Hahahaha.....
I broke up with Erin. She cheated on me with her ex. OMG. The irony. Anyway, she wants to still be friends. I say fuck that, I got plenty already. I'll find myself a prettier girl and hook up with her. I'm not an emotional wreck or anything, far from it actually. I've been working out a lot and keeping myself busy with various things. I actually find it amazing how little it bothers me that we broke up. To be fair, we only dated for 3 weeks. But the main thing is, I'm fine and in a better mood than I've been in for a long time.
What else?.... hmmm.... let me think...
Oh yeah!
We played a prank on our band leader yesterday. We were playing Mark Donoghue's show and he just happened to own a fart machine and we decided to place it underneath the band leader's chair. The look on his face when the farts started was priceless. It's the simple things that are the funniest, right?
The night before we played a show with a comedian called Scott Record. He's one of the funniest people I've ever seen or heard. He'll be on the David Letterman show pretty soon. Keep an eye out.
Well that's it for now.
Over and out,
Ellert.

Alright... sorry about the delay!
Soooo... We visited 2 new ports this cruise. Yalta and Odessa in the Ukraine. To be completely honest, both ports are extremely boring. The temperature is getting gradually lower around these parts of the world. The Caribbean is still a month and a half away. I'm starting to feel like I'm back home because yesterday the temperature was 11° celcius. That's cooold, all things considered.
Erin and I are still dating and it's all creamy crusty goodness (copyright Roland Hartwell).
I went out in Istanbul again, but for the first time not on a saturday. It was weird and there were a couple of guys that tried to convince us that we shouldn't go to the main shopping street because of a bomb threat. But basically they were full of shit. They said: "Come to china town with us" yeeeeeaaaaahhh.... riiiiiiiiight. As if there just happens to be a "china town" right down the street from Taksim square. Sorry, not buying it. So, there was no bomb, no cops, bunch of people so we decided we made a good call by not joining those guys (which would have been the smart thing to do; bomb or no bomb.)
Earlier that day I had some Turkish apple tea. Mmmmmmm.... I loooooove it. It's so tasty. We also had some Nargile (some call it Hooka, some call it Shisha). It's basically fruit tobacco smoked through a bong... I know what some of you are thinking, but it's perfectly legal and I would pass every single drug test after smoking that stuff.
Anyway... not much else to report on. I've stopped drinking every night after I got a girlfriend. I've become extremely boring and reclusive... hahahahahahaha.... as if that could happen. But I HAVE stopped drinking as much, but I still like to go down to the bar to get down and boogie.

Well well!!
Ok... you're patience shall be rewarded.
My girlfriend's name is Erin and she's an australian hairdresser. We couldn't go official yet cause she was kind of dating another guy on the ship, but I'm just so irresistable... hahaha. She's awesome and we really like each other.
Anyway... enough with the sappy romance.
I went partying with 2 guest entertainers in Mykonos, Greece yesterday. Mark Donoghue, Jamie Allen and Z.J., Jamie's girlfriend. I don't think I've had a better time since I got on this ship. Those guys really know how to party. When we came back to the ship we were joined by the 3rd entertainer, Michel Bell. He was a member of "The Fifth Dimension" they had hits such as "Aquarius" and "Let the sunshine in" both of which were used in a musical called "Hair". AND..... His son is an actor and he was on "The third Watch" where he played a cop call Ty Davis you can read more a bout that here. I'm going to put a link to my photo website today so it should be on the right side of the page later today.
Over and out, you slags!

Hurray!!!
So I finally got my computer. I haven't had time to post pictures because I had some trouble using my wireless connection, but fret not my friends. I will show all the funny, nasty, sexy, interesting, embarassing and humiliating pictures I've taken so far within a week from now... One more thing...
Keep going...
A little further down...
I'VE GOT A GIRLFRIEND... THAT'S RIGHT. Y'ALL THOUGHT I WAS A HOMO, DIDN'T YOU?
I won't reveal her name as of yet due to several reasons. The main reason is that she is a blow-up doll. KIDDING. But I won't tell you for now.

Ok fine!!!!
So I'll start posting more frequently... geezzz! I've been busy drinking.
I was in Santorini the other day. The whole orchestra decided to rent ATVs and drive around the island for fun... unfortunately my ATV just happened to be A LOT slower than the other ones. Soooo I got seperated from the other guys pretty much instantly, so I went wandering around on my own for a while and then I ran into 3 of the singers and a friend of theirs and I joined them and had a blast.
We have a new cruise director on board. We call him Mr. Personality because he doesn't have one. Everybody's had a run-in with him, besides the orchestra appearantly, so nobody seems to like him. I'm O.K. with him personally but if he managed to piss this many people of during his first cruise, maybe I should be wary of him. We were doing the Captain's gala toast last cruise and the captain's last name is Karamaounas (pronounced Kara ma oonas) and the new cruise director managed to mispronounce that name not once but twice. The first show went like this "Ladies and gentlemen. The captain and master of Galaxy: Captain Karama... Karamanananoos... I'm sorry this is the first time I've had to say it out loud"
Second show went something like this: "Ladies and gentlemen. The captain and master of Galaxy: Captain Karamous." Thankfully that's not gonna happen again because we also have a new captain on board. His name is Michail Margaritis.
The new production cast arrived yesterday... grrrrr... I'm gonna pick one of them to be my girlfriend tonight... If I should fail it will be beacause of her ignorance, not my lack of charisma. We also have a new tenor sax player on board, finally. The girl before him was starting to piss me off. He seems cool and I like his sound... so far.
I've been working out like a crazy person lately and it's starting to show. So be prepared to see some pics of me in a lot better shape in the next few weeks.
I'm going to buy a computer tomorrow, finally. So this is my last post from a public computer. I will set up a site for my photos and stuff like that within the next week or so. So to all you impatient bastards out there, stfu n00bs.
