Brownout – massive one last night. Lasted from 8pm until around noon today. Sputtered to life a few times for moments. Electric company didn’t even know about it until people started calling them; then claimed a few hours later than nothing was wrong.
Weather on Boracay – The coolness finally broke and the sun came out again with a sharp rise in temp over the past few hours. Everyone seems to like it. I’ll never understand how being sticky with sweat and needing nasty sunblock goop crammed into pores makes a person ‘happy’ in the heat and humidity.
SeaTac computer store – These guys simply shutdown for 5 days without telling anyone or leaving any emergency numbers for all the computers locked up in their shop. They’re still shut and people cant get to their equip. They promised to get on machines the next day and told me personally they’d be open the following day to pick up the notebook. Nope, they never opened the next day and are still closed.
Gun Battle at Fridays Resort last night - The Boracay shooting in the news was over the Fridays security guards trying to move a fence of a new construction next door. What the article doesn’t say is that knee injury was from a shotgun blast and that everyone around was whipping out shotguns and blasting away like some budget movie scene with “Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting” theme songs. Yet only one person was arrested….. over a fence….. on Boracay, the jewel of Philippine tourism.
William – The famous Bom-Boms Rastafarian guitar player now lives downstairs from me.
Toilet Paper – I has it.
Zoning out – just got finished, now where was I?
Found Money – A savings account I had forgotten about for 5 years found me instead and made more in interest last year than double the average senior level hotel/resort/restaurant worker in the Philippines for a year.
Diving – I cant do it until these holes in my head heal. Hope they’re not getting infected.
Gaza – see? Told ya those dumbasses would keep firing rockets if Israel stopped blowing them back to hell.
Alcohol – going to log off and get my drink on. Now.

You just gotta love it when a lost savings account finds you! Wish that bullshit would happen to me. I’m not that lucky. I also wish I could get my drink on. Now…. so fuck you for being able to do that too. I need a vacation.
