Round the corner…
That’s kind of what everything feels like at the moment - I don’t have enough time in the day yet everything I’m waiting for is round the corner - there’s time to wait towards the next steps of being a healthy monkey again, moving in to the place, girl, winning the world cup etc - just wait - it’s in motion - they’ll come in time - yet I don’t seem to have any of that on a daily basis - time…
I’m losing touch with too many people these days - make the time I guess - but up at 6am and a day winding down come 8pm - that next two or three hours you wanna loaf a bit, blog a little, drink a tipple, get some food cooking, read a touch, burn that tune, watch that film, make that call, write that mail, meet that girl, sort that bill, fill in that form, place a bet, try to get set up to develop all those god damn photo’s, say hi to your folks, jump in the shower, quick cuppa, piece of toast, get your shit together for the next day and close your eyes and dream of Kylie in the cake factory....
Life doesn’t really move that fast - it just doesn’t give you the time somedays.
That’s what Thailand on the 27th will be about I think - taking the time out life offers you every once in a while - although right this minute I’d still like to take the money for the ticket back rather than actually go - especially when nothing was planned further than the arrival date - ”lackadaisical loafers rolling up in Bangkok and expecting shit to just sort itself out as we went along” was the initial plan - but after a bit of investigation we realised a more organised approach was required - internal flights were all selling out pretty quick and hotels, buses and ferries were preaching the limited vacancies sermon - some of it legit, some of it bullshit, to be sure - but flying halfway round the world for such a short time, we needed a better plan than just turning up - now all is in hand and things are looking up - (though it has to be said that if a woman was involved in this planning it would of been looking up a hell of a lot sooner)
I’d still take the money over the ticket right now - too many sensible things it would be better spent on - but then again, right now I don’t know what a full moon style New Years beach party with 20’000 other people on the sandy shores of Koh Phangan feels like - after the event, chances are I won’t be asking for my money back from what I’ve heard.
If all goes califragalistically it will probably all go too quickly as well - but I’ll be sure to savour it while it burns - I’ll do my level best to stay awake as long as possible, take some shots to trance you and come back with some tales of mis-adventure to humour you.
However, if it all goes wrong and I end up broken, lost and penniless and then somehow end up in some Butt-clenching pit of roach infested hell Thai Jail looking at eternity in suffering - then be assured I didn’t do it - it wasn’t me - it was all a set up and break me out A-team style as soon as possible - there’s too much round the corner I’ve not had time to not have time for.
