Hey there everybody, its been a while since ive wrote a new blog but Sara just told me i should do another one, i think she is pretty supprised that i even do blogs!
Well today starts my Vacation, much MUCH needed vacation! Where am i going for my vacation u ask? Reno Nevada, to BLOW SHIT UP.
Let me inform u about my part time job. I work for lantis pyro out of Salt lake. I do large sized fireworks shows for fourth of july, new years, and any other occasion that needs some fire works. i have worked there for about a year now and i LOVE it! It is the biggest adrenelane rush u could get. It is ALOT of work but it is worth it. We shoot shells up to eight inches, and that is Huge!
I went to Reno for new years and shot the fireworks show for the silver legacy, me and my best freind Red were on the highest rooftop in northern nevada, the second highest in ALL of nevada, it was a blast.... litterally. The show we did was over twenty minets of bliss, The whole building was Shaking and booming. The main pyro technictian was on the lower level rooftop of the legacy, U know the one with the big ass dome! He was doing a show on that level so his fireworks were blowing right in my face it was a feeling that not alot of people have or will ever experence.
So this year we are doing the fourth of july show for The Nugget, we will be doing a show on three different locations, two rooftops and a train yard. Im not Sure where i will be while we are shooting this year, but i am super super excited just thinking about how fun it will be. Yes it will be alot of work, but it is still a vacation to me.
This vacation is really important to me. I need to leave this place called castle country. I see the same people everyday, do the same things everyday, and see the same shit....everyday. So when i get a chance to leave here, see new stuff, meet new people, and do new things i will jump on the chance. If u lived down here, u would understand where i am comming with this.
Well ladies and gentlemen, it is time for me to prepare to go. I must pack, pay bills now that will be due while im gone, go to the mecca for merchendise....wal-mart, and last but not least. JUST GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! untill next time...... adios amigos

longest week ever!
So anyway, i am here to tell u about my long ass week i had. It has been a long week for a number of reasons, number one, work, number two drama, and number three is definately my lack of sleep.
First let me tell u about my job, i am an electricians apprentice that works for a company called ECI, or Electrical contractors incorperated. Let me tell u about Eci. We mainly do electrical work, hence my job title is "Electricans apprentice", but eci also does other contractor work such as , seamless raingutter, steel buildings, framing, chainlink fence, and pipe insulation.
Lately i have been working on a steel building, the biggest one we have ever done. Its really not bad doing this building, i mean its a good job and all, but i am required to be at work at five thirty every single morning. This wouldnt be such a bad thing except i have a hard time going to bed early, i have never went to bed early and never had to get up that early my whole life. I have been doing this for about two months now and i thought i was getting used to it. I can definately feel it wearing on me now.
The location of this building is in the BOTTOM of nine mile canyon in utah, it takes at least an hour and half to get there after i leave the shop, and this is why i have to wake up early. Just waking up early isnt the thing that is kicking my ass, it is alot of other factors such as, the heat, strenuous labor, and stress. We are building above five running gas compressors for bill barrett corp. and working above those compressors the temporature is alwase at LEAST 160 degrees. You will drink at least a gallon of water, and not take a piss all day long. The strenuous labor isnt too bad by itself eather. I mean it still doesnt hold a candle to doing concrete. When u add this factor in with the heat it definately makes a difference tho.
The stress is unreal, I have five other guys working with me every day, and their life is litterally in my hands, as well as my life is in theirs, this is where trust comes into play. You have an obligatoin not to do anything stupid so these other guys can go home and see their familys.
The next factor that makes this week so damn long is the drama. If u dont know, i have an ex-wife, along with a beautiful son jake. My ex has been seeing this kid with a history of domestic violence, and this wed. he decided he was going to smack my ex wife around. wich is all fine with me, except my son. its pretty irritating that he would have the nerve to do that, and make death threats to her and my son and stuff. He is pretty lucky i dont know what he looks like where he lives or even his name, but thats beyond the point here. When my ex is in trouble, she knows that i am the person to call, to make it all better, or just to listen. Well she called me and of course i went over. Now add this to the stress of me working at this job i told u about k?
The last thing that makes this week so long is the fact i cant fall asleep before midnight anymore. The fact that i have to wake up early.... well it kicks my ass.
Right now i am feelings pretty draind from all this weeks happenings, put in over 70hrs and still manage to come home to a totally empty house and be alone. anyway, i am gettin pretty damn tired so i am going to go to bed... alone.....and wake up .....alone..... so i can get ready to start another exciting week, in the life of Trenton wilson.
