About Me

I feel an irrepresible need to challenge myself on a daily basis. I figure if you don't test your limits you'll never know what you're capable of. The goal is to live an extraordinary life. Don't want mine to be like anyone else's. In the words of a badass author, "I don't want to die without any scars." I feel the need to see each and every place in the world. Just hoping that I turn out to be immortal so it can happen.

My Interests

Readin', writin' and some heated discussions. Perfecting the role of smart-ass. Expanding my mind and invigorating my body. Addicted to exercise and coffee, beat poets and absurdist writers, punk rock and jazz. Conflict, ya gotta love it.

Anyone that's not normal. Normal is boring. Anyone with who has something interesting to say is welcome. Subversives, cynics, alchemists and super-villains unite.

My Blog

Lots of ins, outs and what-have-yous

Aha. Well I haven't felt motivated to wrtie anything in a long stretch of time. Translation: I've been fucking lazy. Especially considering the amount of time I've spent on land in the last four month...

This should not be read. It's a piece of crap.

The older I get the more I seem to draw myself away from people. From contact. Or is this cyclical? I can remember feeling this way before and swinging back around to a feeling of closeness with other...

Oh man..In the garbage??

I saw a guy pissing in a garbage can the other day. One of those big, thirty-three gallon cans. The can in question was directly next to two toilets. Toilets that have been out of commission for about...

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!

Oh boy has the galley fallen from my good graces. Last night I go up there to eat before sitting stand-by. All that's left is one pancake. And it is stuck to the bottom of the pan. And the cooks are a...

Hot Bloggin'

I filed this one under "Romance & Relationships" since I am in love with myself. As I'm sure some of you will confirm. The sun is out and we're hand-jetting. Does life get any better? Really, though, ...

Movies. Shitty Ones

Jesus, that last entry was depressing! Sounds like so much of a good time out here, eh? Well. Im still bored stiff. And not stiff in a good way. One of the realities of being out here is that you watc...

Nothing. Absolutely Nothing

Boredom and insanity threaten to overthrow conscious moments. I am at work, but not working. We sit here, waiting for the weather to improve. Then we work for two days and repeat. Five days waiting fo...

Random murmerings

Damn, if I don't go back to work soon I'm going to forget how to do my job. I have been on land almost a week, now. And I was only offshore for a week the last time I was out. I'm getting reeeally spo...
