A few hours ago I was taking Yoma on a walk around my neighborhood (no leash)...I decided to get a couple beers at 7 and told him to sit and wait outside. He did it, but kept barking up a storm everytime I went inside. Each time I came out he was quiet and waited. Then the manager came out and was like "He can come in, no problem!"
Awesome.
I let him in...he scared the shit out of everyone doing laps around the aisles (mind you, he is 38 kilos). I told everyone that he is friendly and doesn't
Jasmine had her first birthday over this past weekend. We held at a party at the house with friends and families. It was a BBQ turned BeerBQ. There were about 5-6 other half Thai, half farang babies/toddlers rolling around the place, and it was so great to see Jasmine "being social." She cried halfway through her birthday song, but held in there for the rest of the time like a champion.
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. It was one of those days in Thailand that I'll never forget.

A lot of stuff going on with us lately. I've opened up myself to opportunities here and abroad, and things have been happening quickly. I contacted 3 of my most successful friends who are working in industries that interest me, and threw some lines out. Nothing concrete yet, but two have been looking really good. I can't go much into detail about them, but just thinking about it is a strange feeling.
It's hard to think about leaving TH let alone actually doing it. I doubt I'd seriously consider
I've been e-mailing recently with an old high school friend of mine about some interesting stuff. He was always the brilliant yet stubborn friend in our tight circle, and has done incredibly well because of his intelligence and personality.
He sent me along this video, which he calls the foundation for his understanding of the web. Not only does he dream big, he actually implements his dreams into the real and virtual worlds...motivating to say the least. Enjoy the video:
I had a great Fotobook day...huge orders and happy customers. Nice.
All day, however, I couldn't get what happened on Saturday out of my mind. I've been wondering whether or not to publicly share it...Then I realized that I don't keep a lot of shit private, so what the hell...
I went out Friday night to watch Hangover II with some TF'ers, had a blast, and had some beers. I got home early enough, but I was also tired enough at 6:45 AM when Jasmine wanted to practice her face slapping techniques
A few days ago, Jasmine had what might have been a seizure. I'm still not sure. Right before we went to bed, she woke up crying, which is normal. Jeab went to her crib, gasped, and said, "Oh my god, ROB!"
She picked her up, I jumped out of bed, and Jasmine was crying hard. I'll never forget that moment that I looked at her. It was straight out of a horror movie except that it was live, and my daughter was the main character being attacked. Her eyes were rolled up into the back of her head, off
This blog has been coming for a while, and I've been waiting for the right time. Basically, April was one of the top 10 worst months of my life at a time when most people are on top of the world.
I see myself as a person that can roll with the punches...get knocked down, spring back up, and keep life rolling as usual. April beat me down pretty badly. From the small jabs to the knock out uppercuts. I felt everything.
The first thing that caught me off guard was losing my poker business. To make
If you don't know already, 420 is a number related to smoking ganja. At least in the USA, many smokers will make it a point to light up at 4:20 PM.
Thus, 4/20 at 4:20 PM brings a huge cloud of happy smoke across the USA. But do you know the origin of 420? :confused:
Here are some of the possibilities plus fake boobs:
I'm pretty sure that the answer is...
Here is a great documentary that gives a clear explanation as to why Doctor Al Gore is full of it. His basis was that higher CO2 levels cause global warming when history shows that it's exactly the opposite.
Thank god 30,000 scientists, including 9,000 PhD's are getting together to sue Al Gore for fraud.
The oceans account for more than 90% of the world's CO2. When they warm, CO2 gets released. When volcanoes erupt, CO2 gets released. Our planes and cars are mere farts when compared to what m
This kid is pretty good at accents. He screws up a few (german, s. african...Italian was over the top), but I have to tip my hat to the kid.
I can't judge more than half of the British accents, but he was great with the American accents.
I'm sure most of you know about this already, but I had never seen this video. I'm glad that there is someone out there doing his part to expose these scumbags.

Jasmine is entering her "bang on things" stage, so I figured "why not let her bang away on the cello?" As a parent, you find the little things to be amazing. I love following her moods, seeing her smile back when I smile at her, and understanding what her every "word" and movement mean.
She's really progressing at a fast rate now. Soon enough she'll be running around tearing apart the house...
I honestly can't wait for it all, and I'm loving every second at the moment.
