Chiang Mai to Vientiene Visa Run

A preferable option...

Option 1.Bullet to the head...
Option 2. Mini Bus Driver on Diazepam = 11 hour journey that takes 15 hours
Option 3. Mini Bus Driver on Speed = 11 hour journey reduced to 6 hours
Option 4. Hit in the NUTS!

The pimped ride of the driver on speed!

Skype

I love you Skype!

I was going to write several blogs bitching, whinging (Which I might add is Australian for complaining incessantly) and moaning about the last 72 hours. But at the end of the day, there is no point. My life is Good! Great, Sweet!

Here I will pay tribute to social media and the world wide web in general. Specifically Skype!

I just got off 3 hours worth of much needed skype calls. The downside of traveling (besides long shitty journeys) is when you have been on the road for a while or have really close friends living on the other side of the world, SKYPE makes everything better. Call 1. Leigh. London. Broke his ankle, so is couch bound and on crutches for 6 weeks... Sucked in! from the bottom of my heart. As a typical gay boy does, tells you how it is, get your shit together, blah blah. Always a great laugh. Call 2. Mary, London. My sister from another mister. Always at the same point in our lives, both personal trainers, always working on our business, both random, scatty, passionate and full of words...love a good yarn. Call 3. Dana. Barcelona. The sexiest German / Spanish girl I know. Always calming, a great listener and always a good laugh. Haven't spoken to her in a while, so it was amazing to see her face. She reminds me of the ashram and she was my shoulder.

Last week it was Helene and Eugene. From My mother land down under and vegimite sandwiches.

Eug my life long Bestie...but also my sister from another Mister! Biggest heart I know, miss our chats so so much, much love to her always and forever.  

Helene...hmmm sexy... but how to explain this one? A new person in my life, young, sexy and beautiful. I definitely appreciate her perspective in life. She Feels like the perfect wife! playful, fun, outgoing, yet, down to earth and fiery in a passionate calm way.

Loved talking to each and everyone of these peeps, it makes them seem less far away. It also makes my head feel less noisy and congested with random thoughts that at times can overwhelm. Blogging helps, but you don't talk back like the crazy people in my life do.

So, WWW, Skype and a great wifi connection I salute you! I prostrate! I curtsy! I do the running man and even the sprinkler...

Thank you human evolution...as destructive as you can be, sometimes good shit happens!

100 miles per hour

My Brain

Jesus Christ...my head is traveling 100 mph right now, this very second. So many blogs are about to happen tonight, right here and right now. Obviously hoping for some clarity and need an outlet immediately.

I love you blog!

1. Just got back to Pai after a torturous visa run (blog to come)

2. Tomorrow, am doing a 24 hour fast slash liver and gallstones cleanse, which means lock down in my room.

3. Heading to a monastery this weekend, to do a 10 day silent meditation (while all the while I have a squillion things whirling around in my mind) probably not practising the power of now.

4. Want my mum to come and visit me in April, but want to have an apartment and job sorted

5. My best friend from Dubai also wants to come and visit and I am dying to see her too but have so much on, but need to make that happen.

6. Have my TEFEL course work I need to complete so that I can then look for a job come April.

7. Have had a girl on my mind for months now and I am wondering why...

8. Need to earn money and live cheap

9. Need to get back to Pai after the monastery and kick ass in Muay Thai, because cannot currently proceed to do so because I am smoking like a trooper!

10. Just want everything to happen yesterday. I.e. I want to be in my life, where my mind is. Feeling so not present right now and I think that 10 days in silence will definitely help me disconnent and reflect upon the journey so far.

These are most definitely a high level overview of whats happening inside, but it feels like there is more. I have had a few interesting conversations the past couple of days with different guys I have met along the way and it makes me really feel that I am bipolar. To what degree, I am not sure. To be determined.
