A New Woo?


I Like to Lurk

When i travel, i'm fairly sure i'm a different person. close to it, at least. when i'm home in america, i focus on positive cash flow, and that's kinda soul crushing. especially since my cash flow isn't alway positive. on the road, i'm just different. it's like once i pass through immigration on the other side, my passport gets stamped and i leave something behind as i proceed to the adventure. now that i think about it, maybe i'm not really a different person, but i do feel like a big load's been taken off me. i'm a little more free. i believe a great perspective is: it is what it is. taking things as they come. i just notice that on the road, things seem to come at a rapid rate.

My last day of the trip, entirely in Bangkok, was awesome. on the bus from donsak to surat thani, an acquaintance from the beach on phangan, known as "the chilean", recognized me at a rest break. we then caught an overnight train from surat thani to bangkok and checked into a hotel just off the koh sanh road. now that i think about it, the story isn't all that interesting. all we did was a bit of gift shopping in the AM, missioned around on the public bus system, relaxed in their air-con room during the hot hours, then walking the streets all afternoon while drinking beer and eating tamarind candy. catching meals at street stall restaurants. talking kak all day. i can't think of anything we didn't talk about. sleeping in a/c was a major bonus, too. we didn't know each other for that long. kinda weird, it's the comfort of strangers. realistically, it's likely that i'll never see either of these girls again. but there is that chance. that's part of the traveling game. take it or leave it, it is what it is. this is where i'm supposed to come back with the splitting 2 girls dynamic, but i think i'll give it a rest for now.

where am i? i like to lurk. tyne and marci, and you-know-who, at bounty in kuta, bali. Vampire Weekend has slimed their way into my pizzle playlists.
