Q&A with "The Flirt"

A. Why is your Code Name "The Flirt"?   

Well, it doesn't surprise me that my Code Name is "The Flirt".  I love 2 flirt!   Flirting is good 4 you & it always creates an awesome energy vibe.  I hate walking out of my office in Vegas 2 see a bunch of girls in the swimming pool & no guys flirting with them.  No flirting = No energy, which results in absolutely nothing.   Give or take, I occasionally flirt 2 much, but that's life 4 ya!  You win some & you loose some.

B. What does your Quote: "If I wanted 2 be there, I'd be there by now" really mean?

My quote, "If I wanted 2 be there, I'd be there by now" refers 2 my thinking process when flirting with girls that I am not sure about.  It also refers 2 anything in general that I am doing, thinking about doing or wishing I had done already.

C. Why did you come on this trip?

Good question.  I'm pretty sure that I could sit here & blow off a bunch of yahoo reasons on why I decided 2 go 2 Mexico, but I won't.  I love The Hype Team, as well as a good PHOTOtrip!  PHOTOtrips with a crew that possess enough energy 2 power The Hype are simply the best!  Whenever the opportunity arises, you better bet your life on it, I'll be there.  Finger on the trigger, sling pack, cell phone & camera in hand.

Exactly a year ago, The PHOTOhype Project established a solid foundation, with the documentation of The Adventures of Josh & Jules.   It was only a short weekend long PHOTOtrip 2 Yosemite National Park & San Francisco.  However, the group e-mail that followed that PHOTOtrip, made Josh & Jules a household name among my friends & online PHOTOfriends alike.  I received so many brilliant responses, which eventually sparked the idea of creating the mega web site, PHOTOhype.com.

D. What are your most memorable moments from this trip?

1.    The Surf City Hostel in Hermosa Beach.     The Hype Team, 2 German girls & I were playing Monopoly.   "The Kidd" had all the money, no property & tried 2 buy out one of the German girls...

"Look at me...  I'm f-ing polluted!" - The Kidd

2.    Ocean Beach Hostel in San Diego.  The Hype Team & I sat in the back room with my laptop & a few cans of beer.  We were all fired up 2 join the hostel at Winston's bar 2 watch the band "SoulCracker" perform, but not before we all brainstormed together, 2 edit a story 4 The PHOTOhype.com web site.

3.    Hostel Sazual in Mexico.    I found The Hype Team all snuggled up in their beds.  We were all doing our own thing -  reading a magazine, listening 2 CD's, typing on the computer & sleeping.  The rooms were very inviting & the beds were extremely comfortable.  It was the first time on this trip, that none of us said a word 2 one another...

4.    Coyote Cals in Mexico.    I took a midnight stroll outside & much 2 my amazement, I was face 2 face with millions of stars.  Shooting stars, constellations, solar systems, a super nova & even the milky way!  Please, disregard all the big mis-usage of words.  Close your eyes & envision yourself all alone in outer space.  Yup!  That's it.
