The most interesting man in the world
[QUOTE=Makana9;6531031]I could not have said it any better, 5 to you man. Bringing the religious right into this conversation SMH here we go again, left-wing talking out of the wrong side of their head. I have worked in various countries around the world including Dubai and 2 other areas of the Middle East was eye-opening and before I worked there with 2 others went through rigorous edu on the culture so not too get into it as they put it get in deep deep shsst just by doing what we look at the cultures differences. Learned a lot, respected and built many business relationships and yes, I dated one (that's a long long story) on how we met, the trouble I had in the beginning got us into, and also realized the beauty of the women in that part of the world, but also the big cultural differences she had with her ohana. FYI, it was major fun while it lasted all 2 yrs. Working overseas. Good thoughts, Dark, well written and and thought, really cool.[/QUOTE]I must say I'm impressed by your life's resume. It's remarkable how many hats you've worn from an occupational standpoint. I'm just working from memory here because I'm too lazy to re read your posts, but here goes. If I'm not mistaken you've worked in construction, as bartender, been in a popular local band, done work in multiple medical offices, been a coach and player in multiple sports including at least football, volleyball, baseball, have advised and guided younger entrepreneurs in getting their businesses started, have owned your own businesses solely and with partners, worked overseas in multuple countries including Dubai, have worked with executive level professionals in large local firms and been invited to black tie events by at least one boardroom female exec (that's impressive because it means she was comfortable with your presence at such a presumably snobbish affair), worked at an ad agency, and I'm probably forgetting some. Whew! Quite a full life not many of us could even imagine to experience.
Congrats on living to the max!
