Don't you think that airports are the worst things ever created in the history of, well, eternity? I do. Everything is supposedly cheaper, due to the absence of duty-tax, but with the exception of various kinds of chocholate, everything else seems above the Recommended Retail Price. What makes it worse is the waiting. The anticipation of long hours sitting still, sometimes in bumpy conditions and most times in states of semi-conciousness, lapsing between the real world and that which resides in your head. That's not all though. What about that family you see in the lounge, the one with the endless collection of young children, all tugging at their mother's side, asking questions, crying, yelling and laughing, all at the same time! But don't forget that they're doing this all at the top of their lungs while @ the same time pooping their pants, to add another sense of disgust to the faces of those now trapped, maybe for hours with these little 'treasures'.
It's enough to make you want to cry.
However, don't take the box of tissues out just yet! What makes all of this suffering worth its while is the destination that you will reach after the torment is over. It may be serene beaches with golden sand and crystal-clear water, or perhaps a winter getaway, with snowfall and picturesque mountain peaks waiting to be skied. Or maybe it's just the presence of family and/or friends which makes the location perfect. What ever it is, it makes the 'travel' side of travel seem insignifigant. In the grand scheme of things, anyway.
cya later.

| 'J' Accuse...'
Agh!!! I have been sitting here for ages, trying to figure out what i should write down as today's entry, but all that i can come up with is a stupid heading, stolen from the infamous Emile Zola, and this f***ing lame ass opening paragraph. Hmmm... What to talk about? Oh! Today i got to visit the VietCong tunnel systems west of Saigon. It was pretty interesting, and it did give me the opportunity to fire some of the NVA's weapons of choice. I fired an automatic rifle and several types of handgun. It was an intense experience as the recoil from the bullets expulsion is more powerful than you would imagine. I was happy though, becauase i hit most of my targets and got a feel for a basic type of firearm. I also finished the book i was reading, which was sad because i really enjoyed this one. Thats it from me though, sorry it was short. But it's not as if many people read this anyway, so in reference to my intro: "J'accuse"... vous, de désertion quand j'étais le besoin de vous plus...

* Where is teshah!? No change to her Xanga, which is unusual...*
So, another entry in the weird and wonderful world of Xanga, and another waste of your precious time... I only say this because my site has just about as much interesting information as the Patana Staff Gallery. But at least the Gallery has those hilarious pictures of clowns pulling their silliest faces. I could never quite understand why the pictures were there, but hey, everyone deserves a little entertainment once in a while, dont you think? _
 My Revised Pic' of Kevin. Sorry, i meant PIRATE KEVY... _ Eh? What's that i hear you say?, You want to know about my day?, well okay then, if you insist... Well, it all began at 10am when my drowzy eyelids receded and light rushed in at the speed of.... ... ....f***!, am i dumb or what? Anyways, my dad was waking me and yelling that the car was here and everyone was downstairs ready to go, so i did my usual trick of rolling out of bed, showering, dressing and walking to the car in a total hypnotic state. Then it was on to the market and the commencement of bargaining with the locals. Hahahaha, i'm sorry, did i say bargaining? Because i meant, EXPLOITATION. The locals saw us coming and it was almost as if we had dollar signs painted on our foreheads... I'm sure they were thinking; "STUPID FOREIGNERS", which is actually about right... Yay! GO ASIANS! They rule so much!, i wish i was one. But I am an OSST-RAY-LEE-AN (which is also cool, sometimes... ). oh yeah, check the sppelling skills. I am a god! jk Where was i? Oh yeah, the market. Well, we were there and my mom saw this beautiful and intricate model of an old yacht and so she purchased it for me. It is so big! Almost 1/2 as big as me (3ft), and i was nice to her because it was expensive. hehehe, i would never waste my dosh on stuff like that, but i am more than happy to except gifts of the sort! I might even try my hand at sailing... In the BATH-TUB! Ohhh yeahhh, Captain Alex! YOU KNOW IT! Then we spent the rest of the day looking in art galleries, which was okay, it's nice to see another culture's artistic interpretation of life. Now I am at the house, eating and listening to AAF.
"Making all these waves and I wonder where the days went, I sit and think of you, I hope the feeling's mutual..."
Writing lyrics am I? damn straight!
Anyways please leave a comment on my site, and if you're nice you will also give me Eprops! I have to go, well, i dont have to, it's just that i dont have anything else to write.
So goodbye to you; my loyal readers... HEY! , I CAN HEAR YOU LAUGHING, YOU BASTARDS!
...  Bye!
<Alex

| If you think that traffic is a problem in Bangkok, i would seriously like to invite you to Saigon to show you just how f***ing wrong you are. Oh, Whoops, when i said 'Saigon', i meant to say ' HO chi minh city', which the dirty commies have named it since the fall of South Vietnam in the mid '70's.... But thats it for my impromptu history lesson, and i'd like to tell you all, that I am in 'Nam....! Ohhhh yeaahh, it's like Beijing, but more 3rd world-ish and warmer. I am staying in a house which is owned by my mommy's friend who used to live in Bangkok, and it is one big mother-trucker. And while we're on the subject, THEIR TV IS F***ING HUGE, it's the biggest i've ever seen! Wow, it gives me chills just thinking about it....... mmmmmm... teeeeeeeveeeeee.....
Anyways, the level of humidity here is extremely high, almost at a level which would cause hallucinations in some peoples minds, so naturally, i am fine. This is partly due to the fact that temperature doesn't affect me (Tshirts at 6am in Beijing) and partly because i dont have that 'mind' thing i keep hearing people talk about . Blah...Blah...Blah....
On a more serious, and saddening note, i still havn't heard from a friend who i appologised to, again, yesterday, I hope it isn't all wrecked, and i just want to reconfirm that my appologies were of the most sincerest nature and that i hpe trust may return. I really wanna talk, so if he would at least make contact in some form or another it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, i met up with a friend yesterday who has been extremely forgiving after my stupid ass antics towards her over the past month or so... I'm so glad that she could spare the time for me, as i wanted to see her in person before i left. We talked about some stuff, and sorted some other stuff and said goodbye, as friends, which is ALL that I could EVER WANT from HER from NOW until ETERNITY; a FRIENDSHIP. NOTHING MORE, nothing less...... hmmmm, my saying sorry is very subtle isn't it? So yeah, she came over to my house and managed to evede my family for a while until my smallest brother found out and started his "Kevin Stinks" game again. I just hope that she knows that i'll miss her too , and that i will keep in touch, and yes, the 'beep-beep' was one of the most ultimately skilled things that i have ever heard. That was an A* effort! <Oh yeah, and tarun, if i didnt write much about you in my farewell speech, i'm sorry, your like my second closest friend in bangkok and i wish you all the best, and get that top mark in BS, Whitely must be proven to be a good teacher. I'll cya man, expext sms's> Thanks for reading, i guess its only sarah and tesha, so hi, and bye.
Anyway, Cya later, I hear the commies coming so it's time to 'lock and load'... ...This one is for you Petey!!  ... *SHOTGUN FIRES IN BACKGROUND* ....... | | |
