Back at it....

So after a couple weeks without writing, I thought I should really get at it again. I really have no idea what I am going to write about, or why I want to do this...All I know is that I had a lot of fun doing it while I was traveling, so why stop. I really enjoyed putting my thoughts on paper, even if no one was reading.

What I did discover when I got home is that a LOT of people actually read my thoughts. It seems like everywhere I went, people complimented me on the blog, and told me they enjoyed my pics/stories.

So lets start with the re-education of Marty...The re-entrance back into 'normal' living. It's never easy to come home from a trip, and accept life the way it is 'meant' to be. After you see new cultures, and how simple people around the world live, I find it hard to understand how regulated our lives are. There are pros and cons to it all, but goddammit...how do Canadians live with all of these rules in society.

But you don't want to hear about that. It will basically turn into a 2 page diatribe on me bitching about traffic, taxes, and 'the man'. And because this is the first post, I would like to keep it pretty positive.

Bullshit...

Some random comments from the last week or so back in civilization:
- I think I need to start taking my camera with me everywhere I go, because I saw the nicest ass I have ever seen on Sat. night. Ok, maybe not the best, but it was top 5. I was in a hockey tournament during the weekend, and one of the teams we played had a fire and ice girl on it, and in the bar afterwords, she was wearing lulu lemon pants that made her ass look like 2 mounds of joy. WOW!
- I miss bartering. Not being able to haggle over the price of my Grande Mocha pisses me off...
- Beer is $6 for a pint. I spent 2 months drinking 600mls for $2. To look positively on it, at least its not American beer!
- Is it a personality disorder to feel strange 'fitting in'? I think I enjoy being in a place where I don't know the language/culture better than being here where I am just another person. Its not that I like sticking out...Its that I like being different. I dunno...maybe I am just fucked.
- My camera is taking 6-8 weeks to get fixed. When I took it in, they said 'Yeah, its the humidity in Asia! That place is a camera killer!'. Wow, thanks for telling me that when I bought it and specifically asked 'It will last in Asia, right?'. Pieces of shit!

Alright...So Enjoy my blog. I am going to try to get to it a couple times a week. Another thing I discovered while traveling is that I like taking pics, so maybe I will just post some oldies that I have taken over the past 5 years. Possibly write some of my favorite stories from the past. Some long, some short....

Lets have some fun with this!
