There is no Steve like Skooba Steve

Current mood: thoughtful


So logging onto the mind control unit of myspace, I noticed someone had a blog named Scuba Steeeve. I would say I got a bit mad and sad all at the same time, because, as everyone from the 808 knows there is only one Scuba Steve. He is a rock star of the reef.

I can only say so much about this guy, (I wish I could say more and infact did, but of course my internet crashed and erased all the good stuff I had on here. So here I am trying to sum it up as much as I can. Steve "hey that is my new pic for my myspace", "motorboatin' son of a bitch", who doesn't even have a myspace. States he will get one once he knows how to spell computer. Oh Steve at least we will always have Dave & Buster's.

Current mood: angry


Right now I feel like I want to die. I don't care by what means I just want it all be over with. I know this comes across as sounding petty but I really F***ing hate my roommate right now. By a supposedly "miscommunication" no one even asked me about going camping tonight having fun on the beach. No instead they take off with out me once again. This hasn't been the first time since I wasn't hired by the park. I have been ostracized for well over a week now. I pretty much am a hobbit in my little hole in the wall room that I have (and I do mean little). Supposedly it isn't just me that is having a rough time. Hello, I am the one who is 26 just gave up 6 months of my life, to be rejected by the place that I would love to work, have everyone at the park that I hung out with leave (because the internship is over) or completely forget about me b/c I am not worthy anymore, not even receive a thank you of some kind for all the effort put in, being 26 and still not anywhere close to where I should be career wise, and be sitting all alone in this house b/c of "miscommunication". HAHA

I know this is coming out all bitchy and probably very in concise, but right now I have a bunch of pent up anger, rage, and sorrow that are busting the seams of me right now.

So, I sit here and just having the feeling of wanting to come home more than ever. I keep feeling like it isn't worth it for me to stay here get a small time job and try to reapply at the park in a couple of months. If I did reapply I could do it from Seattle. It isn't like I need to be here to send in a resume. It would mean me finding a new place to live, but whatever. WHY DOES LIFE SUCK SO MUCH??

Another phenomenal day in Hawaii

I had another outrageous day in Hawaii. It started with getting up well before the sun did, I felt like I was back in Seattle getting ready to go to work b/c of how early it was (5:30 am). After not being able to sleep well the night before, I just switched rooms, have a new bed, and have been lounging around for a few days reading in bed; it finally caught up with me. But back to the main point of this blog. So on the road at 6 am with one of my roomies (his last day at the house) we headed out to meet with another ex-intern. We pick her up in Pearl City and head out for Wai'anae (it is pretty much as far away as you can get from Hawai'i Kai and through rush hour traffic even). Shortly after 7:30 (oops we were suppose to be there at 7:30) we arrive at the boat dock with gear in hand to go diving!!! Again all I can say is it was amazing. Everything was picture perfect. The weather, outstanding, the sights great, snacks and beverages superb! The first dive was a 90 ft sunken Mine Layer called the Mahi. It was sunk in 1982 to be an artificial reef. I can say that it has succeeded. We saw so much coral. Also so an some beautiful fish, Eagle rays just hovering in the current, some Nudibranchs (I was soo excited on the inside), Urchins, and a well hidden frogfish. The visibility was excellent (compared to my good old puget sound). After surfacing we headed toward the second sight on the boat. Along the way we got a special treat by seeing Humpback whales spouting, fluke slapping, and we even got the amazing (sorry for the overuse of that word) privilege of getting to see one of the large beast breaching. We could see the complete chest and the entire pectoral fin clear the water before he/she came crashing down. WOW!!! The second dive to me seemed unneeded after such great things already, but life just got better at Papio Place. We could actually here the whales between breaths, again an huge range of fish. Puffers, triggerfish, surgeons, convict fish, trumpet fish, more nudies, urchins, and a grand palette of coral. Some got lucky enough to see a taco (octopus) unfortunately I missed that. I am so excited and ready for my next expedition (I can't believe I waited this long to go diving here, I hope to set up another trip shortly after I get a job and am making some money).

WHAT A TRIP

Okay so this will be hard for a lot of you to believe, and it is understandable. Yesterday I did something that I have wanted to do for a long time; I jumped out of a perfectly good plane. That is right folks, I went skydiving. It was an awesome rush. My tandem guide said it was the best thing you can do with clothes on, I think I agree. It was literally like I was jumping into an aerial view photo of O'ahu's north shore. There is no concept of how far you exactly are from the ground, 14,000 ft was jump point, and we free fell for a minute. How exhilarating was that. I will let you know it wasn't all fun and games, I have bruising in places that aren't so fun (much like when I slipped and fell on the gate at work)and my contacts blew out of my eyes. BUT it was all worth it and I suggest you too try it.

I will be updating my photos on yahoo sometime today and tomorrow, b/c I have over 90 photos to add from the last few days at the park and the last few days with the new great friends that I have made. I just want to let all of them know that they have made a huge impact in my life and I will never forget them!! *sniffle, sniffle*
