The world’s greatest quote about the beauteous nature of scars

February 8th, 2008 by Jonathan

 
Ever since I was wee-lad I loved a good scar.  I guess everyone has their little fetishes in life; for me it’s scars.   To a certain degree they symbolize the beauty and perfection of the human body.  The more strain and pressure that the human body endures, the stronger and more durable it becomes; a [...]

Tamarindo Costa Rica is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world.

January 20th, 2008 by Jonathan

 The beauty of Tamarindo beach is remarkable.  Never have I been to a beach as soft, soothing and desolate as the one I found in Tamarindo:  perfect for beach lovers, surfers, sun-worshipers, and practitioners of the art of doing nothing.  A short walk left or right and you can stake a claim to your own [...]
