Livin?out of a suitcase.

I think that what I would name my tutorial if I had one. And just for mr immazing, i add a parenthetic (wannabe alex chin for one day). If I could muster up some kind of literary wit worthy of publishing and not just blogging, maybe I spend the first essay of the book on the toils of not really having a home and the only familial glue is a cell phone, luggage (primarily the war chest of face wash), and my most recent addition of the laptop. (Which actually was a great investment, totally making me write at every whim. I definitely think its time to get a spare battery)

So let see, I left the states in October 2004 for the reason of running away from my future. Of which I am no longer running (just flat out denied) but still have been living out of ever changing luggage since. 2004 finale was spent with a danny-lax-loaned black Northface hiking backpack, joey pack included. It was stationed in Singapore, but collected dust in Vietnam, Malaysia and luckily missed out on a Thai tsunami. The pack epitomized a globe trekking westerner and continued to represent me finely into the first three quarters of 2005 where I became more of a resident tourist in my Taipei weight loss campaign. We endured a few more trips like the M.I.(n).L.F. Cambodia tour, multiple sh*t brick and urine tours to HK, bottomless pageant girl Macau tour, and fight-w-mom China tour before being returned to its owner, who by then was irritatingly nagging for it. He got it back with a meal at Koi. Jews! Hahaha. no Danny I very grateful. Thank you.

September to December in NY had me living out of an old duffel bag I found in my room that I stationed in Franks room while rekindling my acquaintance with he couch that will christened? It was quite the handy bag due to its size, as it welcomed my sneakers, tshirts and aer/marquee/kunjip/ile into johns trunk?attire. Those were some crazy days and marked the start of my makeshift days. I think when returned to Asia late Dec. I continued to use the black duffel. By then the bag was getting torn up, strap clinging for dear life, yet I still managed to squeeze out a few more months of heavy use before moving onto another loaned, well traversed Oakley backpack. Dual straps gave more comfort but it wasn mine and I was constantly shuffling for a new pack when the owner needed it back. I think I even tried going with a vintage Gucci carry on-esque bag, but even with international hetero-leeway, I wasn willing to use that on a daily basis, especially after he locker room incident?

Kimbo to the rescue. Currently using a Red northface. Commonly known as the pdpsi pledge pack. ept instead of bricks in my bag, I carry toiletries and a change of clothing. It definitely doesn hold enough clothes for a heavy sweating machine, but i somehow made due @ chomos with 1.5 sets of clothes lasting 5 days. Uhhhis post is getting boring. Even if u knew me, u might have trouble finding parallels in the above paragraphs because what started out a potential interesting parallel turned into a muggy mess. I don know what I talking about anymore.

One day I going to get this one LV carry-on. Apparently genes not only determine physical traits, but actual purchases as well. I think three of us have one, to match the LV passport holder of course.



Dumplings and Kelly Clarkson



So I did a lot of walking today and happened to walk by this...Trekked to Mong Kok for my plane ticket. Finally bought a sim card, a bit late knowing my TW phone bill for may is probably gonna be 10000NT. Blegh. For all u new readers that like seeing pictures of new places, scenery, etc. I no longer a tourist, sorry. I don have the urge to be posing next to statues or trekking to see Buddha. If you feel youe missed out on my picture-frenzied posts, just scroll back and read but you might have to request pictures because I didn start using flickr until 2005. Here and there Il still take pictures of food that I haven had, things I haven seen, but overall youe only going to get a steady flow of debaucher-ous stupidity. Which is how we do.
