A long sleep and late afternoon has arrived. The sound of a
subtle rain gently taps upon the roof above and a confusion
comes over me. Recollecting the perfect weather from recent
days, it’s impossible to comprehend that rain is now upon us.
Sliding the curtain and stepping out onto the balcony, the
sky is blanketed in grey and [...]

There was a small private island called Nuang Yuan just off the coast, about a
ten minute boat ride so I figured I would head over. It was
the only location in Thailand that had an understanding that
conservation might be a good idea. There was no public
awareness instilled at any level that throwing trash into the
ocean wasn’t a [...]

The innocent idea of a statue, or sculpture, or a shrine, or
any sort of thing that people impose power onto… a mythical

most immediate concern was to get the girl back to Bangkok
and relieve myself from the caretaker role that I had
accepted. Surrendering to an unnecessary circumstance was no
longer an option as my trip was [...]

Was going through the day with the usual distractions, doing my best to avoid completing the writing I needed to finish until glancing up to find the VanityFair article about the 9-11 tapes. Ahh!! Perfect justification to stop writing!!
Basically, an ‘exclusive’ story and playback of a bunch of the tapes from the North American [...]

The simple concept that the United States of America was conceived and composed by a type of personality, desperate to attain ‘more’ regardless of the sacrifice and potential isolation that was in store for them, has created a world where satisfaction is unattainable. The abundance of immigrants that crossed oceans to find a new life [...]

My eyes open. I am awake. Glancing at the clock, my mind quickly counts the hours that I have slept. Thirteen. Thirteen hours. How the hell did thirteen hours pass, while I lay in this overheated space without flinching strong enough to awaken. My thoughts spin and I quietly confuse myself as to why I [...]
