Since everything has changed I am now jumping in dark waters head first.
The only thing I can rely on is that I have a friend that will put me on life support for a while. And mend what has been broken.
I got to Kamala late at night. Checked in and had a fantastic shower. The room is great. Big. A bit run down if you wanna get picky but I'm used to worse. This is Thailand after all.
I got picked up by a friend and we headed out for food, drinks and a catch up.
I got told that there is a rumor going around about how I stopped working at the school in Kamala. You know when you get that mad that you feel it bubbling up from your toes...that's how mad I got. As I loved that job. And the kids loved me. As did my coworkers. So I do not understand why a certain person would go and tell an outright lie as to why I stopped. The reason I got told was that the school no longer could pay my salary so I got three weeks to find another job.
Never mind that I had a house and bills. And two kids to feed.
I both love and hate this village. People should stop making shit up and mind their fucking business. Some people here just thrives on spreading lies and rumors.
GET A LIFE!!!!
Anyway, I had a great first night. A quite one but that's ok. I'd been up for 34 hours.
Next day I slept in. Got my bike around lunchtime and then drove to patong with Lena and the Beatle. Did errands and had a late lunch. I love patong. I just love it. The hustle and the people. I can't describe it, most people get annoyed and tired of it. It makes me smile.
I got great news yesterday. Nong Jack is in town. I didn't think I'd see him as he moved back to Bangkok early this year.
Jack is my tattoo artist. So now I gotta take this opportunity and get inked. I know what I want I just don't have the money for it.
Sucks getting ripped off with money, or fucked over is a better word.
Jack loves me so I'm sure we can work something out.
Tonight Dylan's club is having a grand opening so he invited me. So looks like an all nighter in Patong.
Leaving you with some pictures and thoughts of today. Thought a lot when I did my beach walk this morning. Such a good way to clear my head and think.
If only life was just a dress rehearsal and we had time for do-overs. We’d be able to practice and practice every moment until we got it right. Unfortunately, everyday of our lives is its own performance. It seems like even when we get the chance to rehearse and prepare and practice, we’re still never ready for life’s grand moments.
