A list of 20 things/sayings/stuff that have stuck with me since I started working on ships.

These are in no particular order

1. It's not realitiy... it's reality on speed!
2. Girls who are 9's on a ship usually wouldn't be higher than 6's on land.
3. "You don't gotta lie to have friends"
4. "You just gotta know the tunes"
5. It's not sexual harrassment if it's true e.g. "Your breasts are huge and I'd like to suck on them"
6. It's easy to make friends and it's easier to lose them
7. It's all about the stripes
8. Greeks are assholes... did you know that the Greeks invented sex? The Italians introduced it to women.
9. Bum, bum, bum! (This one needs audio... ask me later)
10. My Icelandic keeps getting worse and worse... I need more fellow Icelanders out here.
11. I have the best friends and family in the world... no contest... just ask anyone and they'll tell you.
12. 2 years ago, I had a job that I didn't like, and I did something about it. Look at me now
13. I'm going to Japan, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, The United Arab Emirates, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Jordan, Oman, India and more all in the next 3 months.
14. In the last year and a half I've been to the following countries: Germany, England, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Egypt, Ukraine, Spain, Morocco, Barbados, Bermuda, Tortola, Puerto Rico, Canada, U.S.A., Mexico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, St. Barths, Antigua, Grand Cayman, Grand Turk, St. Lucia, Aruba, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Bora Bora, Vanuatu, Kiribati and probably a few more...
15. I've gotten a 100% pay increase in 18 months... which is not bad.
16. I seem to be unable to get a girlfriend... for more than 3 weeks or so.
17. I'm a good sight-reader
18. I hardly ever practice... that's a really bad thing.
19. I get home sick after approx. 4 months.... guaranteed.
20. My next contract is 6 months.

See you on wednesday, March the 4th.

Ellert.
