Like the first time I got laid, I never thought I'd see the day. My very own blog and nothing to say...
Hopefully this blog will become a good resource for the scant few people who care what I'm up to to get some information on my whereabouts, my activities, the nonsense rattling around in my head and maybe even see the odd picture. What would I like to get out of it? Needless to say, I want a Playboy editor to read it, track me down and give me a permanent position as the Mansion correspondent and "guy who helps change Hef's wives oil." In the immortal words of Steven Tyler, "dream on."
I'll be on a flight from Boston to Bangkok on January 6th, 2008. I bought a one-way ticket from a drunken travel agent named Bruce on Martha's Vineyard who was more interested in telling me about the pear pies he was baking than giving me flight options. I barely escaped his home office with only one large brown paper bag of the rockhard fruit that had "come down in that goddam hurricane last week" and he literally chased me down the driveway with another overstuffed bag yelling something about World War II veterans and a ski trip to New Hampshire. As an afterthought he also booked me a flight to Bangkok via Minniappolis and Tokyo. I'm hoping to turn this blog into a personal travel journal of sorts, an interpretation of my experiences through the lens of my youthful hubris. I am optimistic that at least some of what I post here will be marginally entertaining and somewhat informative, although I invite anybody who feels differently to let me know so I can tell you to piss off.
I'm pumped to be on my way to South East Asia, as of yet unexplored by me. I have about 1500 dollars to last me the rest of my life so if postings stop sometime in mid-March somebody please deposit some money in my account and check the Cambodian jails. On the topic of money and totally unrealted to anything, I am always accepting donations towards my massive and as of yet completely ignored student debt. Your contributions are always appreciated as they allow me to further extend the vacation I have been enjoying since I started high school.
Assuming I survive the holiday season without getting alcohol poisoning or gout, the next time I post I'll be on the other side of the world.
