Flipping the bird, no thanks!

There something so efficient about thailand disorganization. The ways of driving on the side of the road, passing with oncoming cars. Road is wide enough for 3 cars and might aswell use it. Small things like that that makes the country move forward in its own way. It's no coincidence or supreme act, it's a way of common sense that we've lost in the western country because of the heavy laws, rules and obligation. Some might call it non sense free for all jungle but if you pay attention no one flips the bird, there's no aggressivity and there's respect. As every one makes there way on the roads, bikes, push bikes, carts, van, cars, falling apart pick up, trucks older then could be, traffic goes on and no ones honk because someone is going slow, no they just pass on the left or the right. Why get all frustrated? There's no point cause it brings bad karma.

Pour un bref instant

Le bus se met en mouvement, je regarde par la fenêtre sans porter trop d'importance à ce qui se passe à l'extérieur mais plutôt à divaguer dans mes pensées en écoutant Miike Snow. Je pense à Koh Chang, les gens extraordinaires que j'ai rencontrés, le triangle amoureux à la télé est certainement divertissant aussi, carrière: j'aimerais vraiment travailler pour Al-Jaz un jour, je me demande comment vont mes amis, j'aimerais bien avoir une soupe en ce moment et soudainement, l'instant d'une pensée, je me suis senti à ma place. Dans un bus, en Thailande, tout était parfait!

J'ai bien l'impression que c'est pour ce genre de moment qu'on vit. Un genre de moment absolu, très souvent vécu lors d'un couché de soleil avec sa tendre moitié mais peut être autrement aussi!

Back to Thailand

I'd like to write something interesting right now but unfortunately I feel deprived of inspiration. A situation that has been going on for a couple of months now and that is not normal for me. It certainly create distress but things are going along everyday without worries.

I've been in Thailand for two weeks now. I spent a day an a half in Bangkok to have my Indian visa done to be able to participate on this amazing expedition with Infinity. I'm actually quite happy to be going back on the boat for another dive adventure that will be leaving in two weeks.

In the mean time, I've decided to take it easy. I'm still a little bit fragile and I've prescribed to myself: books, beach, sun and Banana shakes. Should do the job I thought. Well 10 days later I can sure say it's good. I'm certainly in a better position then before but still a long road ahead.

Therefore, books, beach, sun and shakes aren't creating a lot of blog worthy stories. But here how it goes: I wake up around 8, shower, walk next door to this really cool restaurant called Café Del Sunshine, have a banana shake, talk with this cool guy that has a long life story, it's almost 11, check on my travel buddy, usually still sleeping, read, travel buddy wakes up, time for another shake and a spicy papaya salad, half past one, read more, fall asleep in the hammock, 3 ish, time to go to the beach, spend two hour at the beach, admire the sunset, slowly walk back to the hostel, shower, check Facebook, sevenish, go for a drink, 8, time to eat, hummm Pad thai, almost 10, go enjoy the live show, midnight, go dance a bit, one it's time to go to bed. Repeat next day.

So yes it's going well and I'm enjoy the days that are going by. Life is good and I'm fortunate enough to be in Thailand. Postcards are coming!

I guess I could say like Gerry Boulet sang in is song Toujours vivant

Je suis celui qui lutte

Quand la vie le culbute

Je retombe sur mes bottes

Les pieds dans la garnotte

Je suis Toujours debout

Je suis celui qui va jusqu'au bout

In my ear:

• Ratatat
  9 beats (Unreleased album)
• The Steeldrivers
  The Steeldrives
• Jill Barber
  Mischievous moon
• Miike Snow
  Happy to you

What's next...

What's next?
Good question
I don't know

Funny, that's the name of my blog
Used to have an answer to that question

What?
Sun rise at West?
I've lost my bearings
Sun set at East
Pretty sure I did loose them

Go to sleep, wake up
Sun still rises at West
What the fuck
Go to bed again
Sun rise somewhere in between
Doesn't make sense
Drink... doesn't do anything
Sleep daytime... doesn't work either
Do construction work at my friend's... I think of her
Go walk the dog... fuck, didn't bring a poo bag... even worst

What's going on...
Oh yah my bearings
Still don't understand
Compass like Jack Sparrow?

Sadness?
You're telling me that's the deal with a broken heart
Love sick.. no cure!
Well I guess I am sad
Have I cried?
Of course I did
Shit, I did cry, made a fool of myself
Rough? of course it's rough
Couldn't even ask for a coffee on the plane

Can't you see the freezer in my hand
That's all the pieces of my heart
Hopefully the doctors know what to do
They don't? What do you mean?
Well they don't
Fuck

What am I supposed to do?
Let time go by
Seriously funny... not joking?
Don't have time to waste
What do you mean get over it if you don't have time to waste
Don't want to get over it.
You're young... still have time
True... still doesn't mean I want to loose time

Sun still rises at West
Nonsense
Still don't know what to do

Get back on the road
Good idea

Find a boat to cross the Pacifc
Even better

Do crazy stuff
That's the spirit

Five W
Will see

Door still open
Absolutely
Fool
Yes
Life goes on
Apparently

What's next
Still don't know
