We'll after a long long long long work week and anticipation of a much needed enjoyable relaxing weekend, a group of us headed down further south to my favorite sun spot, Kenting. It was Mike's birthday celebration/St.Patty's day EVENT. Either way, we had a rediculous amount of fun. The weather was not the best this past weekend but we tried to make the best of it while playing in the rain. haha. Rach and I decided to, what seemed like a lot of fun at the time standing back and watching, get strapped in to a bungee cord thing on a [View Full Entry]

Two weeks ago I arrived in a place known as Bangkok Thailand....def. a city that never sleeps. As I waited for Rachel to get in from Chiang Mai, which of course we are on Thai time so she was late and I was worried but whatever she finally made it, I think I was in a minor culture shock....WHITE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, and it was great! It was so nice to finally be around foreigners who would talk to you, who werent afraid to make friends. As we left the airport we headed to our Hostel, my god was it small.....two [View Full Entry]

Well.....it's time for a serious blog...a little more about reflection and being a traveler. I met a great person down in the Dirty, a type of foreigner, besides the ones that I already have, that I didn't think exisited, but she became one of my closest friends over the last few months, but sadly, she is departing to Thailand to lay on the beach, eat banana pancakes, swing in hammocks, and enjoy life...(which Rach and I will be joining her to do so in a couple of weeks)....anyways....I think of this quote: Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

What kinda crazyness did I get myself into?............... So last week I joined a friend and went with her and her co-workers from work to this Paintballing field. honestly i thought it was going to be something like balloon paintballing, not like gun paintballing. I was scared to death. pretty much hid behind these walls the whole time, until once when Jodi and I thought we were being really sneaky, we totally got ambushed and were attacked from behind. talk about major brusies, swelling, and pain on the buttocks and thighs. those things KILL!!!! so from then on i just threw [View Full Entry]
