   Time waits for no man!
Well I haven't been on since I think Thursday or was it Wednesday any way I've been pretty busy lately and really haven't had a chance to go on an update. Well here's what I've been up to....
Thursday: I went to the Pacific marine expo to work with a company I met at that same expo three years ago because they hired me to work for them for three days. The first day wasn't bad I just spent most of my time walking around telling people about our product which just happens to be a long line and grabbed bight which consists of squid from the East Coast and Argentina and hearing from the East Coast as well as sardines from Oregon and we also had on display some of the Bering sea true COD which are caught using our bait. It is all frozen solid and sits on a table and people come by and check it out and then at the end of day we give it away to those people who want to take it home and eat it because it's all food quality. I personally took home 60lbs. of herring and mackerel and another 15lbs. of squid and I carried all of this in a box in in a backpack all the way home on a bus which wasn't exactly that these easy. Friday: I did more of the same of sitting in front of the boutiques planning to people the pros and cons of our product where we get it the prices and so on and also walked before some more and picked up a bunch of pool free stuff at the different booths which consisted of everything from a waterproof fanny pack two pats of no paper and ballpoint pens and baseball caps and a myriad of other things. After I got off of work at 5:00 I headed down the street to my favorite sporting goods store which my friend works at and he gave me a ride home and then we went down to our local fishing spot and tried to catch a few squid and turns out we had just missed a decent run which means the season is starting to kick up finely. Saturday: it was the last day of the expo on Saturday so I only worked from 10:00 to 3:00 and on all the other days I work from 10:00 to 5:00. I continued soliciting our product and telling more people about it and the other guys in our group handled the marketing. after the expo ended at 3:00 we packed everything up and the boss of international marine industries (the company I worked for) paid me which he was posted to me in cash but the company didn't have the budget so instead he just paid me by buying me a new fishing real and told me to e-mail him the details of what kind of rod I wanted and he would ship it to me from Rhode island which is where the company is based. Most likely I will order something specific to his area that I can't get around my area. I wish they would have paid me in cash because I was counting on a cash checks for the upcoming anime convention ,at least I'm still getting something out of the deal. on my way home I had to sit and wait for a bus for almost two hours and I'll occupied by self by shooting the ball with a couple of bombs that were hanging out near the bus stop and in turn may showed me how to play a game of Ratgolf which you play using a golf club and a broom and you run around smacking one of the thousands of rats that run around downtown Seattle after dark and tried to hit them or shoot them into their whole with one stroke and you get an extra points if you kill one. I know you all must be thinking I'm crazy now but it was really quite fun and it passed that I'm quite quickly and who knows maybe I will return and play with Willie and the guys again (Willie was the name of the main guy in the group) finally I headed over to the bus stop to find out that the bus I had been waiting for doesn't run on Saturdays so I had to call my mom on my cell phone and have her come and pick me up. After I got home since it was my dad's birthday and he turned 57 we took him out to see a animated movie which has become a tradition which started with Toy Store 1 and the movie of choice this time was Flushed Away which I highly recommend seeing if you like watching gut busting animated movies.
Well all try to get around and visit everyone this week but I can't promise anything because I don't know my schedule this week.
Sincerely your bomb under a bridge,~wonderkid~ P.S I hope everyone likes the my new theme song by Eiffel 65 because it's the only song I still like from the boyban era.
