Bringin home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me!

I got stung by a motha fuckin bee today. It was practically on my pinky, and it sucked BALLS. I was just standing there all innocently at the park, waiting to do my first couple of scuba dives, MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS... and some bee comes all up on me and lands on my hand. I didn't know what it was so I flung my hand around as one would when a bug is nearby, and it STUNG me. The only consolation prize is that the little bastard died. Now my pinky is sore as hell and my knuckles are swollen. I had to stand there for like a whole minute with the little stinger in my finger while I waited for my professor to get his knife to remove said poison injector. I hate looking at my hand when it looks this gross. Its so unnatural. Last time I got stung by a bee it was way back when in CA when I was at the police academy pool and a carpenter bee stung my ass. Not fun.

**Catching up from last night here**

Last night I went out with a buddy and we saw Scream 4. Honestly I was expecting it to be okay, but what I saw on the screen was pure gold. That movie was HILARIOUS! Go out and see it. Totally worth it. Its a longish movie too. It could have been directed by M. Night Shamallama (or whatever his name is). But it was totally AWESOME!

**Today again**

So when we finally got into the water for our scuba dive, my buddy and I were the second group to go down. So I followed the stairs straight down like I was supposed to and totally missed the first platform. How do you miss a giant ass platform you ask? Because it was murky as fuck and I could barely see my hand in front of my face. So I found the second platform and it was apparently 45 ft deep. That was also 25ft deeper than my dive was supposed to be. I was all alone for about 5 minutes just sitting there waiting for someone to show up. I finally made the decision to head back up in hopes that I would find the fucking platform or I would find the surface. Either way... I was on my way up. I found the platform and just kind of wedged myself inbetween a couple and nobody noticed I was missing. FOR FIVE MINUTES. I didn't miss any of my skillz that I was supposed to perform, but I sure didn't have enough weight cause when I was trying to do my first skill I was removing my mask and I started floating away. I didn't have any problems when I was deeper... but when I was at 20ft I just kept floating away. My teach had to keep a hold on my belt so I wouldnt float away! How totally awkward. When we finally all surfaced they were like "where da fuck were you?!" I was at a platform... just the wrong one. I am totally a ninja scuba diver now. Certify that!

We did some other dives and when I was going down to "rescue" someone I forgot to deflate my BC and I was literally flopping around on the surface with my legs in the air TRYING so desperately to go underwater. That was so redonkulous that I can't even describe the WTF that was across my face when I realize "oh, too much air you dumbass" after that I deflated and was good to go.

While we were doing our booklets my prof kinda got annoyed and told me "YOU SCREWED IT ALL UP!!" Because I went wayy to deep and I had to have special depth stuff in my booklet. It was pretty much awesome though. I'm pretty much awesome. I was gonna go to Carlos n Charlies afterwards with everybody but my wifey called me and I went and had some pizza with her and spent some time chattin and catching up, and now here I am banging out this blog.

Three pounds and Im down into the 230's. Officially thats only 20 pounds off my diet, but more realistically its actually 30 lbs for the year. I hope none of you can do math! hahaha.

**Side note** for those of you who want to know, even though its easter weekend, saturday night we are gonna go out and celebrate jesus by getting totally wasted. I've done too many traditional easters for my taste. Its time to play it college style. TEAR IT UP!
