" the many ways "

---

so i'm back. bangkok is the place that i find myself at once again, and that's fine.

there are many different ways i can begin to describe the trip down to the south, and many ways to deliver the words. for example, i could begin with hilarity such as this:

- i'm sitting in a room with one of the "for-hire" crewmen for our contest. the lights are out and i can hear him having sex with a girl he picked up not half an hour ago. i'm shit-faced drunk and my brain is on shock shutdown; i feel very out-of-context.

or

- there's something about the sense that someone you're looking at, has the immense potential to be a man, while looking completely like a woman. this is fine, until you begin to walk away, while (s)he starts to cat-call in your direction. i mean, we can be friends, but i just don't swing it like that.

or

- i'm trying to go to bed. it's five o'clock in the morning, and there's a transvestite sleeping/spooning with another one of our road-crew. his/her gay outlandish pimp is trying to feel me up while i watch the "chic fashion" channel on shitty cable. i have to move away a numerous amount of times, before i decide to sleep sitting up in a chair. there is something very odd about this setup, and i really wish it were morning, right now.


of course all of these stories could be shared or expanded upon, but i don't want to go through the remembrance of these particular ones. at least not soon anyhow. better yet, in the following days, i'll provide you with some stories that really affected me, and the things that i would really like to share.

it is a strange strange normal weird-ass world out there people, life will catch you off guard sometimes, and you gotsta be at ready.

more to come soon.
