Tuesday night. Sitting at the rice paddy club having a glass of wine and waiting for my BBQ chicken pizza to arrive. I just had to get out of the shala after the shitstorm that was the last 36 hours. Red fucking Fire ants begone. The waiter asked me if...Read More

Tuesday evening. Just got back from a double trip to the medical clinic and laundry facility. Why? Because I literally got attacked by red fire ants today. Seriously. This is so real. I went out for my cigarette this morning and had to stand in a different place due to...Read More

Tuesday morning. Rain, rain, rain all day, rain all night. I am the Dragon. The Dragon brings the rain. Here is the rain. Here I am. Taking space from the group. It’s like… now that I’ve seen most of them for who they really are, I don’t even want to...Read More

Monday afternoon. What a day! We started off strong and then tapered off at the end. Allow me to explain… I did not have another nightmare last night, so I woke up ready to fly. I came straight out my cave, turned and looked at the imaginary figure of Andrew...Read More

Later that day… Returned to class for Aerial Restorative Yoga. That was the vibe I needed today. 100%. I’m already full of fire and intense energy. We need to bring it down. I didn’t appreciate the teacher though. She was like, “You just have to push through your emotions.” And...Read More

Later that morning… Currently sitting by the pool in Cozy Blanket Ghost mode. I walked out of the Aerial class earlier and just didn’t go back after breakfast. Typical me. I finally get a little bit of lift off and then I just end up crash landing again. Fucking dumpster...Read More
