My Time with the Steve Zissou Foundation

Due to events which i will soon describe, this post will not be neat or elegant, but short and to the point giving only a bit of an update....
Well, it certainly has been a surreal...surreal, but nice, few days... I am now certified as a SSI Scuba Diver...woot!!! I past the test!!! it was four days of "studying" which really meant watching about 3 hours of videos, listening to 2 hours of talking, and about 1 hour of filling in worksheets... the rest was just diving to my hearts content... i got down to 20 meters, or about 62-64 feet underwater... it was like a whole other universe down there... the best part is getting to the point where you forget that you are SCUBA diving and are just "there" as a member of that world.... so cool, so many fish... freaking great... yah, so i have spent the past week on tropical island paradise, diving and carousing with my classmates... yet i by it at a great cost.... apparently dry bags in Thailand are actually just hunks of crap... so yah, my iphone got totally wet, and now doesn't work worth shit, as in wont turn on... apparently it is not to bad of a fix, and i can get it fixed in the states for like bucks at a place in SF... or i am also sure that i could get it done here in Bangkok, but i kinda don't feel like handing it over to some dude in Bangkok, so yah, i am going to wait until i get back, it is only a week away... but that means that i now have to pay for Internet and blog writing time... so yah, you wont get much anymore, but i will tell u all about Bangkok and such when i get back... i am pretty sure you will all be OK without reading about every little thing that i do here.... this whole blog thing is a little creepy anyways... very self importizing (i don't think that that is even a word)... but meh...

i am leaving the south and heading back up the coast toward Bangkok where i fly out in a week... i can believe that i have been gone for 2 months already and that i will soon be back to life as i used to know it... sad to leave, but i am getting to the point where i am starting to miss the little things about my California life and not just the most important things... like my doggy... and then the rest of my family and friends... but i really miss my dog!
See everyone back on the West Coast soon, and to everyone else reading this beasty, i will be back in normal contacting patterns again in like a week... so if you can't hold on... hold on!
