Thanks again for the comments. I've added some of them to the site directly. It's really starting to shape up. Any recommendations how to push this out to people? Maybe I could hire some pretties
Also here's the map I drew of the area. What am I missing? Too confusing? I know I'm missing a lot of the clubs but I'll get to them soon enough.
Feel free to leave your comments on the site directly. Cheers and happy clubbin' Mike PS Anyone know when Escudo will reopen?
Finally put my money where my mouth is and crammed all my sarcasm and crankiness into an easy to read bar review site for Ekamai Thonglor. This is a personal project and is entirely non-profit.

I welcome any comments and hope you'll share this with your friends! Cheers!
not as colorful as i'd like it to be and i'm sure it'll draw criticism but hey...you got comments...i'm listening...
http://edate.blogspot.com/ Ciao... BTW, anyone for coffee?
Why is it that when someone has a change of heart all of the sudden they just stop talking to you. I mean...they won't accept your calls...won't respond to your SMS... So "my friend" connected with someone online. They exchanged IDs with the idea of chatting. A couple of times they connected online and had some decent conversations. Everything seemed pretty good...then all of the sudden...nothing. This seems to be a recurring theme in Thailand. Basically if you no longer like someone then
I"m bored out of my skull so I thought I'd try an experiment...I"m gonna try to write a song as I sit here and keep you posted along the way... Ok...I've got a good lick going with the guitar. Hard to imagine I know but trust me it's a good one . I think the chorus is ok... even though you crushed my my heart, it broke apartbut I'm still standingeven though you stole my breath, it was just a testcause I'm still standingeven though you made me cry, i could almost diebut I'm still standingI'm no
A young woman was taking an afternoon nap. After she woke up, she told her boyfriend, "I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for Valentine's Day. What do you think it means? ""You'll know tonight" he said.
That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his girlfriend. Delighted, she opened it---only to find a book entitled "The meaning of dreams". About as exciting as my v-day too unfortunately.

Ha...gotcha. What the hell am I still doing up. In KL...trying to find a party...tough gig for a solo man (turns out the kids didn't appreciate it and within the first hour I had parents ushering me out the door). But seriously after several diet cokes at 15 RM each and 3 hours of running the smoke gauntlet I came up empty handed. Maybe I need to join bridge club. Anyway...prior to going to the bar I was eating in a restaurant and 3 farangs were sitting beside me. One guy asks the others "i
Awhile back I went with a friend to nice Italian restaurant. I won't give the name to protect the innocent but I will say it was on Thonglor. As usual we ordered one pasta, one pizza and one salad. So far so good right?!? The pizza arrives and it looks good. I do some prep work with the oregano and parmesan and start to chow down. For some reason I take a second look at the cheese shaker and there is an entire ant colony inside. I don't mean a few ants here and there...I mean there are
Today I was lucky enough to spend an hour and 20 minutes in my car coming home. Normally it takes me 20 minutes but I decided to stay at work a bit later than normal (6 rather than 5:30). Amazing the difference it makes. No more nights like that for me. From now on I'm leaving work at 3.
Really want to go out tonight but unfortunately I don't have a wingman. Where's a good place to go for a solo dude looking for clean fun? Guess I could swing by Q or Bed...
Just came back from my first official teaching engagement at ABAC. Went really well and hopefully this will lead to more lecturing. Although not my day job...it's always been a hobby of mine. Nothing better than corrupting young minds at the source
Gloria Estifan was right...I'm a part-time musician meaning I'm not in it for the money. Problem is it's difficult to find people to jam with that aren't looking for a regular gig. So I realize this is probably a better forum post than a journal entry but who cares... If anyone is interested in jamming (musically that is) once in a while without any sort of commitment (the one night stand of music so to speak) please contact me. I play drums and guitar and can even hum a few notes if necessar
So I got this girl's number at a bar about 5 weeks ago. At the time she seemed really forthcoming and we started sending sms's. Then she invited me to meet up with her at the same bar. I made the mistake of going alone and ended up standing around for about 2 hours. Not something I normally do unless I'm home alone and can take my pants off Within the first 10 minutes I arrived I sent an sms to let her know I was there and she said she was on her way. Well she never showed so I smsed yet
I feel kinda bad that I have no gossip... Then again I don't know anyone on TF to gossip about so maybe you can just endure my drivel instead... Had a run-in with another car the other night. Nothing serious but took some paint off near the back left wheel. Insurance guy ticked some box on the accident assessment form which apparently meant I didn't qualify to have it fixed at Toyota. Figures...I track down the place I'm supposed to go and this looks far worse than any garage I've ever seen
Had an interesting thing happen today while I spent 8 hours at Major Ekamai. I know what you're thinking...what kind of a loser hangs out there for that long. Well MK followed by King Naresuan followed by 6 games of bowling will do that...
Anyway...while heading out of the theater the escalator was packed...I mean really packed. Ever see the escalators at Major Ekamai? I mean the ones in the theater itself? A single escalator must go up about 3 flights. So I get on with my friend in fro
Well it's been a long time since I made a journal entry and so it's about time I did. My parents had been planning on coming to Thailand for some time (only because I'm here) but it kept getting postponed on the basis that my contract here might expire. Well I'm happy to say that about 9 months ago I took the plunge and went from my cushy expat salary to a local "feel the love" package. Actually it's not so bad. As long as I switch to all the cheap brands, limit haircuts to one a year, live
Here's a funny thing that happened to me. Last week I went to JJ market to pick up some of those Thai style pillow - mat combo things. I went for the biggest they had and of course got sold on the "hand made" version meaning I paid a premium to keep a dozen more kids in jobs. I noticed they smelled a lot like the cigar tubes my dad would give me as a kid. Of course he'd obviously smoked the cigars first...but I was allowed to take a whiff of the little cedar shake that was inside the tube.
Every time I scan journals there seems to be more than enough emotional content to even give Disney a run for their money. Mistakes suck and sometimes so does life but you can't tuck your tail and run. My dad gave me a great piece of advice:
"go for the drunk ones...they cost you less and will think your handsome"
but more importantly:
"the only person that can make you happy is you"
Maybe it sounds selfish but it always proves true. When I'm in a funk I need to force myself out of it. Y
Not long ago I was like every other Canadian and would avoid Karaoke bars like a warm toilet seat. My job is such that I spend far too many nights out with customers and in asia this inevitably leads me to either a karaoke club or a hair salon. Seeing as how I can only cut my hair so many times a night I tend to lean towards the former except when I'm drunk in which case I tend to lean on anything I can find.
Long story short...I'm now addicted and anyone trying to take the mic from me might
HOW THE BIRTH ORDER OF YOUR CHILDREN CHANGES THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE:
Your Clothes:
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.
Preparing for the Birth:
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for
Love, Lust and Marriage
Love- When your eyes meet across a crowded room.
Lust- When your tongues meet across a crowded room.
Marriage- When you try to lose your spouse in a crowded room.
Love- When intercourse is called making love.
Lust- When intercourse in called screwing.
Marriage- When intercourse is a little town in Pennsylvania.
Love- When you argue over how many kids to have.
Lust- When you argue over w ho gets the wet spot.
Marriage- When you argue over whose idea it was to have
I've been staring at my computer screen intently for 8 hours now. My eyeballs are screaming. I feel like taking a sharp pencil and working it into the space between my eyeball and socket. Once you break past the seal the pencil will move in with little resistance until it jabs into the optic nerve. Gotta be careful though cause this is dangerouosly close to the brain. Now give the pencil a couple of quick flicks and all pain is gone. Just watch for seepage around the side as this can blur
