Underway

I noticed on my blog that I haven’t said anything about how being underway will give a person a new lease on life. I say this because each time I go out to sea I find myself wanting different things for my life. Things that may have been left behind or taken for granted. One being the light from the Sun. It’s so warm and comforting. Another thing is spending every ounce of time I can with the person I love most in life, my wonderful wife of course. Now I go on walks with her whenever she asks and because being outside frees me from the walls that I get enclosed with.
I started writing while I was underway and now I don’t remember the direction I was going with this. For the most part I think people understand it. I have now been to Singapore, Korea, and Japan. In all of these places I felt something missing. At first I couldn’t figure out what it was then, I found that there was no wife with me to share the experience. I really didn’t see anything in Japan due to the fact that it came at the end of the underway so all I wanted to do was go home and see my most beautiful and pregnant wife. Korea is a pit of nothing with open sewers. Singapore was pretty cool. This was the place I spent the most money and found some good souvenirs.
For the most part, once I hit a port my first thing is to find a wireless connection somewhere, just so I can call my wife. Just being the way I am, I mostly get to be the Designated Un-Drunk in the group. When I get the chance I do get to cut loose and get drunk yet I still get to be the responsible one and try and get everyone back to the boat. WHY ALWAYS WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

Air into Gold(millions of cells competing to create life)

I don’t remember what book I got the concept out of but, I know it has to do with how so many millions of cells compete with each other just to create life. So many living cells just to make one life which in turn uses up millions of cells just to stay alive. So beautiful yet so horribly destructive and wasteful. The way humans live a cell probably lasts about 6 seconds before it dies and a new one is created to take its place. Just the act of renewing the body is a process that is beautiful. It’s amazing how human beings propagate and evolved into what we are. Where is the next evolutionary step? Is it you? Is it ME?!?!?! Who would put this whole beautiful cycle together. Just to transform Air into Gold… This wasn’t the original way I was going to take this topic but being underway has a way of skewing ways of thinking.
