After 2 years in a lease at Lake Tahoe, USA I'm back to being a nomad. Bali now, October who knows, November Vietnam. December Cambodia+ San Diego, then either Lake Tahoe or Whistler snowboarding for the winter.

CURRENT MISSION

To get back to living this way ==>"I learned early that to make a journey happen, all I really had to do was buy the ticket. Even if I didn't have the rest of the money, there is magic in decision. Just buy the ticket, and all else will fall into place."

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
