Oh, hey

That's just the way it is.

I'm Here!!

No really, I am. I just haven't brogged. Sorry. If you are crying. I am too.

some vids (gangsta for "videos")

Here are 2 new videos from the last couple of weeks.

the hood: this is brog. Random.

I moved. Into the hood. Not really. I just like to tell myself that it is. I carry a gun. It looks like a camera. Actually it's only a camera. For real though.. things have been going real well here. The sun has been back with a vengeance. I don't think diving will ever get old. Especially with a video camera. A little over a month left here. I may go insane when I get back home and have to wait at traffic lights and sit in traffic. I am still recovering from a conversation that I had with Ashley Johnson about a week ago. If you don't know her, you should. These 3 pictures are from a time-lapse video I made over the last few weeks. I put myself into these pictures because I am awesome. Atleast I pretend to be. Which probably fools nobody. Anyways, word to my moms (and pops) and my sister who got her cast off this last week. I wish I was as cool as her. Peace Sequel, I know you read this.. even though you're a cat. I am blog.

Greetings! I feel like I'm getting worse at the blogging. This last week there was some crazy rain over here. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/01/world/asia/01thai.html. And check out this video from one of the staff members over at Ocean's Below

But yea, got internet back in my room, my water is back in action. It's go time! Life is good. Although I will tear up some food when I get back home.

Oh are they?

Me after the Koh Tao festival. Mud wars! Can't explain the spoon? Great times. Also, coconuts are deadly here. One almost landed on me.

So much rain. I literally have no dignity.

More brog

Here's one of my first underwater videos Been diving most mornings and editing in the afternoons. Everyone should come visit me because it is excellent here. Things I miss: Family, friends, food (my 3 effs), video games, Greensboro, movie theaters, target (seriously I just want to walk around in a target). I'm sure a lot more but I fo'get it! I buy a lot of movies here at this one dvd store (all bootleg). The guy there is pretty cool, he said he has to pay off the police every month to stay open. That is amazing. I just bought the first season of The Wire for 300 baht... which is $10. Great quality haha. I know I'm late. Pretty addicting show though. The end.

I Want Cook-Out

Someone took this picture of me while diving the other day. Swimming through a wall of fish (forgot what they're called, I'm lame). One of the best experiences so far. And got chased by 2 titan trigger fish (google them) the other day, also an experience that I will never forget. Someone send me a spicy chicken sandwich from chickfila. I would sell a finger for one of those right now. The end.

"Did anyone order me a plain cheese?" "Yea, we did, but if you want any, someone's gonna have to barf it all up.. cause it's gone!"

Got sick a few days ago with some stomach virus that's been going around. Worst two days of my life. Seriously.. even worse than my 1st day of kindergarten. When I was able to eat again.. I chose pizza. Turtle power.

Brog

Took the boat from Koh Tao to Koh Samui last Thursday to film a wedding. It was great. Also, the drinks were brunch last Friday on Samui haha.. not a bad day (approved by Nadia Aboulhosn). Just finished my 32nd dive today, and am now a rescue diver. Words. Being barefoot all the time is underrated. And yes.. I am a 25 year old man and I took that picture of myself jumping on my bed. Don't judge me. Or do. Also, I miss my family. And Sequel if you read this... sup.

Papaya Salad

"Medium Spicy" doesn't mean the same thing as what it does back home.. was crying at this point in the meal.

Koh Tao, Thailand

First week and a half in Koh Tao, Thailand. Been a pretty busy week. Went on my 13th dive today. Got my open water certification and advanced diver certification since I've been here. Saw a bunch of fish that I don't know all of the names of yet. Saw 2 sea turtles (one yesterday and one on my first dive about a week ago). The first time I was standing on the bottom and the turtle swam about a foot in front of me. Also went on one night dive so far, which was great. I was down at about 12m and pointed my light up towards the surface and there were schools of fish everywhere. And they would swim around the beam of the flashlight, which was pretty sweet. And that's it for now. I rule at blogging.
