This happened as we were getting pulled over by the Manila traffic dudes for supposedly running a red light. They were gonna shake the people down for a lot more but I guess it came down to 100 pesos when I stepped out of the truck. I was getting pissed and that’s when I felt [...]

Just a quick note. My leg looks like it was shot with a .22 pistol and got infected. Hell, it happened when I was 19 or 20, got shot with a .22 and didn’t know it till later. Now its infected and swollen but the Doc says it’ll be fine and to stop walking on [...]

I’m back in Manila after a long bus ride and its been raining this afternoon. I was hanging out with some local friends and finally broke down to eat with my fingers….something I swore I would never do. These people are just way too cool and fun to be around. Lunch was BBQ whole fish, [...]

I asked why there were so many police check points along one section of road. The answer: New Peoples Army. Yup, the NPA was in the mountains to my left. The person described them as revolutionaries that went after corrupt government officials and business leaders. I’m not sure what I should read into that. They [...]

There is certainly a difference between deluxe and the cheaper first class buses of Partas lines. Perhaps its’ due to the time of day, but first class is a step above chaos, a small step. Its not the bus itself but the operations and atmosphere. The deluxe was P805 for a 7 hour trip from [...]

I got a wild hair up my ass and headed to Manila. I don’t really remember much about it but they said I arrived around 7pm. Audie invited me to stay with him in the Manila townhouse where we partied with B1, M, J1, G, S, J2, A, C, B2, and some girl that cant [...]

Doris Gwendolyn Tate (16 January 1924 – 10 July 1992) was the mother of Sharon Tate. Sharon was the preggers chic that they killed at the house. It was this wealthy murder (and the bloody writing on the wall) that made the Manson Family stand out. Anyhoo…’Tex’ went to jail for this and managed to [...]

I swear, I must have a new tapeworm because I’m friggin starving! No joke, I am hungry as hell and I NEVER get hungry. I like to eat….a lot. I enjoy it possibly more than sex. I mean, I reaaaaaly like to eat. I can eat a lot at a single sitting but don’t usually [...]

B33920 is the inmate number of Charles Manson at California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He was denied parole last May and will not be eligible for another hearing until 2012 – at the age of 78. C’mon people, let the man out already! I’m going to chop up some more of you mother-fuckers. I’m [...]

All I had time for was this grainy pic just after the large Tokay gecko ate the smaller “ta-ka” gecko (according to how several people are pronouncing the small ones.) That would explain all the missing tails. Geckos eating geckos on Boracay – guess I learn something new every day.

I don’t really remember when I started but it was around 04:30 when I woke up and left for Isla Baila, which is still closed for construction, which is OK because I had a tab there. So heck, now I’m just gonna have to bar-hop my way down the beach to all those tiny hotel [...]

Today, July 1st, 2008 marks my one year anniversary on Boracay. I had parted ways with Iraq and The Company in mid June 2007. No more contractor for me. They gave me a ticket going to Texas by the most lengthy and impossible route imaginable. I had no intention of going back to the USA. [...]

Illness and food poisoning will not stop this meat-eater from getting some good chow. I finally hobbled my way to BudgetMart last night for some real food. Monterey Meats changed companies and phone numbers to “Carne Bora” , but not employees, so I couldn’t get anything delivered here. 21:30: I point at the huge hunk [...]
