of that space for 6 hours.
Reading back through my rant I think this is the real reason I don't like airports and flying...cause its a clear indication that both society and air travel aren't going to get any better.

Thanks!
Six hour flight gets you a 3/16 of an ounce cracker. Thanks United Airlines, I am stuffed now. This goes along with my ideology that if you aren't going to do something good, don't do anything at all. At some point the reward is so disappointing that it becomes insulting. Its like getting a pencil sharpener for a Christmas bonus. Don't bother.

China and US "relations"
This is another good skit from SNL. Its worth the wait through the commercials.
This was from 1 year ago.
And this was last years.
