HEY LOOK IM POSTING..
well im hanging in there... day by day..
it seems each day im here things get a bit more routine...
i dont know where to begin this journal entry so let me start with this
I got my extension approved so I will not be home untill November 19....
however i will be HOME from nov. 19th till jan. 14th which means im there for x mas and new years and turkey day and all those other good things which means all the holidays im home for and all the b-days i WASENT home for....that means tally all those up and you got PARTY TIME...thats right im letting you guys know now....that leaves us only 3 months to plan...i dont care whos there (and you ppl shouldnt either)
i picked up drinking in germany and dear god i was stuck up back then when i didnt drink....so you should now cause dear lord theres no better escape.....so we throw in some jager some red bull and some vodka and maybe some corn and we be drinkin bremerhaven style :)
so start planning on it now...:) cause i need lotsa ppl and no god damn fighting...not that it wouldnt be funny when im intoxicated :)
in other news.. im just going day by day here in hawaii...
and after my extension got approved i looked into some research and found that out of 900 crew members only about 30 have extended contracts (excluding managers cause manager jobs are less back breaking and there regular contract is only 3 months anyway not 5 like me)
so out of these 30 only 2 have the maximum 8 month contracts myself and some bar waiter...the bar waiter is still on his 3rd month...im on my 5th...and i looked into this cause i wanted to know if it was normal for me to GO INSANE....you see now that im passin that 5 month mark my mind is a big mess....ask me what day it is...go ahead....i dare ya...cause i dont know it...i know now cause i dragged the mouse over the computer clock...and i dont mean the date i mean the DAY
so im finding it best to only remember things when i have too.....while im onboard work is my life...end of story....
music helps and so does zelda...but im trying to fidn other escapes as well...
cause without escapes i reall would go insane...
so get this...i took up kiteboarding..
yes kiteboarding (god help me) my lazy ass got offa my ass went out picked up a wake board and a kite and became a fanatic...who knows maybe "beach bum" is in my future....
i got a nice tan from it tho...and spend alot more time on the beach...wether im just watching...or actually out riding...
each day i fall more and more in love with the island and the sea that i dont wanna leave...
its amamzing....no matter how bad life gets or how fucked up my mind is..i can just go out on a weather deck take one breath of air and not worry about anything.
so thats my life now...
day by day week by week...
its not so bad.....if you look at it in weeks its only 14 weeks and 3 days...which doesent sound as bad right...
RIGHT????
so guys drop me a line sometime....i do like hearign from home ALOT no matter when it is ill get back if you cant reach me....so please just call if ya feel like it :)
thx so i guess thats it im out....gotta go hit crew mess then goto bed...
