Hello Loyal Loose-rs,
I just climbed out of an opium den in Cambodia and boy are my arms tired. Just kidding. For those of you that don’t know by now.. Surprise! I’m home. As in the United States of America home.
When I last signed off, I had just finished up a wonderful month in [...]

Testing 1.. 2… Sibilance. Sibilance.. Hello, North America.. Come in, North America.. Can you read me??
Been a long time, huh? When I last wrote, I was still choking on the exasperation from my experience in Burma. Yes, I’ve gotten a hold of myself. And, no, I haven’t fallen into a vat of coconut curry or [...]
The Perfect Storm

Hey everybody. I left Burma last night. I’m writing from Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand, a short one hour flight but what feels like galaxies away from the decay, sadness and frustration of Burma. While I’ve been dealing with a serious case of culture shock twinged with guilt after leaving (something I heard [...]

On the off chance that any of you didn’t get the email I sent two days ago, I’ve decided to post it here. Take a look. ————————————————————————————-
Hello everyone,

Hey all. Sorry for the scare. I’m still in Myanmar but was nowhere near the areas hit by the cyclone. I didn’t even know anything major had happened until 3 days ago - thanks to the lack of information flow from the government. I’ll write tons more when I leave in a week or two. Thanks [...]

Yo yo yo. I made it to Thailand. And there’s not a single person wearing a thai. I call bullshit. If you’re scratching your head at the title of this post, go rent Caddyshack. You’ll thank me.
After three days in Nueva York eating cheese with my cousin Ed and fiance Landis in Brooklyn and cheese-covered [...]

When I was leaving Sadhana Forest, one of the other volunteers reacted when I told him I was heading to Kolkata next. “Why would you want to go there?” I heard it many times and was always surprised at the question. While the palm trees and warm breezes were wonderful, I couldn’t wait to get [...]
Krishnamurti and Brass Knuckles

After relaxing in the magical hippie goodness of Auroville and Sadhana Forest for two weeks, I was anxious to get moving again. I’d spent the last two months (almost all of my time in India) in the warm, colorful and relatively sane southern half of the country, nearly 3 weeks of that with Western tourists [...]
Lust

That’s the title of this photo. I didn’t take it, nor did I label it. But I do support the idea. After chips and salsa, this is what I miss most about home, specifically San Francisco. But ‘miss’ is a lame word. Lust is much better. The morning bun at Tartine bakery on Guerrero St. [...]
