I think
it's neat

Welcome to my web site!
You have probably arrived here because you have recently received a massage from me at the Professional Massage Center www.professionalmassagecenter.com, and you want to check out some of the things we talked about. I know I can talk a lot, and some of the stuff I talk about is a little…out there, so I’ll do my best to cover most of the topics I tend to discuss.
If you are at my site by some other path again I say welcome. The internet is a marvelous place but you can easily get lost in the crowd. Just so everyone here is on the same page I'm going to give everyone a quick blurb on who I am and what I’ve been doing.
As the web site says, I'm Shawn
Gilbert
and I've been a massage therapist for 15 years (give or take). I moved to
Palm Bay about 8 years ago from Portland Oregon at the encouragement of my
best friend Paul Beach
www.beachproductions.com.
While
going back to massage school to get my
Florida license I met Andee who, after time, grew to love me. Go
figure. We have now been together for going on 5 years.
You have probably noticed the pictures and symbols along the sides of the page. I am attempting to put links to pertinent web sites that reflect my beliefs and topics I have introduced you to. It won't be perfect, but give me some time.
Don't forget to check out my picture
Oh,
don't forget to check out Paul's website on how to
get the most car
for your money! If you plan on buying a new care this could be the most
important read of your life.

The Technology of Eternal Life
Chasing Immortality
An interview with Ray Kurzweil
by Craig Hamilton
I recently spent some
time in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, helping with hurricane
relief efforts, and I was deeply touched by the expanse of the
devastation. I'm no stranger to the threat of hurricanes; I live in
Palm Bay,
Florida, and we got hit pretty hard in 2004.
But Jeanne and Francis were NOTHING like what I saw in the aftermath of Katrina. Quite frankly, I was stunned beyond my ability to describe it. My heart goes out to the people who lost their lives and their homes.
I'm
only one little person, but I want to do something more to help.
That's why I want to tell you about a different kind of house. It's a
HURRICANE RESISTANT structure, and it is simply a better idea than the
conventional, four walls and a truss, decking, shingle system house.
It's called a GEODESIC DOME, and they've been around for a few decades. These particular geodesic domes are a CONCRETE FORM structure - VERY tough! My friend calls these houses aesthetically challenged, but I think they look very cool, and they outclass conventional houses in every way!
The bottom line is this - Geodesic Dome Homes are a better idea. Period! I believe they're the way of the future. If you're faced with rebuilding after this terrible catastrophe, please do yourself the favor of looking into the option of a dome home. Maybe we can avoid this kind of devastation in the future.
