January fourth I went to the Medford airport where they proceeded to do the most extreme security check ever done on me. They went through every nook and orifice of my luggage. I did not feel too singled out though for they were going through this 75 year old born again christiains stuff with nearly as much zeal. After the profain security check this geazer handed me a panflet on christ and how to be fearfull of God. After reading this crap I unleashed upon the fearfull man my resentment that people like himself and George Bush are warping christs teachings of unconditional love to warant going on a killing spree, killing thousands in Gods name. Needless to say I freaked the fool out a bit so it brought a great amount of laughter to myself and several people whom had witnessed our interaction when we discovered that we had been assigned seats next to each other. :) Gramps managed to wiezel ihis way out of being my bunk buddy by begging the stuardess to be assigned seperate seats. Of course I ended up sitting next to cute girl whom we had much fun passing the flight with interesting conversation and mild flirtation. I had a great visit with some friends in LA before leaving the next morning for Thailand. It is a funny thing but for my flight to Saibing China i ended up sitting next to the only cutie on the hole plain and then again on my flight from Saibing to Bangkok i was assigned to sit next to this lovely canadian girl who is teaching english in Bangkok. I am not looking to hook up with anyone right now, still being pressent with Jemini emotions, but it is kind of funny how spirit has a way of teasing me. I have arrived in bankok after a 18 hour flight, thats a long time to be trapped inside a giant flying cigar canister. It is good to have my feet back on earth. After a profoundly peacefull tailgaiting speedy taxi ride from the airport, I found a cheap room at the...

It leaves a bit to desire on the esthetic side of things so I might move but its clean, quiet and located next to the Bang Lamphu Canal.

Update: I'm in Bangkok now, making my way to Ko Pha Ngan tomorrow (Sat) night.
I'm staying at the Royal, which is a block away from Khao San Rd (for better or worse). Enjoying flush toilets and hot showers for just a little while longer (960 baht/night, but only for a couple days). I'm yearning for the beach and a respite from the traffic and the dirt of the city, see you all soon!
ps - Tonight, I'm going to try to check out the fire spinners at Prha Athit that Matt mentioned. If anyone is here, say hi!
pps - I love these food vendors! A tasty meal for 25 Baht!
ppps - For anyone flying red eye with stop over in Taipei in the middle of the night: Bring something warm, IT'S FREEZING in the airport.
pppps - Oh Wat Po massage (beautiful temples) with hot herbs....maybe just one more :)

Sat, January 15, 2005 - 10:04 PMhey guys!
it's sunday and i'm waiting at rainbow bungalows for durant to show up tonight. he just arrived- yay!!!!
i played with fire with the local guys in had rin last night. it was *really* wonderful. i spun with them a few nights ago and last night i waited a long time before i went (waiting for a good song). they were encouraging me the entire time. when i finally did go, they lit a huge circle of fire around me and gave me the floor- wow!! then we all played together.
i met eli from santa barbara. he is chillin in had rin.
i have found the weather up near haad yao to be the best and the beaches very nice as well. i've also seen other westerners walking the beach holding a staff. i would be into moving up there for a bit, if anyone is also into it. the beach there does not have a ton of people on it. i've been told tourism is way down, so most of the beaches are pretty empty (i've been to a different one every day!).
tomorrow night is a half moon party i am going to go to. eli is going to meet me there. after that, i'm open for suggestions :) i do like being able to travel easily- i've got a scooter and it makes things easy.
miss you guys!
