So I was sitting in class today listening to some lecture about consumer goods and business goods, and what surprises me looking back at those two hours, is how little I remember what class was like. I remember alot of other stuff that happened, just nothing about class. I remember that I drank my full thermos of tea in approximately 30 mins, and I remember that I made a check list of things I need to take with me when I start my sail adventure (which will be included in this post) Yesterday in class instead of listening to something about the future value of a bond, I wrote a poem about my boat. I'm always thinking about what I should name my boat, I would love comments or suggestions. Anyway, I had an epiphany about myself as I was waiting at the bus stop. I realized that I am a dreamer. I have many dreams and aspirations, none of which seem realistic, but I don't let that hinder me. I do want to get myself a sail boat and take off, I do want to pursue a job in photography, I do want to find myself the sweetest, nicest, funniest, cutest, girl in the world. None of these seem like they will happen, but I know God has my future in his hands, and I trust him with that, so I will not concern myself about what the future brings; I will pursue my dreams wilh every waking breath knowing that its taken care of.
Anyway here is my checklist of things I need to bring on my boat: a boat, companions (either a wife, or broskis) Food (saltines and cheese), fishing rods, some type of weapon to defend against pirates, a digital rebel camera, a macbook, a salt water converter, a film camera, a dog with a sailing hat, lots of tea, some beer, some wine, a sailors pipe, deck shoes, one pair of short shorts, a few tanktops/shirts (I plan on staying near the equator) a pair of jeans and a jacket of some type, dreadlocks, and thats about it. If you guys have any other suggestions that would be great. remember, when you dream, dream big.

i like your expressive brush strokes :)
Matt,
now, i really hope you did not take my sailing book. And i hope you are not jealous I have an eighty year old friend with several years of sailing experience, who is going to tell me where all the hidden treasures of the world are. maybe I will let you in on some.
I want to add a few things to your list:
1. peanut butter-essential for all westerners
2. a journal- as you will be on quite an adventure entirely worthy of documentary
3. 2 hammocks-1 to hang on the boat at all times and 2 for traveling purposes as you will be visiting islands and what not with large tropical shady trees.
You inspire and encourage. You desire to follow in His will is so obvious and so challenging at the same time. I can't wait to see where He is going to lead you!
