In a bit of a daze and could'nt think of a good title to call this blog so I just wrote down the name of the song I cant stop listening too by Muse....great song!
The samurai sword fighting skills are improving a lot. I look forward to the faceoff when Devann gets back. Especially with this move:
It feels like I have been in the States for at least 1 month but it has only been 2 weeks so far.... Things are going great and the boat is well on its way to getting back in the water on time which is great because we then have a couple of days in Charleston at the Aquarium taking people out on the boat and raising money / awareness of biodiesel. We get to visit the aquarium for free and go to the local Imax which is showing a movie about New Orleans so am looking forward to that....
The other night, Jessie, a local boatbuilder had us over for oysters and beers (good mix) and we stood around the fire in his back yard...
And then last night Phil, Ryan and I went to his house again and he cooked us crab legs and corn.....delicious!
Guy, a local boatbuilder also, brought his guns to work yesturday :) I liked haha. I still find it quite weird to know that almost everyone in this state has guns, and big ones at that! Some time in the next few days we are going to have some target practice.
8 days ago we all had Saturday morning off and played bullrush..... I was being pretty carefull as there is no way I wanted to break my thumb again.... but, instead of hurting my thumb I ended up getting smacked in the jaw pretty hard. I was in quite a bit of pain for around 5 minutes and then the natural morphene the body produce's kicked in haha. A week later now, and I can hardly move my jaw without intense pain shooting from my left ear, all the way around my head and back to my left ear.... so, in a nutshell, it feels like my head is stuck in a vice constantly and it is a pain in the neck to eat haha! I look on the brightside tho because when you feel pain, it makes you feel human, plus it should get better soon.... it has to.
We had a fundraiser the other night and played Ryans documentary in front of around 70 people. The night was really fun and we all met, yet more amazing people. This world is full of em and its inspiring when you actually get to meet them! The doco had a great reception but I found it so funny that a lot of American's cant understand kiwi accents hahaha! I could hear people behind me saying "what is he saying".... And if you look on one of the blogs on the earthrace site there is some pretty funny footage of this lady giving an interview to Pete and continually asking him to "slow" his accent down.
Watched my first Superbowl last night! I have only ever seen little bits of American Football in movies and occasionally the odd clip on the internet of a player either scoring an amazing touchdown or breaking his leg or neck... So I found it a very interesting game to watch, tactically speaking. When you dont know the rules it looks like they are idiots and most of the game you would spend telling them to pass the ball like a rugby ball and also thinking that, if the allblacks played American Football they would kick a@%! But, I had the rules explained to me last night and now realise how the game is played.... and i love it! Still not too sure why they wear such tight pants tho.

On a bit of a down note..... My stills camera decided to stop working a couple of days ago.....So i may not be posting any artistic photos anymore.....It still works on auto tho....just..... I really do feel like I have lost an arm or something!
