A Hero’s Journey
I came across a well written blog about the Deadliest catch I would like to share with you. The author of the blog only goes by the initial “b”, but is obviously a good writer. You can view her blog about the Deadliest Catch here. http://accordingtobreal.blogspot.com/
One of the most interesting aspects of the show to me is the fact that the show appeals to such a wide group of people. According to our web stats, we have been visited by more than 48 countries and every state in the union. I hear from every person you can imagine; from U.S. soldiers fighting in IRAQ to young girls wanting to know more about Jake and Josh. However, there does seem to be something everyone has in common. Respectfully, honest, hardworking - good people.

Lynn ( a true friend ),
No i didn’t know Time Bandit had a book out the kinda interesting. I now have a job!!! I’m only 13 but my mom and dad said that i can detassel so my bro and sis r going to do it with me, and we will get A LOT of money for only 3 weeks of detasseling. I really hate every poisionous plant, they all really itch and i hate them ALL. lol. yeah i do agree moms ( sometimes ) know best lol, j/k!! I really hope my brother has finaly learned that lesson, even though he keeps doing it, he 16, and has a A LOT of friends that do the stupidest things, and of course he always there. I dont like it, im the one that has to listen to them fight all the time:-( Anyway I hope u feel WAY better, i dont like it when people ( or animals ) hurt, i am a BIG animal person. I LOVE horses. Yeah i saw the show I never miss one!!! I really hope Phil can go back on the boat, it wouldn’t seem right without him. I feel reeally bad for jake and josh to have to see thier dad hurt like that. I saw in the show last night that jake was kinda crying. I dont blame him at all i would cry too. ( to tell the truth he was cute when he was all teary eyed ) lol. I’m a girl i had to say that. lol, I have to go to my bff’s house 2morrow cuz shes having a 4th Of July party, i cant wait to go. Well ttly!!

I dunno what it is but “…young girls wanting to know more about Jake and Josh…” drives me so crazy with jealousy.

Lynn,
It’s o.k. that u haven’t writen back, i understand, i want u to get better!!Dont feel bad that u haven’t typed back!!!I talk to my bff eveyday ( we text eachother all day) lol. i still cant believe she moved though:-( Yeah u r right A Hero’s Journey says something about jake & josh at the bottom. lol. I love talking 2 u, it’s like another really good bff!! OMG soooo much has happend to me since we last talked. I went to my bff’s house and we went down in the creek and there was poision ivy or somehing down there and i got it and it turned into something else so my mom took me to the doctor and he said it is more of a rash of some kind, but it iches like crazy!!! and that was like 2 weeks again and i still have it. Also my dad got a BIG raise at his work, so we can do way more now. And my brother got really big trouble by my parents and now cant drive untill he’s 18 ( as my mom said ). there was a big storm that came through here awhile ago and my dad was driving homefrom work in it and it was so bad he had to stop at his brother’s house so he wouldn’t get hurt. Well it’s lunch time and im kinda hungry so im going to go get something to eat.:-) ttly

It’s great to know that good, honest, hard working people can still make it and you can get away from the “cookie cutter” society. Reminds me so much of dad and my grandfather and what they gave me.

Thanks JPo. Your comment really means a lot to me! My feelings about the show truly are heart-felt. I’m increasingly amazed at just how deeply the show effects me. I was able to meet Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand last weekend at a book signing. Both are amazing… authentic, sincere. Johnathan is very symbolic (as the book reveals) and that resonates so much for me. I grew up in the suburbs and went to grad school to study literature and rhetoric. Despite this seeming incongruence, I feel absolutely connected to the guys in the show. We’re a diverse group of fans and I love to hear how the show effects others beyond the surface. Thanks again!

You write beautifully, b and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog. I also agree with The Boog. This show does touch people more deeply than many people know. It was wonderful to see the depth of that insight expressed so accurately and in such a heart-felt way.

Thank you so much for linking to my blog, Morgan. I appreciate your thoughtful remarks. My love for the show and these men that I speak of on my blog is very real. I have a lot of respect for what they do and how authentic they are. It is great to witness the variety of fans, how diverse we are and yet united through watching the Cornelia Marie crew (and the other crews) do their thing.
By the way, I love your website… very well designed and managed. I look forward to returning regularly for updates and insights on the Cornelia Marie! Thanks again.
Thanks also to The Boog. That is another interesting aspect: how the show touches us in deeper ways than the crabbers might have initially imagined.
Cheers,
b

That was a great entry and I wholeheartedly agree with what they are saying. This show touches people much more deeply than I think the crabbers sometimes know.
