Did you know you can still travel across the ocean as a passenger on a boat?

Information

I have booked passage in a spare berth on a German freighter leaving from a port in Long Beach headed to Sydney, Australia. It'll be twenty-one days at sea with nothing to do but write the book I've been saying I'm going to write for the last three years. As a kid I read way too many Jack London and Herman Melville books so this is the sort of thing that appeals to my sense of adventure and turns on my creative flow.

The ship embarks on 16 February 2012. Needless to say I am pretty amped.

how much did you pay?

in sodomy...

the crew is filipino not german so it won't be quite as painful

sorry jayflip

21 days to write a book??

That's a hell of a deadline

The core of it is written already. This will be about arranging it and adding in what needs to be added. Still plenty to do but at this point it's more about getting three weeks of uninhibited creative process to pound out the rest (everything I've written thus far has been during a journey of some sort, I enter some weird state of writer's block when I'm at home or consumed with my job.)

Holy crap at the bottom it says beware of pirates!

Became a VERY interesting trip.

modern piracy is generally concentrated on several areas of the african coast, the malacca strait in malaysia, several areas in indonesia, and some southeast asian coastlines. the only landfall will be in new zealand - not much to speak of there.

if i want something extraordinary i'm going to have to hope a bigass kracken tries to sink the ship.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
