Hey man, It's been a long time since I have written you.

It is sparsely populated and extremely undeveloped. It is ripe with vegetation, humidity, lizards, and palm trees. The air … Continue reading “Hell is other people,” but so is Heaven!

I wonder if Bali was dubbed 'The Island of the Gods' by locals or … Continue reading The Hedonic Helicopter, Spoons, and Nyepi

Dear Devin, I am finally writing you, brother. I've known for a long time that I need to sit down and do this, but it's so fucking hard. It's hard to face that I won't get to hug you, hold you, or even be mad at you again. You aren't here. I can't DO or … Continue reading The Gift
