I consider myself a moderate/leaning towards liberal democrat. I'm not entirely a bleeding heart liberal, but neither do I consider myself a conservative. The reason I put this up is background to this rant which happened because I posted this picture to shut up some of the more crazy tea baggers which are my family on my facebook feed:



Now what follows some people on my facebook feed can see- The old chief firefighter on board the ship I used to work on replies with "You're right. Liberals are WORSE than Hitler" and promptly defriends me. Now usually my indifference meter would kick in, or my smart ass button would o and I'd reply back with some along the lines of "meh" or "Last I've seen, [insert liberal politician here] throwing people into death camps, so you might need your glasses checked there cool guy." But no for some reason it annoyed the shit out of me until I realized "Hey you're letting a guy who was fired from the ship because he jumped overboard trying to commit suicide because his wife found he was fucking half the waitresses on board, in broad daylight get to you." I know he did this because a lovely German couple videotaped the rescue of him and it's now on youtube. Now, not that I condone committing suicide, but if you're going to commit suicide by jumping overboard a cruise ship-

A) Don't do it in broad daylight; and
B) Don't do it when a bunch of people are out and about. that brings your success rate to a whopping nothing.

So yeah, I let this douchebag annoy me with that comment and his action. If he doesn't want to be friends on facebook because I'm an evil liberal worse than Hitler, then fine no skin off my nose.

After a drill on my second ship. I believe with that one we had to g into the engine room.



Me and two of the other guys from Guam I used to work with on the teams..we caused some mischief.. Okay a lot.


The crew I worked with Christmas Day 2006. I'm the one in the Santa hat. They thought it would be funny to force the Jew to wear a Santa hat with a bell on it. Sadistic bastards.


One of the tenderboats on board. They licensed to coxswain (command) one those. Crazy fools.

Golfing at Dunes in Maui, which is a PGA event course. Yes I did smuggle a case of beer in, btween two backpacks, and yes I did get drunk. and Yes we did play drunken golfcart polo.

The first ship I sailed on- The M/V Pride of America docked in Maui.

This is what happened when we would get drunk in Kauaii during our overnighter- Time for Okies- which sadly is no more.

Drunk in Maui? Denny's. I was extremely drunk in that pic, and needed two red bull and a Heineken to shut my liver up.

One side of the hall where I spent most of my days aboard working.

Drunk in Kaui, at the Tavern which was Hotel Kibuyama which was used as the outside for the John wayne film Donavan's reef.

Drunk and being a jackass with my boss at the time.

This shot was of our meat hold(frozen beef, pork, veal and lamb) taken three days in 80% of this would be gone by the time the week ended.

Drunk again and smoking like a chimney. I have reduced my intake in the several years after this photo was taken.
