Been a while

So it has been quite a while to say the least.... I have been having nothing short of a ridiculous time on this here trip that has included three continents, six countries, and a few more adventures than I am entirely comfortable with. The last three weeks I have been all over Thailand and am now in a small city in the far North East. It is a legal entry point for Laos so it sees a lot of back packers. I am in a great guest house that looks over the Mekong, but considering that I can't remember the name of the town, and Luang Prabang (a small UNESCO listed city on the Mekong that is supposed to be jaw dropping) is only a few hours away, I may have one more trip before hunkering down for a prolonged period in one spot.


Over the last eight weeks I have walked up to a war zone, gotten my dick stuck in my fly, stumbled in on a wild Buddhist ceremony, hooked up with a tranny (whoops), hitchhiked in the developing world, showed up fifteen minutes late for a riot, been in multiple motor bike crashes, and pretty much just exhausted my self. To date the biggest lesson I have learned, which is perhaps more of an affirmation of what I already knew, is that you can NEVER over estimate the value of being able to laugh at your self. Yeah, that one has really come in handy...

So I am gonna start ya'll off with a doozy. This story struck me as the most traumatic and funny of the things that I am willing to talk about. By the way, Chronology for the blog is totally out the window. It has been too long so stories are just going to come in the order I feel like writing. I hope to either buy a really cheap computer in the next few days or get mom and dad to ship me mine so I can include photos and run a much slicker looking blog. You should check back on a regular basis because after this, the updates are just gonna keep coming. Keep in mind I love comments and always want to know what you think I should be doing to make things more entertaining, improve writing etc. so let 'em fly, I know Heather will. And let your friends know. I'm trying to turn this into a job.

I have to know the blessing you bestowed upon me before I left AZ that time. I think you may have had a hand in saving my life.

I can't wait for the stories.

It has taken me forever to be able to read your latest. We love them so do keep the stories coming for the plain folk at home.
