You know whenever I am feeling a little low or bored, I always have this flighty feeling of leaving my job and apply to go back offshore to work again. I miss the simple life I use to have. Work, eat, sleep, gym and watch sunsets. No distractions and nothing to worry about. My biggest problems would be how to please my boss, ensure that I don't blow up the rig and get along with my toilet-hogging roommate.
For every one day that we stay alive to see the next day, we count our blessings. After dinner, we would lie down by the helideck, chat and watch the sun set.
We would do stupid things like breaking each others minesweeper records (for the record, mine best timing was a jawdropping 4 secs) or race on the threadmill to see who can last longer or spend hours breaking the wireless internet password. I miss James big brotherliness, JS's bitchiness, Leon's bochupness... We have all gone our separate ways since 3 years ago, reunited for a bit and separated again... such as is life... *sigh*
Here's something for the night!
" I must learn to love the fool in me
the one who feels too much
takes too many chances
wins sometimes and loses often
lacks self control
loves and hates
hurts and gets hurt
promises and break promises
laughs and cries
It alone protects me against that
uttery self controlled, masterful
tyrant whom I also harbor
and who would rob me of
human aliveness, humility, and
dignity but for my fool"
-Theodore I. Rubin
