100 Things attempt!
{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
So, this has been all over my flist and I really want to give it a go. I hardly ever use my LJ these days, and I'm hoping this will change that. I really had a nightmare deciding what to pick as my '100 things', but I've decided to go with
100 Things or People That Have Made Me Happy
I know it's a bit of a cop out not to pick something more specific, but this way I can cover so many things that I'm interested in - books, films, music, history, animal welfare ..
So without further ado
ELI MARTINEZ
Eli is a shark diver and is the founder, publisher and editor of Shark Diver Magazine. Now, there are a lot of shark divers in the world. But none of them come close to doing what Eli is doing, not only with the sharks in the water, but what he's doing for sharks outside of the water also. He's such a great ambassador for these beautiful creatures and I have so much respect for this man. Watching him interact with the sharks he works with is incredible. I've never seen anything like it. It's his complete respect for them, and his understanding of their nature, that makes the relationship he has with them possible. I've learnt so much from Eli online. I truly hope that I will be able to meet him some day, and even better - dive with him!
Watch this video and you'll see exactly why I find this man so amazing and inspiring!
