Back playing poker again & I'm not particularly profitable so I think it's safe to say the vicissitudes of fortune are here for this guy. It sucks.
Wrapping up in Saigon for now. Heading to Osaka for a few months to pull a fugu/tsukemen bang-bang, drink Suntory Premiums with the best of them, & spend some measly alt gains on three minutes of heaven with a third-tier Japanese pornstar (learning how to apologize in Japanese).
Sad my 3 months in Japan is coming to an end. I accept that without any Japanese skills I can't keep hitting cooks w/ 'Oishii' (delicious) and 'Oishii Oishii' (delicious, delicious) to convey that something was very delicious. I did also tell an old man the weather was 'Oishii'.
'Hey Ma' by Cam'ron came on Kyoto - still one of the best nights of my life in uni when my last memory was grinding to 'Hey Ma' while chugging Smirnoff raz & waking up to a text from my father that he was "saddened in my actions," after I lost my credit card, license, & shoes.
Old Vietnamese lady rides her motorbike by my building every day & yells out to me every single time I see her, "You want my number!?" then throws her head back in laughter & speeds off.
Back in Saigon & was talking 2 my apt security guard, he had a mask on, & then I heard him go 'Oooooooh'. Instantly recognized was same guy from 2018/19 when I lived there. I ask, 'You remember me?' He takes one look, eyes get wide, & he goes 'Oooooh, you number 1 boy'. I'm back.
Walking down the street in Bangkok & this 5'1 Indian man with a handlebar mustache looked at me & said, "Where you going Daddy Long Legs?" Which is my new favorite compliment and/or insult.
@DominikWeil Dominik - it's Owen from many years back at the meetups in Saigon - I'll be back in town next week & wanted to see if there are any meetups? I'm having trouble finding info. Cheers and looking forward to a beer/chat.
Had to send a stern email to the restaurant I always order delivery from about them dropping the lamb chop appetizer down from 8 chops to 4. Still no response.
One time when I was in 6th grade and at band camp, I introduced myself to the kid sitting next to me and he said "Get away from me kid, you stink." I hope that kid bought Solana at the top and has now thrown himself off a building.
