Pirates of the Caribbean....

I've got only one full day of my leave left..., after this one that is. Problem is, other than my trip away, I have gotten absolutely nothing accomplished. Not that that is a big thing..., I just kinda feel a bit lazy about the whole thing. I really should have done some more writing, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Oh yes, you remember that I said I was doing some writing..., well yeah, I am attempting to write a novel. I even publish it on wordpress. It is very much a work in progress, but it seems to be getting some good reviews...., so if you are interested, check it out, and if you like it then leave a comment....

"The Twins and the Sailor" By Octavius (Account is actually BigCT, but it is still me.)

Quite a few of you know already, so it will come to no surprise for you, but I figure I don't want to hide the fact anymore.

To be fair, I really don't want my leave to end..., but then I never do. I guess I wouldn't be alone in feeling this way..., huh? I left a comment on Torchy's blog the other day..., and said something like....

"Work is the one true obstacle to your real life."

How true is that..., man I wish I could just win the lottery..., as they say...

"You will never get ahead working to make someone else money."

It would be great to be my own boss, setting my own schedule..., paying myself what I deserve. I have many business plans that I could throw into action..., but the one I think I like the most, is my fishing tour idea. Now personally I can't stand seafood, though I do enjoy fishing (Weird huh?). You see we have here a very beautiful place called the Marlborough Sounds...


Pretty cool huh? So back to the point..., "Fishing Tours". Yup, I can just see myself doing this. Skipper of a nice boat..., sailing around the sounds, not a care in the world, just soaking up the sun. Something like this, would be ideal...


I figure, if you take groups of four to five, at about $150-$200 a head, that should cover fuel, bait, and food for about a four day trip. I don't really know..., would have to do some sums, but then it is all academic, unless I actually manage to pull it off. But it would be cool.

Hmmm..., a little too philosophical today. Maybe I'll just go and buy some booze to get totally plastered! After all there is nothing wrong with having a "Wine and Cheese" evening..., all by myself..., in my room..., is there? Well ok maybe not, but the idea is appealing...., maybe too appealing.

IDK..., seems there is just too much "Drama" around these days. Everyone seems to be falling over each other to be nice to certain people, when they really should just let them go..., if that is what they truely want...., which I actually don't think it is. Personally I think the biggest one at the moment, is just a want for attention..., but that's just me. Don't get me wrong..., i'm not bagging on anyone, I just can't be bothered with the whole thing.

Maybe you can never get away from "Drama", there always seems to be something happening somewhere, that pulls you into a shitstorm. IDK, why can't we all just relax, and chillout. Nothing in life is really that bad, that it can't be fixed..., well that's my theory anyway.

On another note, I have decided to do something. I have talked about it with my Stepmum, and she is all good with the idea, so I think I am going to do it. I have been thinking about doing something for my little brother. To be fair, I have been wracking my brain, for several years to come up with something good, and now I think I have it. I am going to get a Tattoo done on the underneath of my forearm. I am not quite sure yet, just what I am going to put there, but I know that it will happen..., I personally believe that that is the best place for it, and him..., so that he will always be under my arm..., know what I mean?

I'll take a pic, when it is done..., won't be for a while yet though, so don't get your hopes up. I am gonna tie it in with his birthday...., July 7th 1993. That just kinda makes sense to me..., in a fitting kind of way. You know if you do the math, that would make him about 16 and a half. Maybe that's why I seem to connect with the younger bloggers..., almost certainly, I think, why I enjoy chatting to them. Maybe I am still looking for something there..., I don't know...

Anyway that's it for today..., I'm getting a little weepy..., he is usually the only one that can do that to me...

9 Tactical Suggestions...:

:-) I dislike the drama too ... but isn't being a teenager all about drama? creating it when there is none? revelling in it once your creation has been made? and then complaining about it? I'm ready to go on a really long fishing trip with you, by the way ...

wozzel said...

life is nothing but drama these days ...but to know you going to weather the storm!
I mean you said it best "Nothing in life is really that bad, that it can't be fixed..., well that's my theory anyway."
Life goes on ... reguardless as it should other wise I know I be piss stopping all the time .

and to think I love seafood and fish, but hate to fish. I get bored lol ( lol and as they always told me stay still and be quite, so what gotta stay in the corner too now ... to fish. Don't get me started on hunting, what they try with hunting ... lol so backfired on them see I can stay still and move but to do both makes for a pissed off Lee... lol whose freezer has the meat bitches lol )
Any glad you shared your writing site damn well worth the read...
Anyway hoping to win the lottery

lol I hear your area has some really nice tea.....

Hey Octavius,

If you're serious about creating your own money through the Fishing Trip idea - I'd love to spend some time with you mapping out the steps you need to take.

I'm just across the pond here in Sydney :-)

Dean Grey said...

Octavius!

Don't beat yourself up for not doing anything on your days off. Sometimes you have to do absolutely nothing so that you'll be ready for work again.

The Fishing Tour sounds like a unique idea! I bet New Zealand looks stunning and would love to see it someday!

Getting the tattoo for your brother sounds really, really sweet. I can tell you think about him a lot.

And I'm wishing you have an easy transition back to work!

Awww Octavius, that's quite a nice idea. I get the "under your arm" wrapped 'round his shoulder sort of thing.

*hugs*
