I'm finally in Singapore now. China sucked. My ship was hit by this tramp frieghter in Chinesse waters, they wouldn't let us off the ship, and blackmarket beer was $110 for four cases! Ouch.

Singapore on the other hand rocks! I have three more weeks working here in the shipyard, then I'm free. Yay! It's like a free vacation. I just picked up a guide...

Alaska is cold. But the mountains and glaciers were incredible as I flew in today. It looks like there is a pretty cool crew this time, so that will make the time go by a bit faster. Still, I just want to vegg out on vacation... And finally, I get to sail with a very cool and very hot girl. Maybe this will be better...

Yeah, so Im only two plane rides, and a night in a hotel away from being back at work on the ship again. Dont I sound excited? Oh well, Singapore is going to be really cool. Or so I keep telling myself. Five months of vacation will be even cooler though.

Well when you finally make it back here, I'll buy ya a beer. You'll need it by that time.

I am such the workoholic. But I am actually taking both my days off from work this week, and not having any contact with the gallery for both of them. So far so good.

Have fun in Singapore.

Five months of vacation will be really, really cool.

clara:
It's so sweet of you to offer a mix. I'm looking into getting a PO Box so I'll have a good place to tell all the nice people who offered to send such things. If I can get my act together I'll absolutely let you know.

Oh, Hawaii! smile

Still stuck onboard the ship. But its OK, I didnt really want to go home... Yeah, Im lying. I want to go traveling NOW. No more work, just tropical islands...

I love Hawaii.

The more time I spend here, the more I want to move here. But then I cant figure out where I want to live these days. Portland? Bay Area? New Orleans? Maui? I have a couple months on the ship to figure it out. To figure out where to go in my life. I feel lost lately...

The phone rang and woke my ass up. It was work. So I have to go back to the ship early. Like two weeks early. Im none too happy, but I will survive. So I now have about four days of freedom left, then back to the grind. On the bright side, the first voyage is to Hawaii, so hopefully I...

OK, still a bit sick. But I managed to talk on the phone for a few hours and started working out a new song. Now I think Ill finally around to watching Frida, which I rented a couple of days ago.

Oh yeah, I should probably finish mastering my friend Xriss latest demo sometime soon too
