last post... EVER!!!!!!

                It’s my last day in Mexico and I’m feeling kind of sad. At the same time I’m thinking F this place! I’m going home! I loved Mexico but after a while the hot humid air isn't fun… its just plain mean. Also the amount of bugs in Mexico is crazy! Who would have thought that that many bugs existed! It was fun for a while and I can’t say I’ll ever forget it, it was the biggest leap of faith of my life, and walking away from it almost sane is awesome!  I am so glad to finally be going home to where I live, I miss my friends! I miss being in a place long enough to become friends with shop owners and to know where I am in the city no matter what. As proof as to how ready I am I have been packed and ready to leave for a week before today and the past week has been nothing but agony for me. But now on an airplane writing of my last regards I really realize how little I wanted to stay, and how much I wanted to go back!

                Now I’m going to tell you what my final thought about this trip was, and it was that it sucked. There I said it! It sucked sooo much. just think about it, the only people I had to hang out with were a bunch of really idiotic 9-12 year olds with no clue how good they have it, being able to play all day on a beach with their friends! Or I could hang out with a bunch of alcoholics in denial. Both options were horrible so, I did a lot of alone time, I mean a lot! It was worse than solitary confinement, in the sense that I had this awesomely beautiful place that I was suffering in, that made it worse, also solitary confinement doesn't have savage beasts provoking you to the brink of your sanity while the urge to kill everything in sight grew larger and larger! So I picked up my spear gun and F’d up a lot of fish. It was ether fish or siblings so don’t judge me. But wait there’s more! I was confined to this boat for the while trip! If I wanted to run off and get away I could only walk up stairs and sit on the for deck which is about a maximum of 30 feet away from whatever I’m trying to get away from. The only thing keeping me from jumping ship literally was my mom. Thanks mom for all you did for me and I hope those stink pots will leave you alone so you can rest eventually.

                There it is my unfiltered opinion of this trip. All In all I hated it even though I had a lot of good times on it. My last words on this blog will be this. I am not going back on to that boat until im 21 and can drink with the other drunks that will be on that boat.

blog post...

sooooo.... I’m in one of the coolest places on earth in a beautiful resort with an all-inclusive pass for a day... and yet I feel frustrated, sad and depressed... I don’t even have a clue why. Maybe because I want to go back to Seattle, or maybe it’s because I’m sad to leave such an awesome place, maybe it’s the lack of social interaction, or maybe it’s because I’m having way to much social interaction. All I know is that I feel like crap and have no idea why. It’s so annoying!!!! I want to post pictures of where I’m at but at the same time pictures don’t do this place justice. I’ll try to get some good pictures and post them but I don’t feel like it... I just don’t feel like doing anything. It really feels like I’m depressed but I mentally im really happy... my subconscious is screwing me over right now. Any way. I’m signing off for now and ill try to post some pictures when i get them, peace and i love you all, bye

Still in Mazatlán and it looks like we are going to leave on Tuesday. I just got my Skype account working so I can call people in the U.S. now... I’m missing every one up there in Seattle and all my m=home town homies in Delaware... I hope to see all of you guys soon? But on the other hand I will never get tired of this awesome weather! I never want to leave this place but unfortunately I will, I wish I could bring all the people that I miss down here for a couple months. That would be so fun. I have been playing a new game called war frame on the computer and it is sooo addicting. I am going to play it as soon as I am down with my homework and this blog. I am also super excited to travel up into the sea of Cortez. For a week I’m going to eat nothing but what I can catch. I hope I’m lucky. Any way I have some pictures of me. I have a little beard now and I think I’m going to shave it today...

Love to all, and I send my prayers over to rebel heart

Max

 ps. the images will not post so ill try to get them up soon

Copper Canyon

We are in copper canyon, and I have this stupid head cold! I feel so stuffed up and that doesn’t help with breathing because the airs a lot thinner. And when I try to break through the sickness wall and be active my head starts to have this horrible head ace. It is really not fun but the scenery hear is amazing!!! It is so beautiful. I have never been to the Grand Canyon but I can tell this is better. It’s cool and green which makes everything look prehistoric. I have some new games on my computer; they are castle crashers, Warframe and terraria. So my night shifts from here on out are going to be a lot easier.

everything is awesome

So it finally happened. I did it. I caught a Dorado and I killed a parrot fish, the Dorado was a baby so we let it go but the parrot fish was KOS aka killed on sight, meaning I shot it in the top of the head where its brain was. It died a second later then released its bowels and poop went everywhere!!! It was the grossest filet job ever, also it had huge scales that where made out of titanium and had force field or something so for you to get an image, there was a seizing fish lying on a table covered in poop with a knife in its stomach that couldn’t get through the scales. With hard work we pulled it off and the fish was grilled that evening and was amazingly good. I ate it all, and I didn't die, or get sick, but I did have a little bit of the runs, but that could have been from anything. Any whooooooo! We are in Mazatlán and my grandmamma is here!!! And the weather is nice!!!!! and the place where she is staying is nice, which for vacations is good because normally when you go on a vacation from Seattle the weather tends to follow you. Alsooooooooo! I got a new mouse for my computer!!!!! And I am having a lot of fun!!!! And my excitement about all these things is unusually high… YAY!!!!!! Now that im done with my blog im going to go take a nap!!!!! And then go to the pool!!!!! And then we are going to go to a fiesta tonight!!!!!! And then we are going to come back to the boat and go to sleep!!!!! And I love you all!!!! And life is good!!!! And see you next time!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?... (twist ending!)

this is the make up blogg...

It’s been a long time. And a lot has happened. And yet every day feels like an hour in one of the longest days of the year, but for some odd reason I love it. days blend together, thoughts last for hours and I have day dreamed for days all of it building on the previous encounter, and the modern "day" which lasts 24 hours, to the cruiser a day depends on when you finish some projects or complete some tasks but when you have a long time spent on resting when you could be working. That is the end of the day. Sleep is no longer a want but a need. You must sleep because you need all the energy you can get for the light and dreadfully hot period that the average human would call day time.

Now I’m going to talk about fishing. My luck is turning around! I am finally fishing instead of wishing. I have caught some sail fish on a fishing ponga and a barracuda in the harbor. And as soon as we get into the sea of Cortez I will release the hounds and start trolling more than one line and I have been building up my lure collection to a good size. Now I just need to go to the fish and hunt them down. I am no longer going to consider myself a fisher. Now I am a hunter of the sea beasts, and I will show no mercy! But don’t worry, everything I kill I will eat I will be posting pictures of the fish as soon as I hunt them down and capture my victims, there fate will depend on how good they taste.

           I went up and visited Seattle a couple of cruiser days ago and it was the weirdest feeling I have ever had. I went up to Seattle and as soon as I woke up in the morning I felt like my whole trip to Mexico was just one huge dream. I could not believe for one second that I lived In Mexico and that I was just visiting Seattle. I had fun up there; I saw most of my friends and got to party for 2 days straight. w\then when I came back down to Mexico I had that feeling again that the trip to Seattle was just a dream and that the trip never really happened.

          My first hour back in Mexico and I was on the boat heading for la Cruz for a 24 hour passing. It was an instant and very hard readjustment.  But no I’m in my favorite place on earth! La Cruz!!!! Yyyaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!!

poetry for school.

 We live on the sea

Away from humanity

It’s peaceful here

Living without a care

But when the weather is rough

We let the sails luff

Because we know it’s nothing we can’t bare

And if it’s too much we will send out a flare,

Get in our life raft, there’s nothing to fear

Well wait, together for our rescuers to appear

Then well buy some tickets and get on a plane

Well go back to our friends in the city of rain

And we’ll make I say, but we might have to sell

Some valuable things, but we’ll have a story to tell

But most importantly, we’ll have each other

Marcus, my mom, my sister and my brother

Because things are just things, something we crave

But people are people, something we must save

Far, far away, my friends would say

Far, far away, even I would say

Far, far away, from anything familiar

Far, far away, I decay, a stray

Far, far away, I thrive, alive

Far, far away, I live and I learn

Far, far away, I stay, I stay

the ocean is a bully

I'm doing poetry for school this week... so i got it all over with and this is what happened

Tough weather ahead

Sea sickness keeps me in bed

At least I’m not dead

I throw out my lure

It looks so tantalizing

But the fish won’t bite

I live on a boat

With my two younger siblings

It sucks being me

I’m in Mexico

Away from all of my friends

For an entire year

Time sure does fly, when

There’s nothing to do all day.

I need internet

The sea bullies me

It took my cameral and

Won’t give me any fish

Siblings annoy you

No matter what they’re doing

And that is a fact

I’m not a fisherman

I am a fish murderer

No mercy for food

My favorite food

And favorite animal

I’m so conflicted
