Recently I have gone hiking in Seaside Oregon. I have tried the Tillamook Head trail. It is located near the golf course and to the left of the Tides motel. I only did this hike once and chose to end it early since it was getting dark. The time was 8 pm and something weird happened. I can across a strange guy who appeared to be a bum or someone who was poorly dressed. This guy was singing to himself and was walking with a stick. As we approached each other I said Hi hows it going or something to this effect. He doesn’t respond and keeps singing to himself. He was walking extremely slow. This was another reason I didn’t continue on from this unusual situation. I decided to head back since it just seemed too weird to me. On the way back I passed a group of about 4 boys and 1 girl. I asked if they had seen the guy and they too thought he was strange.
The girl ran by the guy as they passed. He did talk a few words to these kids. I plan to try this hike another time since I think it could have some really nice views of the ocean.

Lately I have been going on hikes. I enjoy hiking in the Oregon coastal range. Last weekend I hiked a trail right before you get to Manzanita. You park on the Ocean side on 101 then cross the road to get to this trail. Also you can hike on the Ocean side for a few miles. The hike I chose is Neakanie Mountain which reaches 1700 ft. What is weird is I find older people doing these hikes like it is nothing too it. I’m a big guy and they make it look so easy. This trail is located in Oswald State park. If you go to state parks you can buy a annual pass for 25.00 which I did. I look forward to more hikes and prefer to keep trying new hikes as they are more exciting to me.

I have looked at different type of businesses that would be worth buying. My first plan is to probably buy cheaper real estate and build assets this way. I usually go on a website to research different businesses that are for sale. One that looks like a good investment is owning nursing homes. A few of the ones for sale I noticed were small business administration approved. This is the government agency. This is a sign that the risk is less then a normal type of business. The demand for nursing home space is great because of the baby boomers. Recently our family put my grandmother into a private nursing home. We didn’t want to do it but it was the best for her at this stage in her life. The doctors gave her six months to live and she has surpassed this already. One thing you do have to watch out with nursing homes is the illinois nursing home neglect. So you may want to do your research if your placing a loved one into a nursing home. My grandmother is in a catholic private one and by no means is it cheap. I don’t think any nursing home is low cost thats for sure. This reminds me some of the big wall street companies. chicago nursing home abuse attorneys is who you want to goto if you know anyone you think has been abused. This is not something you want to think about but its something you should really watch out for. I have seen hidden cameras on TV shows that catch these evil people. One situation I remember seeing on tv was one of the caretakers was caught on camera smothering a elderly with a pillow. They would never of been caught without this hidden camera. Im thinking of moving to mid usa, maybe Nebraska or somewhere around this area. So If I do every get enough capital to get into a nursing home I will be looking out for abuse. illinois nursing home negligence lawyer is the first company I will contact if I run into this situation on my own.

E! News says, E! News has learned that mom and dad did all the cooking for the alcohol-free affair, which included fried chicken and chili.
Security was tight at Serenity, with police setting up a roadblock and checking IDs. By noon, only about 50 cars were allowed to enter, mostly filled with college-age men and women. There was no sign of Jamie Lynn’s baby daddy/fiancé, Casey Aldridge.

I have been out of the celebrity gossip area and this one is a shocker. All the lime light is off of britney spears and on to the little sister. I’m not sure on her age but my guess is around 20 years old. At least she has enough money to take care of the new born.

Star says, Jessica’s health problems were “brought on by drinking an obscene amount of alcohol,” says the source. “She was treated for a kidney infection, a bladder infection and a urinary tract infection.”
Adding to her distress, anxious Jessica asked doctors to give her a pregnancy test! “She was a nervous wreck,” says the insider. “She was three weeks late and convinced she was pregnant. She was feeling really weak and really scared. She was unraveling.”
Maybe she isn’t recovered from boyfriend Tony Romo’s big first round playoff loss?

Jessica Simpson seems so much like a goody toosh. I wouldn’t think shes a alcoholic. Technically that say anyone who drinks socially is a alcoholic. I don’t buy into that theory. The drug councilors say it though. Pregnant? who knows. She is dating professional quarter back of the Dallas Cowboys. I don’t find him very good at football so maybe he slipped up and is having a baby.

Apparently Celine Dion isn’t going to be doing shows in las vegas. I didn’t confirm this but under the impression of this. The famous Cher is going to be doing shows in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. She expected to start in may 2008. You can get Cher tickets at Ceasar’s Palace if your looking to have some fun entertainment while in vegas.

This reminds me of the Gene Simmons recent episode. He did a show in las vegas. He almost missed it when he broke down driving through the desert by himself. He was rescued by carrot top. I guess they have become friends. The dildo clued to gene simmons was funny as hell. Gene still says it was a masager. The guy who set Gene Simmons concert wanted to get him to do shows everyday for a year. Gene declined since it was too many days in a row.

If I had the chance I think I would move and live in Las vegas. I could only dream. Maybe if I get good enough at texas holdem and win some huge WPT tournaments. I almost got into a WPT 10,000 buyin tourny up in canada. I came in 3rd. I actually was shooting for 2nd or so . I wanted the cash instead. Its for sure money . I still made over 2k which isnt bad for 4 hours of play.

Stephen King makes some really good thriller movies. I remember when I was a kid he came out with the movie Silver bullet. It was released back in 1986. I was really enjoyed the modified wheel chair Cory Haim had in the movie.

One of my friends recommended me watch the movie Hostile which is showing on cable TV. This movie has some bloody parts. If your into horror movies check this movie out.

I ran into the trailer for the new Stephen King movies The Mist by Stephen King. The trailer shows a mist outside and a mystery to whats happening to the town. It did show some bugs attaching to the windows of a store many people are trapped in.

Another good movie that Stephen King made was Pet Sematary. A family moves out to the country to get away from the city life. The highway they move near has a lot of traffic from semis that kill animals. The family buries a cat in the backyard which is a ancient sematary. The cat later comes back to life. One day the family is having a picnic and cage one of the children wonders into the road and gets killed. They wonder if they can bury the child like the cat and the child will return to life.

I will mention this movie to a good friend of mine. He loves thriller movies. The Mist comes out this week Nov 21st. Be sure to go see it. Looks like a great movie.

I probably have mentioned it before in the past but I love investments and making money. The best investment anyone can make is in real estate. On the west coast were I live the prices have finally gone up over the years. They are still below what Los Angeles or Seattle Washington markets are.

Back in the late 70’s my dad bought a two bedroom home for $27,000. My parents just had my brother and later my grandmother moved in. So this was way to small of a house. They sold it for around $50,000 and used the profit to put down on the new four bedroom three bathroom home. I think they paid $78,000 for it. If they were to remodel it they could probably sell it for $400,000.

My dads cousin made a really good real estate investment. He owned a condo that he bought for $80,000 probably around 1980. He would still have it today but he got in financial trouble and had to sell it. He sold it for $300,000 however today it would be worth at least $500,000.
He does own a home larger then my dads that is worth at least $500,000 if it was remodeled or updated. If you really want to find a good price on property you should check mid state. You can still find great deals in todays markets in places such as real estate in Denver

My fathers cousin is in his late sixties now. He calls over here quite a bit to tell me certain shows are on. He’s a sub school teacher. So History is his bread and butter. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure a few years back. He was even given a handicap parking permit to use. In his condition he was given at least three years to live. His heart is twice the size of a normal heart. Our family placed my grandmother in a care homes recently at the age of 96. My dads cousin says he doesn’t want to be in a home. The thing is people get these misconceptions that the homes are torture. When a person gets to the age that requires more attention then the average person can produce its the best option I think.
Like my grandmother needed medical attention that our family couldn’t really provide. She has bed sores needing to be rotated every two hours or so. She needs special lotion on her legs, needs to be changed and bathed. She also needs to be hand feed. She takes medication so she doesn’t choke. There are many things that a care home can provide that family usually doesn’t have the time. Its a 24 hour a day job to adequately take care of her. I wish others understood this but they don’t.
