"She'll cut a bitch!"

I never found spell check on the computer in Asia, and kinda refused to go back and edit later on. So, if you continue reading and don't expect correct usage then you'll be fine! Not exactly happy, like Thai massage happy...happy ending happy, but in a non-satisfied-way happy, now that I've read this I'm a bit happier happy!

If you ask nice, or offer rewarding packages, I tell you more.

I used to think blogging was well, ummm...not for me. Until my friend Joe hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for like some ungodly amount of 2500 miles from Mexico to Canada...and blogged all about it! And then I became addicted and cursed myself for not publicly humiliating myself sooner.

Damn It!

A Fun Picto-version about SE Alaska North America » United States » Alaska » Haines

so big!

We headed out of Juneau on the slow boat ferry to Haines. Can I just say this was....by far the best 4 hours in Alaska! Party of 5 on the top deck enjoying not only beautiful sunny weather, but warm weather, delicious margaritas and so much seafood...it was friggin' sweet! Haines was totally awesome and I can see why people never leave. It was packed full with writers, painters, sculpters, musicians, I'm sure there are some drifters n droolers and then me. I met this dude who has a cute little co-op gallery in the woods, and he lives across the [View Full Entry]

The Final Frontier North America » United States » Alaska » Juneau

Crazy Huge Glacier!

Alaska was the trip to complete the North American adventure voyage...(that's why I feel like I gotta keep moving, since it took me 31 years to cover that much ground, and to think that North America is only a fraction of the globe, if I kept my current pace, I would never get 'er done before I hit 65 in which I time I wanna be taken out back and put down with diginity gawd damnit.) ...wow, does the period go before or after the parathethesis...what if the paranthesis was properly plural? Alrighty, now that I've spelled parenthesis wrong three times [View Full Entry]

Kicking Hunger and Breaking World Records North America » United States » Oregon » Portland

Whoop Whoop...Pork N Beans!

Seriously! This weekend had to be way up there for one of the coolest things I've ever done! I'm super proud of the accomplishment, endurance, spirit, dedication, and team effort of breaking Guiness' Book of World Records for the Longest Kickball Game!! Shaun, myself and about 40 other rockstars proudly endured 33 hours of one of our favorite pastimes, kickball!! Yup, the big 'ole red bouncy school yard ball rolled and flew through the air starting Sat morning at Overlook Park and ended Sunday evening all in honor of the Oregon Food Bank. Raising money and awareness for our community. Al [View Full Entry]

Pug Crawl! North America » United States » Oregon » Portland

The Little Mermaid
The winner of course!

I do declare...Pug owners are the best! Lindsay and Lucy (pug owners of course) took Heather and I to Portland's 9th Annual Pug Crawl hosted by Mac Tarnahan's Taproom to benefit the Oregon Humane Society this spring, celebrating "Pugstock", Pugs, Peace & Love. This was a legit 'festy' with vendors, contests, music, fashion show, a pug kissing booth, doggy massages and beer, of course. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of putting costumes on dogs, however I think they all actually really liked it. This was so much fun and I'm for sure going back next year! [View Full Entry]

Hendrix, Starbuck's & Bruce Lee North America » United States » Washington » Seattle

Fresh Veggies
Love the colors!

Oh my Gawd...I'm friggin' funny. Like gettin' awards funny... like should I be sorry , I'm so funny while you're kealed over in laughter/tears and pee in your pants, kinda funny? Actual 'Thank You' cards from persons, ie: Angie from her birthday party, where she 'thanked me' for being the entertainement. Let's start there, who gets thank yous from friends' bithdays, from the birthday friends herself? No one, thanks. Just me. You got it babe, at your service. The next one came in the form of an award! Yes, the 'medal' type of gold. I wore that fugger around my [View Full Entry]

The Meanest Goose Ever... North America » United States » Oregon » Portland

Cherry Trees in bloom!

I'm totally scared of birds. My mother has an infinite fear of the feathery friends and she instilled shear panic in me dating decades back, when my dad and I tried to save a fallen baby finch with a broken wing and my mom wouldn't let me touch it, or open the shoe box to give it more food or water despite it was crying for its baby momma, insisting it had rabies. (Do birds get rabies? I never thought to ask her then and it's possibly sadder that I don't know the answer now. Not sadder than making the word [View Full Entry]

I Heart Oregon North America » United States » Oregon » Coos Bay

I'm glad I like to take pictures!
This is one of 'those" pictures, that says, "keep taking pictures!"

Not long after the jet lag wore off returning from our hiatus in Asia (more about that later...how I am by trying to publish my debaucherious tails that I've dubbed 'Into the Orient, I Did Not Do Any Illegal Drugs in Asia', book...with full color pictures and zero spell check to-date) I myself was off...down the Oregon Coast for a bit of "work" for the week. You know for that 'jobby thingy' that keeps the Organic veggies in stock and the fresh potable water leaking from the kitchen faucet? I will say, that for the better part of what other people [View Full Entry]

Cool, Nice work on your Mist and Fencing!

Let's Wrap this Baby Up! Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Samui

Fave Boat Shot

Wow! Let's just say, "It's about friggin' time!" I can't pin-point the exact reason I haven't finalized our Asia breakdown, other than the harsh bitch slap back into reality of being gone for over a month, returning to of course "all hell breaking loose". I swear, you would think the world was going to come to an end when pallet after pallet of seasonal goods are delivered and the under-thanked, over-brutilized rep is on vacation and god forbid...whose gonna merchandise my garden decor? It's almost as if they couldn't fathom wiping their own arse, even when I had been fully available [View Full Entry]

Bugs In My Belly Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Samui

Team Grasshoppa

Yes, 5 to be exact. Team Grasshoppa takes the lead with 4, Team Beetle holding not-so-strong with 1. It was all fried, so yes, some people may say that it fell under the umbrella of "all fried food is yummy". There wasn't a chicken-esque taste remotely encountered here, even when eating actual chickens or with any of the other weird, unidentified meat that I ate served on a stick in Thailand. But the Beetle...which I'm gonna go ahead and announce that was top 3 most disgusting things I have ever eaten in my life. Even as I am writing this I [View Full Entry]

Buddhas & Bras Please! Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Samui

Ornate roof

We had plans for awhile to get on our Temple clothes, head out early and tour the islands' Wats. We had to take my mom to the airport early, so we figured this would be a great day to wear our only long pants and short-sleeved shirts and beat the crowds. There is about 20 Wats on Samui, so we picked a few and started off before the real heat of the day forced us to flee to the ocean. It was beautiful! Cool ocean breezes, amazing architecture, and simply pure peace and quite before the rest of the island had [View Full Entry]
