    Been down that road 

    At this point, I’m not even sure I know the meaning of shame.

    Very organized 

    I have a whole system for dealing with women.  If possible, I take a pic of them with my phone so I remember what they look like.  Then, in the address book I have them broken up into groups.  If they have a pound sign next to their name, I’ve pounded them.  If there’s an astrick next to their name it means I don’t want to hear from them again.  If there’s a plus sign it means I want to sleep with them.  And if there’s a minus sign next to their name it means . . . I’m not sure what that means but I’m sure I did it for a reason.

    Sad 

    The more and more I read the local newspapers and see western educated Thais point out the problems in Thailand, it gives me hope that things might be on the edge of improving. Then I talk with other Thai people and realize that they would rather have 500 baht in exchange for their vote than voting in the best person for the job, and it makes me sad.

    Good Company 

    We all sat in the back at her wedding trying to guess who hadn’t fucked her.  Who invites a bunch of their one night stands to their wedding?

    It’s inevitable 

    Sooner or later every expat thinks he can make a killing running a bar.  It’s human nature.
