A Perfect Circle

 There have been a number of moments over the past week where I have thought to myself, hell this is pretty funny, but hey it’s my life. And with that I present to you my workout song from today and a soundtrack for your audio pleasure.

A whirlwind of a week has passed me by with ups and downs tracing me back to a place where I feel content again. A perfect circle if you will, similar to my latest addition of bodywork. Not that I have tattoos, but as the saying goes “scars are tattoos of experience”. Each scar or mark tells a story or brings back a memory, some are epic stories of attrition, others drunken mishaps and some are that silly burn you got by resting your arm on a bolt of a go kart motor for just that little bit too long.

After being spoiled upon arrival to Thailand with work, my schedule has lightened and I have more free time. So Iceman, Goose, Charlie and Viper (myself) headed to light up the track at the local EasyKart indoor go karting track. Armed with a helmet and a sense of adrenaline we took to the track. After 3 rounds of nail-biting and rubber spitting action we took our well-deserved thirst for a round of brew.

Naturally my favourite warm weather beer, Hoegaarden decorated the table in front of me in a lavish style. The Asian way of drinking beer frequently involves ice. Ice in the beer. For me this is outlandish, so I was pleased to see the throne my Hoegaarden was placed in.

I also took the opportunity this week to invest in my pearly whites. For years I have been considering whitening and its much more cost effective in Thailand. Fortunately I shopped around and made sure I found a dentist that went to the school in the US. As a matter of fact many of them study internationally and come back to practice. Here is the preliminary change, and I will be using the trays over the next couple weeks.
