Must be quick, the freakin crusie is charging me a fortune for the internet

So I am on the boat after a very stressful day. No joke, my job was to go to a hotel and like 200 people in groups of 10 so they could get on this bus and take them to pier.

Well I did that, I got them all in nice groups and after waiting for 1 hour and making several threaten long distance phone calls from my cell, I realized that the buses weren't coming. So we called like 40 cabs and got people moving... It would have been nice if there wasn't so many b%tchy people yelling at me...

Anyways we got on the boat, and the food is amazing!!! I haev already snuck into the night club and managed not to be carded. The cool part with that is that Robbie, Sean, Kev and several others did get carded, but the underaged guy(me) didn't!!!

Conference is busy to, me and kev ran the book store and probably sold 5000 grand worth of stuff in 3 hours. We also had to set up and clean up before and after so that kind of sucked, but hey I am on a cruise ship so who can complain.

One more thing quick as this has already cost me like $10 bucks. You guys are worth it. Tommorow I am going snorkling in Cozamel Mexico. It will be fun. I am bringing an underwater camera, so I will post pics after.

Peace out!!!!


I love cruises!!!!!

Suffering for the Gospel

Oh Father in Heaven, please help me get through this very difficult time doing your work. Give me the strength to get through all those buffet lines and Lord, I ask that you please protect my skin from sun burn....

So I probably made God real angry there but whatever, he loves it when I joke.

So I am in my hotel in Florida and it sweet. It is like 28 degrees here in the celcius and pretty sweet. I just ate like a huge basket of calamari it it only set me back 6 bucks!!! Blake, Sean, Kevin and my brother just got out of the hot tub and are laying down for some much deserved quiet before the storm...

Tommorrow will be nuts. I got to direct people to around this huge boat that I have never been on and look like I know what I am doing.

It will be fun and I will try to post about what is going on so you can keep in touch.

I love CRUISES!!!!!

Sad day for Canada

So I just check the web and like 3 minutes ago, Canada lost their Hockey game against the Russians. The score was 2-0. It is a sad day for all of Canada. Even though today we won 4 medals and 2 of them gold, this stain of losing at our sport just taints the whole day. I also checked the medal standing and we are ties for 3rd in medals with the USA!!! But still we lost at hockey so the olympics was a failure.

I will now not bore you will all of my hockey insight and complaints that I have not only with the coaching staff, but with the Gambling Executive Director Mr. G. We should have won, but I believe that there were some key players left off the roster, like Spezza and Staal. These players are like leading the league with points this year and still they don;t get a shot. Instead Kris Draper who hasn't had a good season in like 10 years gets to play.

This sucks. I still love CANADA my home and native land( did I mention that I am part native), and will always cheer when a Canadian wins a medal. I actually had a little cry when the skeleton guys got their medals. It was awesome.

Anways yah for Canada, boooooooo for Russia even though they won.

At least we still have a shot at Curling...

Life's Questions

So the other week I was downtown with Jacob and as we were walking we saw a sign on a restraunt advertising a free 2L Pepsi with any takeout order. Now before I go on, let me just say that I have never been inside this restaurant, nor will I never go in one. This is just merely one of those weird thoughts that you get.

They establishment in question was Hooters. Now I know what your thinking, take out food at hooters? What up with that. When I saw this sign I had two thoughts.

1) The kind of person who would go to hooters for a meal is probably the kind of person who doesn't go there for the food if you know what I mean. They probably go there for the waitresses.

2) The second thought I had was what kind of food would a person order at Hooters that it would be so good that they would want it at home?

I mean I think they are famous for chicken wings or beer or something. So if you want chicken wings there are many other places that have better chicken wings and also deliver, and if you want beer then just go to the beer store...

This puzzled me as a restaraunt that is famous for something other than food, suddenly starts to deliver, then what is our worlds food standards coming to.

I mean it is all well in good to pick up a Big Mac or a Wendy's burger on your way home from work, but if you are going to go through the trouble of ordering food and probably forking out $20-30 bucks, you probably could find better tasting food then from Hooters...

Anyways, let me know what you all think... I found this very weird...

One Week To GO...

So it is that time again and I am getting really excited. You may think, what could Jon be talking about? Could it be that Jon bought another guitar? Could it be that I wrote a new song... Well no... Actually there is one week to go before I head on the CRUISE!!!!! I love the boat... I love to just chill in the hot sun and check out the white sandy beaches of Jamaica, Mexico, Cayman Islands and Bahamas!!!!

It is going to be fun!!! I love it as each year, or shall I say for that last two years I have really enjoyed it. I mean I got to get some perks for being a PK(Andrew and Jake this reference is not what you think).

Anyways I know you will all miss me and your lives will really seem empty without me, so I will make sure to update my blog as much as possible.

If you want any presents, tell me know and give me $$$ and I will hook you up.
