This Blog Has Moved!!!

Because my brother is awesome, I have been set up with a blog on my
own domain. Please visit www.unusualperspective.com for all the
latest.

Where in the world is Jonny San Diego?

So the plane tickets are bought, and the leave request chit (military
thing) is being routed. I am traveling a lot in the future... First,
my trip back to CT on or around 03Aug. Next, California for Trevor
and Sarah's wedding. I will be flying into and out of San Diego on
29Aug and 05Sep. This trip will include LA on 01Sep for the wedding,
San Jose and San Francisco 02-04Sep and back to San Diego to fly back.
Next on the agenda... A bachelor party at Octoberfest. But since I
was going to Germany anyway, I decided to go a week early to backpack
in Spain and Switzerland... So that trip is 20Sep-2Oct. Finally, I
need to move back to San Diego, so I will take about a week to drive
cross country with all my stuff in mid Dec, with the goal of being
home by christmas. For those of you who are visual learners like me,
here it is in ilustrated form:

New Experiences

So this morning, I took a pontoon boat up the "GTMO River". It is
just a river about a mile long (the part we are allowed to drive up).
On the cuban side, they have a meat packing plant that releases animal
products into the river, so its a great place to watch for fish, shark
and manatee... and today I saw my first and second manatee. Well, to
be honest, I just saw the back and tail of the manatee, but still
better than nothing. It was cool. The river is lined with mangrove
trees, which is quite unique. It basically looks like a huge pile of
pickup-sticks with leaves... completely unpassible if you tried to
walk through it. But all those branches make for good fishing. Too
bad I am not much of a fisherman.

Below are a few pictures from down here for you all to enjoy:

Waiting for a pull.

Playing on the wake. Windmills in the background. It's a tough life, but someone has to do it.

Scuba Diving... and picking up trash.

Angel Fish.

A "Bananna Rat" aptly named after the shape of their turds... for you Princess Bride fans, this must be the inspiration for ROUS's.

OC off to an early lead!!!

In today's news... friends, family and strangers are pulling for Jonny
King to move to Orange County. That's right, as of now, there are 11
votes for Orange County. I'll tell you what, if I ever run for a
public office, Trevor is going to be my campaign manager. The offical
tally is to the right. I am hoping more people vote for playa del
carmon, that sounds nice. haha.

This vote has actually got me in contact with a lot of friends I
haven't talked to in a while, so I am already glad to be putting this
on. For everyone that reads this blog, thanks.

So I am working on my photo website now which I expect a working
version to be up and running in a week or two, and its amazing how
horrible I am at web design now. At one time, I was actually pretty
good. I suppose its a matter of dusting off the rust and putting in
the time to doing it.

Speaking of rust, I already finished one of my goals. I went to the
junkyard, got in good with the jamacians (all the workers in
guantanamo bay are either jamacian or philipino. They are called TCNs
or Third Country Nationalists.... Basically contractors pay them like
$2.00 an hour and can get away with it, because the contract is made
in thier country of origin.) and found a mid 80's chevy with similar
door handles, so I pried one off, and slapped it on mine. Easy fix,
and free. It was actually fun working on the car too. I have a bad
feeling that something bad is going to happen to my '86 Cavalier, so I
may sell it soon while there is still value left in it. I will take a
picture of my car and post it tomorrow so you all can enjoy the
quality.
