Well I just finished my 3rd full ship contract....leaving the band I was assigned to was pretty emotional actually because it was all of our best contracts. On top of that the way the guests throughout the contract commented us through surveys and physical interaction...this won't be the last contract with this line up of musicians and also being rated #1 in the entire fleet says a lot too.


So whats the plan now? No More contracts...NO don't get me wrong I'm not done with ships I'm done with these long ass contracts.

I did one 7 month contract and I was beyond burnt out...I didn't touch my drums for over a month when I got home and the company is NOW trying to push 7 and 8 month contracts...like WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK...I'll explain why later why thats too much because most of you guys are probably thinking "But you don't have to pay room and board, and you see the world and all you do is play music every day"

This job is a VERY mentally demanding job...but again like I said, I'll explain in another journal.

So WITH THAT SAID, I'll be ON CALL to fill in for drummers who get sick, need to go shoreside or get fired. So that means I'll get flown out to a specific ship for either ONE cruise (Ranging between 3 days to 8 days) or for a max of a month.

I just wanna get my presence known back here in town since I'm home and catch up with other musicians.

It's funny you're appreciated more when you're gone and you reappear because the same people who overlook me are now noticing me...it's weird...lol

Any who I gotta unpack...Ciao for now!
