At the beach. Santa Monica

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

santa monica is NOT the beach. the beach is manhattan beach, hermosa, redondo, OC beaches, HB etc.

anything else is lame.

[numba1stunna4269]

Awesome!

[carefulcarpenter]

A bright star in the heavens; one star against the backdrop of eternity. One shining example of the human spirit manifest against the blackness of the abyss. Serenity in the wake of chaos. The endless beach of posterity.

[carefulcarpenter]

Plus, you might need a place to stay the night?

[manoftruth]

cc, what state are you in?

[carefulcarpenter]

Northern California, Santa Cruz

[manoftruth]

Dude, i am in Sacramento.

[carefulcarpenter]

You took interstate 5 up north. Maybe next time.

[mn8aol]

Santa Cruz is the first city in the nation to be fully controlled by Agenda 21 and "Sustainable" Development.

[Pnkbong]

I wish I live in Santa Monica.

[manoftruth]

It is very nice. Hope to visit again!

[origirox]

Bizarre, I was just at Whole Foods in Santa Monica today. I enjoyed the community gardens and the Farmer's Market. Lovely day =)

[manoftruth]

Yep, a lot of bizarre things are taking place. I am going to be be going to farmers markets a lot more.

[detroitgreeks]

making me mad..its cold in Detroit

[mn8aol]

it was a beautiful day here in the Southeast

[manoftruth]

Nice here in Northern California also. Thinking of doing a get together up here also.

[mn8aol]

Head for the bible belt MOT-- we'll set you straight.

[InvestigatEverything]

MOT has forgotten that we tuned into his vids for his financial perspective on things to come. Lately all the vids have been "feel good" vids. What's up MOT... how about a nugget or two of TRUTH now and then??

[manoftruth]

OK, investigate. gold at 1137, or so i Hear. yep. more heavy finance stuff. Needed a calif break. will hit finance stuff maybe even today.

[InvestigatEverything]

Now That's what I'm talking about!! Remember that some of us woke up on the economy because of your vids!! Yeah, Gold hit the roof today. Dollar dropped below 75. Bernanke came out and said they are watching the dollar but don't intend to raise rates for "some time", which I thought was pretty funny because basically that means he is watching the dollar tank. If he really cared, shouldn't he be doing more than watching the dollar crash.

Also, the market was up to it's highest...

[InvestigatEverything]

On some inflated smoke and mirrors news that retails sales were up in October driven by car sales. What a crock of crap. Boy there really are some idiots on Wall Street. My guess is that as long as the dollar continues to tank, the market will continue to rise, since it is priced in dollars, to adjust for the loss in value. As you have said before, if you look at the value of the dollar in relation to the market, it is still underpriced.

Some very interesting months ahead. Enjoy the beach!

[mja2035]

I feel that same way when I visit LA, Hawaii, etc.

[SilverRose09]

Do you really want to know what a beautiful beach is in California, go to Pebble Beach, that is really a spiritual experience. The best in the world!

[manoftruth]

Yep. I love Pebble and the cypress trees. Very nice!

[carefulcarpenter]

California is a state of mind-- one can be in cloudy Germany and still feel the rays beaming through the haze of conformity.

[mn8aol]

Ah...yessss....California... the spiritual home of Alger Hiss's draft of the U.N. Charter, Gorbachev's Presidio Foundation, first Local Agenda 21 (sustainable development) initiative in Santa Cruz.

[carefulcarpenter]

And don't forget "Tarot card Ronnie" and Charles I'm not your executioner" Manson.

[mn8aol]

Heh, cc, I thought I would go with a Communist theme.

[carefulcarpenter]

Okay, now I am boasting, but this is a direction we all must research at one time in our life. Where do I come from; and where am I heading? From a spiritual stance, I'd say we are a product of forces beyond our comprehension. What Great Spirit is to us may determine our fate

I discovered that I come from 4, possibly 5 signers:Hale, Hall, and maybe Clark directly, and Stockton and Wolcott by way of marriages by two of my g g aunts.

I carry the independent genes as well as the free spirit.

[carefulcarpenter]

We're not just about genes. Spirit is a subtle and enigmatic force that permeates our being. Certain places seem to draw these things to us, but in reality they come from within us. Soldiers discover these things by the "way of the warrior"; but there are other paths. You are correct, in that groups stifle spirit and drown creativity and reason. The "individual" must have their "place"-- their "Walden".

[mn8aol]

My Grandmother's maiden name was Hall.

I'll stick with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

[carefulcarpenter]

See, it is so obvious that we are related. My great great great grandmother was a Hall-- that line is directly descended all the way back to Earl Fitzwilliam, who was seated at Greatford Hall in Lincolnshire, after the Norman Conquest. The younger son was named "Hall"-- Arthur Hall 1090 A.D. You are nobility, sir!

Lyman Hall, signer(1724-1790)

[mn8aol]

I'll have to look into that cc.

[carefulcarpenter]

A correction: Frances Lewis was a signer, not Hale. Nathan Hale was a Yale grad. and a Revolutionary War hero. My mother was a Lewis( Meriwether Lewis and William Clark). Not sure about how far back we are connected to the Clarks yet. There was a Meriwether Clark Lewis in her family.

Great grandmother was a Kinzie(Hale,Hall). Dad's middle name was "Nelson" and I find a Thomas Nelson as an additional signer. I heard that dad (Nelson) was a family name. I could possibly have 6 signers...

[carefulcarpenter]

I have an interesting story about Benjamin Hall's wife, my great great great grandmother-- Margaret McKenzie Kinzie Hall. My great great great grandfather Hale married their daughter, and my great great grandfather Kinzie married their grand daughter.

[carefulcarpenter]

Great great great grandmother Margaret's sister Elizabeth married a Clark. I don't know yet if they go back to Abraham Clark of New Jersey, but my cousins are from there. Still researching.

[manoftruth]

hight cc. I feel I "comprehend' the forces of where I came from.

[manoftruth]

and birthplace of MOT

[carefulcarpenter]

Can you be more spacific, MOT? What does it mean--you know--to be a drop in the ocean, and THE ocean, at the same moment?

Really, what is wealth?

[manoftruth]

I am me. Not a drop in the ocean, even I tho I do see the connection.

[carefulcarpenter]

Just thought I would add a bit of zen-ness to the mix. Glad to know others can understand the heights and depths of the spirit-- the infinitely small and the infinitely massive.

Hope you can suggest a Northern Cali get-together.

[carefulcarpenter]

How about the new Santa Cruz Whole Foods on Soquel? Not too far from the beach.

[jamiedore]

A spiritual experience? C'mon mot. Stop thanking 'god' and bimbamboozling the guys that believed in your earlier, accurate, relative posts... Stick a crab in G4T's trunks and deliver us some more economic guruness. If you turn religious on the YT masses, at least half will miss the point. Even worse - the original 1st half will abandon hope.

[vincentvangro]

u mean more like most would stop listening to him because he believes in god and there hate for that far out weighs logic and reason? do i need to expand on this?

[RedDawn2009]

Grab a boogie board and film yourself.

Do it for us that are living in our bunkers

In the snow! I'm serious. Grab a board.

Reddawn2009

[Travinyle1]

very nice

[manoftruth]

high five

[Crzykjn]

OMG. From 1:25 then on, you look just like Jeff Bridges on The Big Lebowski, minus the beard and the White Russian. Duderino. :)

[manoftruth]

maybe I will see him at the beach today. Rock on!!

[Crzykjn]

Indeed.  That would be cool. I've had spiritual experiences by going from one demographic area working and then working in another(from the suburbs to the ghetto back and forth). My most memorable spiritual experience was a particular day jogging to the top of a mountain in South Korea, though. Days like those seem to be behind me now with mortgage, family, work, and all. :(

[passingcloud01]

I had the strangest dream last night, suddenly the whole city was shut down with severe shortage of food with everyone trying to buy off the last left over food in grocery stores and I was like ahhh should have listened to MOT and stocked up on food! I mean its like we think about it and we brush it off because you're like I'm sure it wouldn't be THAT bad but then if it is anything like it was in my dream, people are going to wish they listened to you,if they didn't onlywhen its already too late

[manoftruth]

Dreams are one of the MAIN ways God communicates with some of us nowadays.

[vintagethought]

i know why you left cali.....they are a bunch of hippie commies. god left most of cali along time ago

[Crzykjn]

@vintagethought I'm sure not all hippies are/were commies, just the liberals, not to be confused with libertarians. I've never been to California myself, and I've been around the world. One day, maybe before it falls into the Pacific.

[vintagethought]

what i said was a generalization but does go for the majority. the gay movement stomped on crosses and pushed around an old lady when we voted against gay marriage and a burglar that fell through a skylite and broke his leg sued the homeowner and won. dont get me wrong there are alot of good people there, i was born and raised and u should visit, beautiful areas, but dont expect to beable to defend yourself, and if you do, know that u will go to jail and your assailant will walk. god bless

[vintagethought]

and hippies do have a socialist or commie point of view. doesnt make them bad people they just dont believe in free market competition....if i'm wrong please explain, this is just my observation

[strongbadXCP]

How can you be a "good person" and a communist at the same time?

[vintagethought]

thats pretty funny..seriously.

ahhh..i actually dont know...i just dont like to judge people untill i meet them or see their actions.

example...met a latvian guy a while ago who was a reformed commie after the ussr fell and he became a good friend and he had a good heart just a different idea politically. plus hippies are all about love and peace and helping eachother out...they just dont produce much..doesnt make you bad..does it?

that really was pretty funny...u kinda stumped me

[waldentree]

I can dig it  : )

[Cleric775]

Are you telling the Seagulls to "f*ck off"?

[jetztisfeierabend]

oh that looks really amazing . that Sunny Beach made my day in cold and cloudy germany.

Thanks for sharing

[manoftruth]

Hi jetz. I will go bag some rays for you today!

[rblwoaclu]

Hes so awesome. I am in awe of him...

[rad4life1]

I love the Pasific, she has quite the sense of humar once you get to know her ;)

[bnash2002]

ah the spirit, when ur there its obvious!.

[itchi123]

i envy you right now :(

[NowisEvollovetion]

Santa Monica, it looks like Blackpool without all the turds.

Nothing short of Beautiful.

[Rockguitarnow]

Wow, my ancestors helped found Santa Monica, establishing the first bank there too :)

[Winst0nOBoogie]

"We can live beside the ocean...

Leave the fires behind...

Swim out past the breakers and watch the world die..."

Cool MoT

[askmeif]

Mot, when I heard you say you were going to the beach and go for a swim, I recognized that ambition from your Mexico trip. Yeh, your going to the beach but your not going in.  Alittle colder than you thought eh? Nice to see you appreciating the coast , take care Mot.

[manoftruth]

going to beach again tomorrow. patience

[UVpirate]

Looks awesome. Wish I was there. Go surfing.

[mamahenof6]

It looks beautiful MOT :) I have never seen the ocean :( Been stuck in the middle of this continent of ours most of my life. Living on and loving the prairies. Raising my family. I have seen the rockies though and they are beautiful. But never got to the west coast. Some day when I have more time for myself. I will go see the ocean. :)

God Bless :)

[aceyorba]

WELCOME TO TAXIFORNIA usa.. GTREAT PLACE TO VISIT... JUST DONT WORK IN THE STATE...

[vashguud]

Nice video. I think you would really enjoy Port Aransas Beach (north padre island basically) if your ever in South Tejas. Waters warmer! Kalifornia such a great state. Ruined by poor spending and legal habits.

[kymopar]

no..hes just a figment of YOUR imagination...

[Pvtjamesryan2]

I haven't seen the beach in ages. Terrific video!! =)

[satirycon7]

MOT vacation!

[chena3]

oh booo hooo...

last night was -5 below

and that's not even cold yet

[Crzykjn]

I don't see how people decide to live in these places. I live in Wisconsin and I hate it, especially being from southern Louisiana. The misses is from here, so I'm stuck.

[mike520784]

any waves?

[hunt1803]

Beaches everywhere are pretty nice... Cali beaches, Oregon beaches, Florida beaches, Texas beaches, North Carolina beaches, the beaches of Southern Spain - I've been to a few. I prefer the deserted, quiet beaches. Stopped at a gorgeous one on Penang Island some years ago, and another on Pulau Tioman, and spent many years walking the beaches in Alaska. God's work is so very evident where the land meets the oceans...

[Annihilate3275]

cool!

[omiolo2]

you act like you have rarely seen the beach.

[rdority]

Beautiful ! Almost looks like you're water skiing!

[giftandprosper]

I lived in southern Cali a long time ago. MOT, you should check out a beach just south of Laguana Beach.. it was called Thousand Steps back in the day cos you had to take all these stairs to get to it. Absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for the reminder of the beauty of the ocean and of God that lives in each of us.

Rhiannon

[magbigblock]

Beautiful for sure...never been there, but it's on my list before I die. I hope we don't sell it off for our debt... :(

[cornmom2002]

Saturday and where are all he people?

I grew up there. I used to swim to the buoys.

Yeah, thanks God.

btw, I know stupid question but how do you rate a video?

[morningmayan]

just click on the star you want:)

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!!

[PressForFreedom]

I feel the same way about South Florida, the beauty is amazing.

[mysacredhonor]

Great spirit?

[REDEMPTIONthreadz]

yeah, weird....

[ray12970]

Very Nice MOT, Thanks. Camera works great nothing wrong with the video or sound. Enjoy.

[kymopar]

God is not a spirit mot...remember?

[TheBookArchive]

god is just a figment of your imagination and the figment of billions and billions of stupid people's money

[sphindog]

If God is just a figment of his imagination, why are you so upset? There are authors who creat people their novels, figments of their imagination, and they bring in millions, yet I'm sure you don't have a problem with that, right? You obviously have an agenda, here. If you were a true athiest, you would even leave a response...but, seeing the anamocity you share, I'm thinking that someone in your past who professed Christianity hurt you, right? Now all who believe in God are stupid. Riiiight....

[TheBookArchive]

You misread me and your stereotypical assumptions were inaccurate. I don't read fiction just for that reason. I don't read about others imagination, especially when I have my own. Just another reason not to read the bible.

[Robert697]

Well TBA, when you wake up and find yourself with no sense of sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell, yet fully aware of every moment you've ever lived, you will then know that your desire to be totally separated from God has been fully and eternally achieved.

Good luck with that.

[vincentvangro]

im your huckleberry

[TheBookArchive]

Thanks vincent. always nice to have italy on my side =].

[fatpius]

without a doubt, the sexiest words ever spoken

but, it went like this.

"I'll be your huckleberry".

[vincentvangro]

i know how it was said but i had to make it my own ;IP

[oddfellowsbooks]

I'm thinking about a Sheryll Crow song right now... Great uplifting video! I wanna walk in the Sun!

[NOweWONT]

The flight glasses look better on you than the ones you wore in the last video. They just fit your face better.

[EricShermansChannel]

MOT, I'm going to head down there now, if I don't see you I'll go to the Borders on the corner of the Promenade and Wilshire, about 2 blocks toward the ocean from Whole Foods, so I can use their WiFi.

[slobomotion]

Oh, don't listen to them, MoT, you love France, too, but you spell things phonetically, which is fine! What a journey you've been on, huh?

[canuck350]

Wow. I must say, California has the weather. It's freezing (feels like it) here in Vancouver Canada. We get that damp cool weather in fall and winter. Hate it. I sure miss Summer and Spring.

[EricShermansChannel]

Santa monica? You're practically in Malibu, where were you Sunset/PCH, the pier looks like an ant. Whole foods on 5/6th near promenade, got it.

[oyate1960]

Pilamaye Yelo Wakan Tanka.

[YKAEYA]

seagulls speak spanish!

[justamomforjesus]

I love California

[bearmare]

I guess you can't take everything away from California. The beauty of the state is just overwhelming. Why did you leave California? Why did you? MOT. This IS your land!!
