I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm working on the Grandeur of the Seas for Royal Caribbean now. I get paid to travel! How cool is that? I'm looking forward to going home and seeing my friends and family though. I've had a great time onboard and look forward to hanging with everyone I've met again, but it's time for a rest. The parties are great, and the people rock. I suggest cruising to anyone who doesn't get seasick.

My Interests

Music:

any and all, (wait for the irony) except, for the most part, country and rap.

Movies:

The Fifth Element, Serenity

Television:

Firefly, Samurai Jack

Books:

The more the merrier. 'Read' is my advice to everyone

Heroes:

The people I see every day.

Politics on ships

Ships

Life will never be easy for anyone, and for me, I work on a ship, so it's tough to do the things everyone else takes for granted. I only really have one choice for a bar, unless I want to spend too mu...

As you may know

Lots of things have been happening, as some may know or not know. I'm on my way to Baltimore once again to sail out of that port for the season. It's a great place to be out of, so at least that'...

Unattainable

Is is not every man's dream to strive for what he knows is unattainable? Why doesn't he realize that the thing that he most strives for is beyond his grasp? Shouldn't he see that it will never be his ...

Airplane ramblings

After looking over all the facts, I have decided that the answers lie in the mouses mouth, who was eaten by a cat, who was killed by the farmer for urinating on the rug one to many times. Knowing this...

A Fool's Errand

I dont even know where to begin. What are the thoughts that are running through my head? I cant even get a good grasp on them. For some reason, the last couple of days my mind has been running. The pr...

Going home? I think not!

Well, the verdict is in. I might be going home on the 24th of this month. Of course, that's exactly what they told me two other times, but with different dates. I was in leaving mode, and now I have t...

It's been a long time since I've written. I've done some goofy stuff for people around me, but nothing that I would really want to put up for everyone to see, nor would I expect anyone to understand i...
