There are some kava bars throughout the country, none in my neck of the woods sadly. I am actually thinking about selling some at farmers markets and music festivals in my area as a little side job in the future. I would love to get away from computer work and open a kava bar, but the thought of a business failure scares me too much to try.

"A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." (John Shedd)

On the other hand, isn't it like 50% of new businesses that fail within the first year?

Maybe start out trying it as a sideline, then if successful go whole hog? I've had some biz ideas too, but never the capital or balls to try to really go for it.

Such a pvssy.

You could try to predict what state will next legalize 'juana, go get set up there and start making edibles that you could keep in cold storage until you were free to sell...

I'm selling some microphones online. A guy from CL has been going back and forth with me for a week. He's out of town, wants me to come deliver it to him. I can't get over to him, said I would ship it for $10 extra (probably half the cost of shipping) and he kind of made some kind of snide remark like "it's not that far man, just come over here and I'll buy it", after I told him I work all day and I can't make a 2-3 hour round trip on a weeknight. So I basically blew him off with a sarcastic remark back, then he emailed me straight back and said he would do PayPal and shipping. I kind of want to just ignore him, since he ticked me off. Am I being bullheaded?

Probably true. This is the state where fargin tattoo parlors weren't legal until 2006, thanks to those "small government" neocons.

On the other hand, the state needs revenue and the politicos likes they moneys.

Frankly I don't care about the legality of it anymore. Due to health concerns I can't drink anymore, I quit tobacco, so I need some vice, right? I'm not heavy into it like I used to be, but it does help my pain and helps with sleep and stress.

Not sure why, but the kava taste description of "licking a wet stone" has me wanting to try it.

This has my tastebuds tingling and jingling as well.

Illegality has not and will never stop people.



Any kratom users? I've been intrigued, but I'm more mainstream with my substance abuse.

Got the enclosure drilled for the rat clone - should have that finished up soon (if the endless barrage of homework ever shaging stops).

Work has been stressful. The big boss came down hard on dickheads in the office, after which he said some very awesome stuff about/to me. The guy is awesome, very smart, fair and kind - he's also HUGE physically - pushing 7' if not over it - when he gets mad HOLY poopie.

I have nothing to worry about, he knows I care about the company and my job and he says we're all going to make a "shitload of money" in the next couple of years. So things with the dickheads might get better, or they might get canned. It's going to be tense tomorrow.

Work trip to Albuquerque next week. Probably shouldn't go because it'll reduce homework time but I don't care at this point. Haven't been back to visit since I left in 04 - so it'll be cool. Trying to arrange a meet up with some friends but I don't know if that'll be possible. I'll be in and out in just less than 48 hours and every second is accounted for. Oh well. Finally going to get my goddamn Blake's Green Chile Cheeseburger.

Back to homework...
