A Hashless Monday

Now what am I gonna talk about?

My final complimentary breakfast at Go Resort. Yesterday was also the last day of my “I don’t give a fuck” diet. Today, I’m back to being responsible. More or less.

Got home and did some blogging, and then it was back to Barretto to join in the Hash aftermath fun.

It Doesn’t Matter where I was; it’s good to be home again!

And that was that.

Some things I am remembering today.

In April 2017, I wrote a readers’ submission for the Stickman Bangkok website, telling the story of my broken heart and how I had developed A Brand New Plan. Needless to say, things didn’t go according to that plan. I hope love is worth the potential pain.

Then, in August 2020, I wrote a post here at LTG called, Keep The Change, which proved to be a milestone on the road that led me to where I am today. Let’s hope I never forget those lessons!

I’ll be visiting Angeles City the weekend after next, so today’s YouTube video presented information on areas I might best avoid during my stay. Well, I’m not big on the Walking Street (now called Red Street) go-go bar scene, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants closer to my hotel (The Boomerang) anyway.

Things that appeal to my low standards of humor:

I see what you did there
Dig deeper, Mr. Jones
Yep, getting old stinks, but it sounds good to be alive

Time to get on with today. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow.

  1. My final complimentary breakfast at Go Resort.

    Looks good and carby if a bit meager. Then again, it is complimentary.

    so today’s YouTube video presented information on areas I might best avoid during my stay.

    I watched less than a minute before I had to turn the video off. Couldn’t stand the guy’s poor editing, his voice, and his presentation style.

    Yep, getting old stinks, but it sounds good to be alive

    Damn, I’m already farty like that.

    Welcome back home. And now: forward to a stricter diet! Will you be in “don’t give a fuck” mode for your next trip (coming up soon)? You don’t want to do that too often. A few days in a row of misbehavior (as opposed to a single cheat day) = don’t go off the chain for two months. I know what you’ll say, though: “No promises.” That’s your usual back door when there’s an opportunity to make an actual effort. Sit down and seriously learn the grammar? “No promises.” Work on the diet? “No promises.” Cut down on the drinking? “No promises.” Sigh…

    Well, good luck.

  2. Looks like pretty good long weekend trip. A change of scenery is always nice to recharge things.

    In general, relationships are tough. As has been said, “In relationships, guys think their girl will never change… but girls think they’ll be able to change their guy. The funny part is, the guy never changes, and the girl changes way more than anyone ever expected!”

    As long as Swan is happy and knows what the max level of your relationship will be, I guess all is good. I am assuming she is aware of your current marital status? If not, she deserves to know.

  3. Brian, yeah, acceptance of what is works out much better than imposing change. Swan understands my situation and seems okay with it. I’m going to help build a small house on a lot she is buying so she’ll always have a place to live after I’m gone.

  4. Kev, sorry about that sucky video. The only part of interest to me was identifying the danger zones, but you had to suffer through five minutes of cringe to get there. I should have warned my readers!

    I took the diet vacation so I could enjoy the time away from home and not worry about what to eat. My long weekend in AC shouldn’t be a problem, and my intention is to stick with the diet plan. No promises! 🙂
