I used to weigh 180 pounds. I decided I didn’t want to feel fat anymore so I started working out. I jogged 3 -5 miles a day and worked out in the gym three times a week for two months but barely dropped 5 pounds. Yes, I was a little bit thinner, but I wanted…

I was born and raised in the United States, but when I was 14 I moved to Thailand and was sent to Ruamrudee International School. Since then I’ve come across a lot of “You know you were an international school kid if…” emails and posts. Here is a selection of the ones I can relate…

The school has finally decided to change the 40-year-old heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in our building. We haven’t had air conditioning for over a month. We also have wires hanging from the ceiling. Wish you were here. Misery loves company.

So, here I am AGAIN in Las Vegas for the SECOND time this week. We’re staying at the Gold Coast and the room is actually pretty nice. I haven’t left it since we checked in  6 hours ago. The view isn’t so bad either. Seriously, how lame am I? I’m here in Vegas and I…

I just spent the last three days in Las Vegas. The whole purpose of the trip was for Randy, John, Krista, The Verg, and me to spend time together. Well, that didn’t really happen. It turns out that Randy and Krista, and The Verg are gambling machines and John and I are not. I ended…
