Update
Over a year ago I joined the US Coast Guard. Went to boot camp in New Jersey and graduated in xray 177. From there I was stationed in San Juan Puerto Rico on CGC Matinicus. That is a 110 foot patrol boat thats mission is law enforcement, migrant interdiction, along with search and rescue. There are many things I have learned working on this boat, my job consited of being a rescue swimmer, small boat crewmember, Junior officer of the Deck, and currently breaking in as a Bording Team Member.
Now that I have been down in PR for over a year I feel as if its time to move on. I have put in for Operation Specialist "A" school in Petalima CA. As of right now I am hopeing to be going in OCT to start school and is 18 weeks long. After graduation I am hoping stationed on eather CGC Hamilton or CGC Chase. Both of those cutters are 378 feet long and patrol for 2-3 months at a time. The reason why i am chosing such a big cutter is because I want to be stationed out of San Diego, and both cutters routinely patrols both the Eastern Pacific Ocean, interdicting narco-terrorists, and the Bering Sea/Gulf of Alaska, enforcing federal fisheries law and conducting search and rescue operations.
So for all you San Diego friends, I am going to be moving back in Febuary! I am planning on getting a place in Hillcrest and cant wait to see you all! Well thats all I am going to write today... More to come!!!

NEW LIFE
Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of fear. It’s about getting up one more time than we fall down.

The Start of a New...

Memorial Day Weekend
The next few weeks that lay ahead of me are not ones of happiness. People say that graduating from high school should be a fun experience. There is not joy in it for me. Over the next week I have to say goodbye to all my high school friends. Most of them I will never see or lose contact with. Pack all of my stuff and get ready to move to a place I hate for a summer. Graduation night is going to suck for me because I have to hop on a plane that night and fly to Reno. (No celebrating for me)
This summer my plans are simple. I am going to move to norcal and work my ass off. Since there is nothing worthwhile for me to spend my money on up there I will be able to make bank. I am going to be employed by CAL FIRE working in Trinity County. I am not really looking forward to moving to NORCAL because living there in the past was horrible.
As for relationships I am planning on putting them on hold. There really is no reason to set myself up for a nether letdown. I am thinking about getting a cute dog or something.
As for the section in my life, after summer. I am planning on moving back to SD.
As for the summer plans I am still not 100% shore… So it might change…
Complex problems defy simple solutions. One cannot end poverty by giving every poor person money, nor is the world cleaned up if everyone rode their bikes to work instead of driving. We need to commit to a total solution for our perceived problems. We need also remember that most solutions hurt people too. What or who we hurt and who or what we fix is always the tough part of the equation.

Update on Life
Well then I moved back to Hemet :(. If was great to see my friends; Ju Ju, Ethan, Ryan, and everyone else that I love the same. School started and I had some things I had to work through, but I ended up on top. I am currently involved in a top secret program that has consumed my life. I do not even have time to swim this year because of it. I am also currently a floor model for Hollister and CO. I love that job more then I have ever loved my job. I can do what I want, look great, get a huge discount and get paid for it.
I am sure there is a plethora of things thing that I missed but that leads you up to this last week. Over this last week I have met this amazing person. I do not want to say too much because that was how I fucked up my last relationship by moving too fast to quickly. I am planning on taking my sweet time with this one, but truly I have never felt this way before. There are many complications also affiliated with luggage, but with my new outlook on no more drama I am not really worrying about it. I know that I am not going to let anything happen to me or this person though.
Future plans are changing though. I am expanding my vision after high school and things might change.
There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, just results.

What do I really want in Life?
It has been one week since I have moved back to Southern California, and instead of my life just falling into place it has become more clouted. I have a notion of what I want in life, but it’s the problem of finding that significant other. I want to fined someone who is the same place as me in life, I want someone who is cute, adorable, and someone that is outgoing as me. I want someone that I can just be myself and not have to worry about anything ells. Is that person out there? I don’t know but I have decided that I am sick of trying to please everyone around me because the outcome of that is DRAMA… I am sorry to everyone that I have pissed off this last week due to my drama.. The other problem I am having is not giving my full heart. I guess in a way I just don’t want to be hurt anymore, in every relationship since my longest on I have always had one foot on the floor… I just want to be able to fined that person that just doesn’t fit. But is the one…
Is this Wishful thinking!!!
