As the days linger on and the waves crash against the ship people are beginning to become uneasy of the situation. My two deckhands that I work with are anything but happy right now and it is starting to rub off on my vibe. I always try to be positive and happy but since they have been hellbent on complaining it has been difficult to talk much about anything else but life on the ship. Sorta like when I worked in the bar all people could talk about was the bar. I am coming to the understanding that humans have a tendency to engulf themselves in the thing they usually hate the most and that is work. The live, eat and breath work. Their friends are from work because they have no other social networks other than work. I know this because I have lived this. On a ship that network is non existent. You have no friends besides the people you live with. You can go into land but only for a couple of hours and if you have any money you usually spend it on Internet and trying to get a hold of loved ones. I feel happy to be in the situation I am in but I need to sometimes breath and let this really fall into place. I need to write more which I have been doing and I need to try to figure out some steps for further achieving my mission.
As it stands right now I am going to be entering Dakar, Senegal very soon. I say very soon because that could be in a couple of weeks or a couple of months due the progress with the ship. I feel like I need to be in Senegal right now. Although some days my mind wonders to thoughts of Faith and life with her. Times right now are very scattered brained and I believe it has to do with living on a boat. I am putting together my bicycle to ride on the Island more and hopefully that during the day time will prove to be a release of sorts.
I apologize for not updating but I have been working on other writings and as that gets more serious I will be making these blogs shorter for the moment. I am working on some short stories and also working to get through with some timely articles about travels before.
Oh on another note my Birthday is in 19days and that should be an Epic time due to the Arrival of Faith in Madeira! I cant tell you how excited I am to see her and it really makes life alot easier to rock out with her in person!

A Full Moon and a Fresh Outlook

As the moon linger in the distance of the ship it gives me a sense of power. Knowing I can accomplish anything and go anywhere. For the last week my thoughts have been sour and I just now had to take myself out of my way of thinking and plug myself back into positive. I think alot of the reasons why this trip got rocky was because of manifestation. I think in the beginning of this trip the goal was to party and to rock out and that manifested itself with the Running with the Bulls Festival. As we got further into the manifestation of thinking Africa right now was wrong become a highlight and that caused a rift in my thoughts and it might have lead to why JP left the trip. I think I manifested negativity at times that wasn’t necessary. I think that by understanding why things have happened based upon the thoughts that were present at that time I start to realize why things have happened more. I think if I was in Jps shoes I would have left me to. I think I got into a mental output slump, I needed to focus more on the wonderful things. I have done that but sometimes your mind drifts and sometimes being on the road it takes you back. I even believe this getting jumped, I had manifested something negative happening to me and had thoughts of rather stupid situations, hence me getting jumped. I also am starting to realize why I have been meeting certain people in my life right now. I have thought them into my life. For instance the guy I met who bicycled from Capetown to Lisbon and just so happens to drink with me all night. That was a complete manifestation. Dean! I need to know that everything I put into the universe comes back ten fold and I need to plug my positive energy. I need to feel the trip and I do tonight than ever before, I feel my writing more than ever before. I feel my goals are attainable and easier than ever. I am awake and I feel one. I feel one with my thoughts about Faith and I feel one with and I my trajectory. The moon is doing crazy things tonight cant tell you how special tonight feels.
