RIP George Carlin – He got it at least.

When I came here to Thailand I promised myself I’d eat whatever was put in front of me, tonight I followed through on that promise. I’ve been eating nightly in a soup place, restaurant is a tough definition here. The cook had fed me the last two nights and I’d praised her soup, tonight she [...]

Ok, I know you want to hear about the girls here. For the most part they are like girls everywhere, some pretty, vain, well dressed, pale(skin whitening is common here) and unobtainable, which is good cause I’m not interested either. Others are plain, sweet, friendly, which is the bulk of the girls her. There are [...]

Freedom of Speech is not a one way street. I found this story to be very inspiring, and hopefully others in and around the members of what one could arguable call a “cult”, take a cue from this and see just how easy it is to shut down these hateful people.
“A man in the wrong [...]

BUDGET, HAHA, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING! I guess like anywhere budgeting is a balance between bookkeeping and magic, here it’s more so as I found out. When the dominoes all fall over and you have less than nothing, even next month is eaten into you gotta rethink your ‘budget’. Next month I’m taking all [...]

From the Declaration of Independence, for the future United States of America.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature [...]

I’m baaaaack. I had a change of luck for a change, a small donation from a relative and I was off to the Thai border to get legal, what a hassle. I left Chiang Mai on a bus and didn’t get to the border till after it closed. I rented a room with two types [...]

It was a hell of a weekend at sea, Captain! Hi folks…Reel Rhino here…what a great weekend for te box office. Yes, Cars 2 brought in $68 million to talk the title, but how about that Bad Teacher?!? $31 million for a hard-R adult flick…that’s not too shabby! Green Lanterns is only at $89 million [...]

I have been unsucessfull soliciting money. Though I’ve helped hundreds with car and house payments, groceries and money, I’ve only had one young girl actually put $ 20 into my bank account and unfortunately it was eaten up by overdraft charges. I have no idea where my funds went, I had $.13 five days ago [...]

Sorry I have been spotty on my posts, but I have had all hell breaking loose in my life. Things are good, but I have been balls to the wall busy. This post covers my milestone which I hit last week…enjoy the read and I hope to resume regular posts again very soon…RR
It started out [...]

From the Caravaggio Vault.
Here is a post that I felt was somewhat atypical for this blog community. It deals with a subject that causes very strong, polarized reactions. That is to say it deals with the issue of Animal Welfare and Rights. This issue is one that I’ve spent countless hours in [...]

NPR did a cover story today about how there is a serious amount of tension inside of NATO. The gist of the entire exchange is that America is finally calling out the other members of NATO on spending and shouldering the burden of technology, troops, weapons etc. It turns out that the USA is now covering [...]

In yesterday’s exciting episode I revealed that I needed to go to Myanmar(Burma) to get a visa, my 30 day tourist visa expires on the 26th, maybe the 25th. I was pretty sure yesterday, after finding that I only had 13 cents in my bank account, that things couldn’t stay this bad, I was [...]

The game is afoot! Within the next four days I need to get to Burma or Laos and get a visa. Pretty easy, get on a bus, go to the border and cross, come back across in an hour or so, get stamped and you’re gold for fifteen days! I apparently miscalculated something somewhere though, [...]

Sundays there is a street market in the old walled city part of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Last night I walked the whole market, it took me two hours and went down three streets, several alleys, and various plazas and wats(temple parking areas). I was amazed at the variety of items sold, clothing to sushi, stone [...]
