I Miss My Uniform (Sometimes)

I joined the Army for many reasons, see the world, travel, adventure, be all that I can be. But one reason I chose the Army was for the uniforms. Uniforms were cool. They looked good, they are functional, they identify you as part of a team, and when I was younger, the girls loved them. Now I don't wear a uniform as such. I wear shorts and sandals because it's so hot here so I guess that is my uniform.

When I used to come to Thailand as part of my duty. I go to travel Thailand and stay in Thailand hotels. I used to worry I would lose my uniforms staying in Thailand hotels because they were very popular with the Thai people. The Thai soldiers would often come to my hotel in Thailand and want to trade or me just give them my uniform. But mine was always too big. They wanted boots but I wear size 12 and they wanted size 8. I thought they just love the uniforms but later I found out traveling around Thailand you can find Americna military uniforms on sale most anywhere. Many still had on the name tags of its former owner.

So alas those days are gone now so I make new adventures. My uniform has changed but I think we all wear a type of uniform no matter what. Aloha and mahalo.

Finally Found it

As I have told you in the past I have been searching for a business I can do internationally and be mobile while doing it. I business can make enough to have a good life and do some other good things for people in my life. I have no desire to teach spoiled rich kids for the rest of my life. I love kids but I wasn't meant to be their teacher. They say you shoud do the thing you do the best. Kids love playing and having fun with me and me too but in a discipline situation in a classroom we don't get alone at all. I was in special operations which is unconventional and does things outside of the box but we still had to be disciplined and responsible. So I am highly motivated to find this good business. I grabbed some big hyped big promise programs but if anybody is getting rich its only the seller. You know what I mean. Talking a good talk but not producing. I got a bit skeptical and was almost ready to give up but as I said I am motivated. I want a business, can work at home, using internet, using websites and marketing and working with a good team but also working alone. Alas, I have found it. A company that gives you not just a website but a business, has support, has tutorials, has a track record, is transparent, they over deliver instead of making empty promises. They give instructions but are more like guidelines thus allowing you to be yourseld and actually encourage it but discourages the used car sales and furniture sales techniquess. They give hope but are realistic. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Any business of value is going to take an investment of time and money. but if you have the motivation and the brain you can succeed and excell. I have found for me and if you are interested please take a few minutes and go on a quick tour here

Siam Coffee

Ah the smell of coffee brewing. It's one of the best aromas in the world. I love walking into a Starbucks and smelling the different coffees. Don't you love that smell too. Don't it make you want a nice cup of exquisite coffee in your home. I am a Coffee Lover from way back. As long as I can remember I have been enjoying a good cup of coffee, anytime day or night. When I first came here to Thailand it was hard to find coffee. I had to go to 7 Eleven and make a cup of Nescafe. It was OK but the cups were small so I had to make many trips. Then on one of my trips to Thailand when I was still in the Army I was amazed to see a Starbucks, and very happy too. Starbucks is expensive but is great. I lived in the Seattle/Tacoma area for 4 years so I was very well acquainted with Starbucks and several other coffee shops. I got used to latte's and such. I was addicted to Egg Nog Latte's during the holidays. Now, I am happy to report, there are many coffee shops around Thailand. Not just starbucks but also Black Canyon, Blue Mountain and many little stands like were prevalent in Washington. As coffee has caught on here many Thai's are drinking it but what is also popular here is ice coffee and ice coffee drinks. Happy Coffee drinking.

P.S. Don't forget Valentine's Day, it's coming soon

Yo Pittsburg Steelers

Congratulations to the Pittsburg Steelers. It was a Great Superbowl. They desrved the Victory. Big Ben didn't look like a second year player. He is definitely a leader. I like the Seattle Seahawks but today was game day and they were all nerves or something. They most definitely had their chances and it's hard to overcome making mistakes at critical times. It took a lot to get there but today was the Steelers day. Good to see the Rolling Stones still rocking. Mahalo Seahawks, Steelers, Detroit, ESPN and the NFL. Aloha for now.

Super Sunday

Super Sunday will be here soon, oh yeah, I am in Thailand so it's actually Super Monday Morning. No pizza and beer here during the game. It's coffee and pastried. The Superbowl comes on here live, direct from Detroit, Michigan about 6am in the morning. But at least I get to watch it. I would like to say my congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks. Finally they are in the Superbowl. They have had some good and exciting teams but have always been the bridesmaid and never the bride. I was happy when they went to the NFC. They used to give the Raiders headaches. I was stationed in Olympia, Washingtong at Fort Lewis for 4 years and got to go seem some games at the now destroyed Kingdome. I also saw Nolan Ryan pitch his last game there when he was with the Texas Rangers and was playing the Seattle Mariners. The Superbowl should be exciting. Both teams have good offenses. I am rooting for the Seattle Seahawks because it is their first and took a long time to get there. The Pittsburg Steelers are an excellent team too. Big Ben is going to keep them in contention a long time. I don't know if it's another dynasty for the Pittsburg Steelers but Ben has a lot of years to go and Coach Cower is still young and has been able to stay in one place for a long time. I have a lot of faith it will be another exciting offensive game and not a one sided blowout. If you are a fan of either Seattle Seahawks or Pittsburg Steelers I hope your team wins.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching again. Here in Thailand they recognize Valentine's Day but it is more like how we did in elementary school. Everybody is your Valentine and everybody wants a gift from you. Their special day here is Loy Khrathong Day. It is in November during the full moon. During this day couples float "Loy" a Khratnong together. A Khrathong is lotus flowers and candles on a platform that will float. They float them together and if they stay together in the water, so will the couple. I have a special someone that I have had the fortune of being with for 5 years and we have had 5 Valentine Days together. We have survived the cultural and language challenges together and we are still going stong. We have been together since the first day I came to live in Thailand. We have had our ups and downs but I have most definitely found my soulmate. We have our love, romance, and companionship. We originally met via the internet so anything is possible and does happen all the time.

Don't fret if you are alone during Valentine's Day, There are things you can do to find your soulmate. In today's world we are all very busy and maybe dont't have time to search for someone to share our lives, our love, our experiences and our thoughts. But there are other people the same as you needing someone too. You just need to have a way to find each other when you are separated by time and space. If you have someone please remember them on Valentine's Day, with gifts, flowers, and special day or evening or just a hug, kiss and a sincere, "I love you". And hopefully in return you will hear the word, "ditto". Good Luck in Life and Love.
