what day is it, again?

ha. time stand still yets passes like a thief in the night. you greet guests on saturday and wonder why they're leaving so soon the following friday. it's quite amazing at the quazi-friendships you make on the ship with some people. i find myself looking for those that were on the first cruise...

speaking of which, tomorrow begins my third. i only have twenty. weird, huh? it is to me.

this damn boat is rocking side-to-side. not violently but as i type my body is like the v-8 guy. i swear. ha. it's funny. you should see us walking down route 66. how it is they decide who is drunk and those that are simply walking is beyond me.

i'm so pissed that i don't have a laptop to e-mail pictures. i've taken so many and been given others. i want everyone to see my 'office'. no matter where you are, mine is better. na-na, boo-boo!!!

conversations on the ship are so interesting. at times, it's like you're back in college. others high school. then sometimes it seems as if you're sitting at the family table. interesting.

i worked my ass off today... sold almost $500, which was the highest in our bar; eleven percent of total sales. go me.

normally we transfer bars every two weeks but i've been selected to remain in ocean drive by the pool to train the three 'newbies'. doing well, i am.

i may get off the ship in the morning to meet a friend-of-a-friend. not quite sure yet. the phone has bad reception out here where only whales mate. where is the 'can you hear me now' guy when one needs him? more about that only if you're privileged.

i moved rooms on saturday, which has made a tremendous difference. more, justin moved in last night. he's a super guy. one of the most intelligent i know. i believe you could ask him the history of sale city and he'd know... very intersting character. and quickly a great a friend.

seems tom has had some setbacks on getting the position with ncl but is fighting through it. when i talked to him it seemed he might give in but i don't think that is the case. apparently, working on a cruise ship is something he says he's always wanted to do...

thanks yonnathan for taking care of my fish!!! (this journal has taken the turn of more a newspaper for me than a journal, sometimes.) i hear - and trust - they're all still alive.

i read about newton, georgia the other day in the usa today. it's was quite weird. seems the husband of the woman who succeeded my aunt as mayor was killed by cops when he shot a gun into the air, then at them. typical baker county for you. that's all i'll say about that.

do you know how weird it is to hear jingle bells while watching people surf, sweating your balls off? (not necessarily together or in that order... haha.) yep. the christmas music started today. serving frozen drinks while it's above ninety and hearing about that fat ass in the red suit. what a life!

i hear that it's real cold in georgia, by the way. HA!

so, to all of you from just me... na-na, boo-boo!

aloha.
