Benjamin and I chasing people with laser beams last night from daniel's18 th fl apt- big change from sleeping on the floor at the hostel. His cute fluffy white kitten is chewing on toes.

Btw idon' t recommend Thai massage on a full stomach -unless your into that kind of thing- in that case it should cost about 10$ or less. For the food and the massage.

I had burma tacked on to the end of my trip but if I can find enough perfectly crisp 100$ bills I may go there in a week or two. I had planned on linear travel --now may do some hoping around as flights are pretty cheap -but first I will go to ajahn buddhadasa's suan moukke monastery south of Bangkok. There's a ten day silent meditation retreat I am looking forward to!

Oh and a one shot poem from the plane:

Metal machine
Chamber o
Milking and crying
Vessel o
Like
Swoosh like
The text on my phone
Lie like a lion
In love on your arm
Lie o lie live
Live a lion on love lie
Sweep
Search and sweep
The crumbs from your eyes
While o while
Some lies and some o's

I really want to have a monk mark my skin, but it doesn't seem so clean?

The nap park hostel in Bangkok is pretty Cush!

wondered around then came back to eat and rest -- I'm in no rush maybe tmrw I will check out these museums

1/22/13 nyc- shanghai- Bangkok

On the plane last night, day, evening what ever the last twenty hrs were? It wasn't so bad except for the almost missing my connection in shanghai. Other than reading a few chapters of Stephen Levine's book "A Year to Live", Sleeping, watching Nick Cage on the small screen and thinking about Werner Herzog 's version and an old flick called something like"Zelda Le" Cage was a painter obsessed w a married women they did it on a washing machine... Spin cycle--
Oh yeah the plane I made some of my first ipad drawings -

1/21/13. 666 the number of the beast was playing and I packing - my gratitude for the day

Came from the lyrics to Iron Maiden's "prisoner".

"Not a prisoner, i'm a free man,
& my blood is my own now.
Don't care where the past was,
I know where i'm going.

Live my life where i want to.
You'd better scratch me from your black book"

Goodbye apartment see you in six months ish.
I'm just learning this ipad lots of amazing sketch books journals and so on I'm experimenting with several apps ...also I need to keep this immediate and fun for me so please understand if there's some sloppiness and typos etc....
I can be impulsive and impatient and not the best at censoring my self--- so here goes - some side way pictures of the apartment I just left behind.
