Work

I got it. Starting tomorrow. Wednesday. I have to wear a tie. 

After having lived in Hawai'i, some of you might be able to guess where my mind is at at that thought. A tie. My god, how life turns. An

d yes, I own several ties... at least as of tonight. For those of you that have never been to Hawai'i, I once went to teach school in cut off shorts and a white tee shirt and no one said anything. 

Note the pic to the right, that is the area where I will be at.

Nontaburi. That is where I will be working. I have been told that it is one of the best schools in Thailand. We shall see. I must say that before the demonstration lesson I had to give, I did see one of the teachers telling the students to stop what they were doing in English. Yelling, "Stop, Stop." And this is with the science and math department, not the English department. Hope they realize that they have a crazy social scientist on their hands... if not, I am willing to bet they will figure it out quickly.

 

From Sol to Soul

seen this?

or this?

or these?

big picture is prolly my new favorite blog.  it may take a while to load, and some of the posts are boring, but when  they are worth the time they are sure worth the time.

An invite... and about where I am...

I have Invited a new blogger to the post... I have known this person for most of my life. I both respect and admire him... so treat him with all of the disgust and hate that you would normally reserve for me.

As for Thailand... I do not have that much sought after work yet. I say yet, because I do have two different job offers. I have told the second place I have interviewed with that I must fulfill my obligation to go to the second interview with the company I interviewed with first before I can make any decision. They both pay the same. It is not quite what I was hoping for, but it is close. I did very much like the boss and the other people at the second agency. And I know that they like me in the same manner due to the fact that the boss of that agency could not wait to find out how I felt about the second interview at the first agency... which had to be postponed until monday. 

As for the reason I have come to Thailand this time for a little while, no, I have not found the "bride of frankenstein" (as my beautiful sister michelle calls her) ... yet. I have found someone I do like, but she has said that I cannot put the picture up that I have of her because she thinks that she does not look good in that photo. I, however, think that she looks beautiful in that pic... as that I am a respectful man, I heed the will of this women, whose name is ling.
 

One thing for you all to think about, in America I was a medium to small man, small especially compared to Hawaiians. In the land of smiles, I am a medium to large man, at least compared with the Thai men. Because of my years swimming, and my developed shoulders due to that, they seem to think that I am a boxer here. So be it. Makes me feel good. Regardless of my actual size, the Hawaiian kids always said that I was "murf" (buff). Now, the Thai's seem to think the same... so maybe it is true... comments?

can find it at youtube under "wassup".

Bangkok sun rise

The first day of a new adventure. Coming from Maui, Hawai'i, I wondered how this time in Bangkok would be.  No, this is not my first time here. this time I have chosen to come for a little while though. I have faith that there are certain things that tell a person that they are in the correct place at the right time in their life. This picture is evident to me that the decision was spot on. For I have not seen a rise like this before, nor since.... this was first morning.
