So this is just a my life update on where I'm at right now mentally, physically, emotionally. I personally believe I need a change of scenery. I have thought of some options for myself, one of them by the end of the summer I will live at my dad's in Huntington Beach and go to a junior college out there. Also, plan to get a part time job while there hopefully. I have pretty much told everyone I possibly can about this but in case you still do not know, I did apply for a cruise line and I still hope to get that job but it could be up to 6 months until I hear from them. If I do get the job that would be life changing, I could be placed on any of their ships thousands of miles away from all of this. I have thought about interning at places, I just need to type up a legit resume, but it is also something I am not sure I want to pursue at least not at this time.
Technically, I guess you could say I am still unsure of what I want to do with my life. I do still plan on having my own venue, but I need a steady income job to save up so that I can quit working for the man and just run my venue, haha. I do not excel in any special skills and I am not talented at anything so it has been a struggle to find my niche. I might want to look into journalism, but possibly still be in the music business such as writing, reviewing, interviews,etc. Frankly, it gets very discouraging at times.
I recently lost a loved one this year so I am still dealing with those emotions from time to time. I also need to start taking better care of my body because that is draining me emotionally. I continue to dream constantly and I still wish that I did not dream at all it's also very draining and sometimes disturbing.
Just so this entry does not end on the downside, I have recently felt it necessary to say that I am blessed to know all of you. Throughout the years I have met some of the most amazing, diverse, inspiring, random, hilarious, caring, people and it is all mostly from going to shows and sharing common friends. I am thankful to know you and thank you for the memories thus far. Let's make s'more!

Ranting
Lately, there is more and more attention on young teenagers getting pregnant and it is truly irritating me. It started with Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiasco. After that it somehow made it okay to make a tv series out of the topic, Secret Life of an American Teenager. Now, MTV is going to have some documentary about the topic too.
It bothers me because I feel that all this is really doing is telling more and more kids it is okay to have sex at their age, just don't get pregnant. I am not saying it does not happen or that it should be ignored, but the networks are doing it for ratings and not to actually help them understand or learn anything. There are just certain ways you should go about situations and I do not like how this one is being handled. Increased pressure gets put on younger girls every day and that sickens me. I already feel like I need to have a "serious talk" with my little 13 year old sister, which ultimately blows my mind.
All this really comes down to is I hate the media and society.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
Part III.
I almost didn't do this, but I figured might as well since I already mentioned it in the previous post. I'll try and just account for major things happening.
I went with my dad, his girlfriend, and my sister(yes, i have a sister). The first day nothing really happened other than the cruise ship misplaced my dad's luggage but was found later that night. It's a good thing that happened cause it gave my dad a chance to talk to staff about setting something up to propose to his girlfriend, Vivian on board the ship.
The next day we were on one of the islands went to an aquarium, at first I wasn't really stoked on it. I thought that's nothing new, I could go to an aquarium back home. As we started walking through it, no two aquariums are the exact same and I enjoyed myself and bought my first souvenir for my cousin there! This night was THEE night. After I did multiple talks with the Assistant Cruise Director, Tim on the phone it was all set! This was a first for the cruise they were just as excited as we were.
The proposal went down like this. The theater on the ship was having a show about all the different Hawaiian dances on the islands. Near the end of the show they ask for volunteers, that's where we rigged it so they would pick my dad ask him who he came with and call Vivian up on stage. He sang part of a song to her that he always sings to her, then got down on one knee and popped the question. It was so awesome to see my dad so freakin' nervous haha. She said yes by the way :) After that the whole cruise either witnessed or heard about it and we were well known on the ship. This was all caught on video by the way. I also got pulled up on stage very awkward indeed.
Excursions we did was watching the sunrise (got up 3am their time) it was beautiful and well worth it. Okay wait, side track story! My sister, Alex and I were in this room all by ourselves looking at the sunrise so I started playing some Nick Swardson (stand up comedian). Needless to say, right when a bunch of people walked in his joke loudly said, "Suck this dick motherfucker!" I found it funny, my dad not so much.
Other excursions were kayaking, horrible experience, and snorkeling my favorite by far. We took a small tour on one of the islands and that was also a favorite cause it wasn't affected by tourists it was really all local oriented.
This cruise was amazing, I haven't felt that happy and myself in a really long time. I enjoyed the trivia games of Golden Girls, Friends, and SHOUT OUT THAT MOVIE which I'm really good at. I think I made passengers laugh along the way and that felt great. They had an intense dodgeball tournament and great entertainment every night. I loved this cruise so much I will be applying for it tomorrow wish me luck.
P.s. I just remembered, I sang "I Will Survive," on the stage in front of the whole pool deck. Also was hit on by a 14 or 15 year old aussie boy with emo hair, braces, and was into hip hop. FOOD WAS AMAZING.
Thanks for reading! <3
