Sitting On The River Titan… In A Mobile Shipyard (Alabama).
You ever sat in a Mobile Shipyard?
Crazy as hell, a testament of what man is capable of, to watch a boat being hauled out of the water. The landscape of a Mobile Shipyard. Pure industry, mechanical bodies everywhere. From the machines on down to man. There is something different about a shipyard, and something so unsettling to me. Its so unnatural. But it is a spectacle to behold, a Mobile Shipyard (that’s Mobile Alabama, not a actual mobile shipyard that moves). Anyways they are necessary, they provide jobs, and sustain our marine industry, I myself would rather not spend too much time in a Mobile Shipyard, Its boring as all hell, and there’s not a lot to look at. I Loove natural surroundings, not so much of that in a Mobile shipyard.
Mobile Shipyard, It is what it is…
It is what is, Sitting in a Mobile Shipyard, its a definite a experience, the constant grind…
…The ever going worker bees, buzzing about in their labors, slaving away to the large monstrous steel queens that these ships are. It really is a sight to see…
… A boat being hauled out in a Mobile Shipyard. You never realize how really massive a boat is until its brought out of the water, and you are looking up at it. Its awesome to say the least. So I guess sitting in a Mobile Shipyard really isn’t that bad, you get to see some pretty marvelous things here, what the human mind is really capable of creating, and it all starts with the power of a idea. Its BadAss. Now the more I think of it, the more stoked I get that I get to see cool things like a Mobile Shipyard. Feel pretty Blessed. So Lucky that I am so free in my life, so free in my travels, my ways , in every which way a person can be free. Its the only way to live in my opinion.
So as I sit here in the Mobile Shipyard, on the Gulf Coast of Alabama…
…I ponder, I question, what is it that traps people in the daily grind, what is it that makes people settle for less when there is no reason too. There is no law that says life has to be hard, miserable, or mediocre. The whole “life’s a bitch and then you die…” thing. I could kick that damned saying right off a cliff and in to the sea, watch it wash away into nothing, and forget about it forever.
From this Mobile Shipyard I am telling you to never settle, that life does not have to be hard, it doesn’t have to be boring.
Get out and seize the day, live life and join us in our movement of people who won’t settle, who will succeed, and who will live a happy existence, free of financial stress, and the burden of time.
