A day with EXTREME RIDES…

Yesterday, I hung out with the guys from the TV Show ‘EXTREME RIDES.” A Discovery Channel show where they ask automotive experts to give their opinions on certain extreme cool cars. (See Eleanor to the left?) So, they came to CVS and we did an interview. Me? An expert? All I know is that I like cool cars… and Mountain Dew.

What cars? Well, you’ll have to watch the show to find out in January. But here’s one… And since I have several of these puppies in my garage… NOT, I had a lot to say. Duh. But, we had fun just the same.

No cup holder. No sunroof. Sixteen Radiators. Well, I guess you have to give in a little sometimes…

Been doing a lot of THINKING…

Ouch. My brain hurts. But in a good way…

Thoughts are things. We know this, right? But if they ARE things, then everything I think actually manifests. So, I have to guard my thoughts and the way I think.

If I worry about something, that something will come true. If I have faith that the absolute best thing for me will happen, then THAT will come true. Hmmm. Kinda stupid simple, eh? But, it’s true.

Case in point. A client decides to pay with a bum check and I immediately go into worrymode. I have to pay MY guys! How will I do that without funds? So, I decide… The universe wants me to succeed, so I’m not going to worry about it because it ALWAYS works out because that’s what I BELIEVE.

And so, …it did. Exactly the way I decided in my mind that it would. And that my friends, only proves one thing… Believe in the truth. Seek the truth and the truth will appear. Thank God.

I think I’ll have dinner now. And as for the photo? …It’s one of my sponsors…

What are you going to do TODAY…

…to make today perfect? Yea, I know what you’re thinking. “What the heck is Fireball talkin’ ’bout??”

You have a choice to make. Are you going to live today just like yesterday, with all your problems and woes piling on you? Or are you going to “think different?” As with all things, what we think determines our outcome. So, if you know what you want your outcome to be, then think ONLY those things that support it.

Me? I’m going to the Pumpkin Festival to see cool movie cars. Yes, a car/pumpkin show in about 2 hours. I’ll post what’s there later, but you’re gonna dig it. Then, I’m back to record Episode #12 of THE HOLLYWOOD CAR SHOW. Then, help my wife, Kathie, build some really cool costumes for a new TV Show. (I’ll post those when we’re finished, too.) But, I’m going to do ALL those things while thinking positively because I want my outcome to be a day filled with excitement, fun, adventure and love. …And that’s EXACTLY what I’ll get.

Try it yourself. Close your eyes and say, “My day is perfect and full of great things, great people and fun.” But FEEL IT and BELIEVE IT!!! Then, be grateful and watch what happens. Let me know!!!!

Exclusive clips from the new STAR TREK MOVIE…

Looks pretty good, despite that fact that there’s no cars. But, I’ll let ‘em have that one since the Enterprise is kinda like a spacecar, right? Doesn’t Spock look a little miffed?

I have high hopes for this film as it’s done by JJ Abrams. For the most part, he’s right on…

Ouchy. Someone get me some duct tape…

Badass…

Thanks to our cool doods at Jalopnik, this BENTLEY BEAST is my new best friend.

All it needs now is a couple of sponsored logos like Beluga Caviar or Tiffany! Maybe it comes with a Carbon Fiber Diamond Ring?

A great example of “Fish out of Water” Design. The unexpected. Now, you may not like this, but you should appreciate that someone is thinking different. Imagine doing this to a Rolls Royce? Sick…

Give to GET…

We all know this, right? In order to truly get anything in life, you have to give first. What you get in return will be a hundredfold in so many ways.

But, like most people, a lot of us think that we don’t have enough to really give in the way we need or want to. But here’s a secret… Giving gives you what you need, …to give more. And the more you give, the easier it will become.

Take Christmas. I always wondered why we only really give once a year? I mean, look at someone’s face when they receive a gift from you. Doesn’t that make you feel like you’re on top of the world?

This banner is for The Humane Society. And $5 can go miles for little faces like this. Please give. If not here, then go right now and give your pet some love. See how it makes you feel, and them too. You don’t know what something means until it’s gone.

Take a step BACK…

…In order to move forward.

It’s hard sometimes to get perspective. I believe that life is viewed much like sitting at a certain point on a tree. At the base, it’s hard to see clearly what is around you in order to get answers. But, as you climb higher, your perspective changes and you can see better, thus making a better judgment. But in order to climb, it takes effort.

I’ve been a Martial Artist since 1969. Chuck Norris being my first instructor, then many others over the years including Bob Burbidge, Benny Urquidez, Brett Gold and Billy Blanks. I became a black belt in 1991. Yea, it took a long time as schools opened, closed, instructors passed away and some went to the pokie. No kidding. But the journey has been worth it… and the next step has been revealed. My style was Tang Soo Do originally. But I now have a new Master,… and a new style of traditional Tae Kwon Do. A new Master, quite extraordinary as well. Master Simon Rhee in Woodland Hills. The style is a bit different, so I needed to remove my black belt and humble myself in order to grow. Kathie and I have joined as Blue Belts. Intermediate belts, in order to catch up and become better. Below is Master Rhee instructing one of his students.

Simon is also a professional Stuntman, Actor and Fight Choreographer in Hollywood. I’ve seen him do unbelievable things and this student is a good indication of how he trains.

Taking a step back allows you to get perspective, become humbled and help others. This, I am grateful for. Never thought I’d feel this good about going backwards. But, it really isn’t that at all. It’s the natural progression of my journey. I’d recommend it to anyone. Lose the ego and see how you can shift your perspective to help others. Oh, and see if you can find some cool cars along the way…
