• Thanks for reading!

  So one side effect of having my nifty little map in the corner as a counter is that i can see graphically where all my readers are. Of course as those bubble get bigger, and xanga footprints increase, i feel this corresponding need to write more often, almost inversely related with the quality or at least quantity of what i have to see. In the last 4 years since i started keeping a blog (dont worry, i am not waxing melodramatic on you) it has evolved from something that was initially a way to jot down thoughts and frustrations to a way to keep in touch with friends as we all moved to separate places to even my occasional travel agent as i stayed with friends i met through xanga. And now, i have totally lost track of who comes here or why. I average about 100 hits a day now, and i only have 50 subscribers, and that is awesome. Also, i have no idea where i was going with this, but lets just call it reader appreciation-thanks folks, whoever you are and whyever you come here to read my musings and links, you kick ass.

  And now on with musings in list form for no good reason

  1) We had our first performance as a band last night, and we rocked. Our official band name is the 38th parallel, the the line between good and evil, the imaginary line dividing north korea from south. We played 2 covers and 2 original songs. I sang lead on 1 of each, and our other singer, Focker, did for the others. Opened with basketcase by greenday, then killing in the name of by rage. then 2 songs by us, faith and devotion, and american jihad. The audience reaction was pretty good, we got applause and cheers and more importantly we all had a great time playing together. So as soon as i get the video and audio from people, i will post it up. See the delay in picture posting is not my fault this time!

  2) To hell with exams, i leave for bangkok thailand in just 3 days! And i am going to the human bread bakery, and into the jungle for hiking and elephant rides and to hug a tiger and other stuff. I totally dont get those people who take vacations and then just want to sit poolside and sip drinks. For that, i could stay home and get drunk for free…I am all about seeing what the country has to offer exclusively, stuff that cant be found anywhere else, no matter how strange, dangerous, or perverted it may seem. It’s like being my own personal superhero/explorer or something.

  3) I received internet spam the other day, with the sender Jesus, and the subject line “porn!” And my first thought was “Jesus
  porn?? Whaaaaa?” Then, of course, my active imagination took over…
  “Followers, this is my body and blood. Let us all partake of my body…
  *bow-chikka-wow-wow*” And I was thoroughly confused for several minutes

  4) this is a super long tattoo to have on your back. presumably it is there for the gentleman to read while he engages in intercourse, but that would creep me out…what about you?
