I worked on a barge, processing ship, and catcher processor. I had a lot of fun and saw many places while working in Alaska, but I want to be a fisherman. I was offered a job to work on a salmon fishing boat in The Prince William Sound, but it didn’t quite go through. But I haven’t lost hope yet, I have a book with many addresses and phone numbers to many fishing company’s and captains that operate in Alaska.

How I did it: I pretty much told how I did it in my entry. But as time went on, I have learned different things. I finally realized, that no matter what I cannot stand down in the midst of this world that lies beyond the sight of my life! I love meeting people when I'm on the road, but I stay away from making too many friends when I'm in one place. This depends on where I'm at. If I'm in a place like Moab, I want to make friends with ev… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to a massage therapist. It was my first massage in the 26 years of me being alive. And I'll tell you, in the end, I felt even more alive. I don't know what kind of massage I got, but it was a full body kinda erotic massage. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I've worked up here since I was 18. I'm 26 now, and I decided that I should make moving to Alaska a reality. I worked with a guy on the boat that was from Anchorage. He said that if I wanted to move to Alaska I could live with him. When I was back home in California I got on the internet and bought a plane ticket. I arrived here on November 19th, 2008. So, ever since then I've been living here in Anchorage. I do … Read how I did it…

While visiting family in Alaska, I found out I’m realated to Joe Remington (the guy who started the Iditarod) he is my third cousin. Because of this I think it would be quite an experience to watch the event. Also it’s a family business, so I’m related to alot of people that are involed in the race.
I’ve been depressed my whole life, and have tried to kill myself since I was 9 years old. I’m now 24 years old and the last time I tried something was four days before my 21st birthday. After going to the hospital, I was taken to Yuba-Sutter Mental health for a week or two. It marked the second time I’d been there. When I got home I decided I no longer wanted to hurt myself, and I didn’t want to live with the pain from depression anymore. So I wrote a poem that I dedicated to everybody whose ever had sucidal tendencies. I named it “Why Say Goodbye And Be Set Free To Fly?” Now whenever I think of doing something to myself, I just read the poem, and and the thoughts of depression go away immediately. Since writing my poem I have only had two episodes. Other then that I now live my life extremely happy, depression free. (I’m sorry I will not put my poem up on the internet, do too fear of getting it stolen) But I plan on getting it published soon, so it will help you also.
