Bad Day?

251

i don’t remember the last time i had such a bad day. maybe 15 years ago? well, it all started out early this morning when i went to my garage to hook my boat up for a dive.

luckily i’m such an organized person that i keep a spare of everything. so i grab the spare, change it, and was ready to go.

my grandpa osaki was a fisherman. he use to always tell me never go fishing with oily hands. why? because the fish don’t like the smell of oil. i did my best to wash it off. and it made me realize how much i hate dirty oily hands. and how much i hate flat tires.

we get down to the boat ramp. my sister, tony, kimura-san, atsuko-san were all down there. had a fun talk and took off.

things were looking bright. but my oily hands proved it right. when hayato and kyle were in the water, they saw big fish. but when it was my turn, all i saw were 6 hungry sharks going crazy around me. no big catch today and that’s the part about blue water diving. you either catch a fish that can feed a hundred people, or you don’t. today wasn’t our day. maybe next time? never give up!!!!
and to top it all off, i felt like i was dying when i got back home. from the cold water, from the cold wind, and from not enough water in my body. i still feel pretty junky. goodnight.
