5/5- If we're not having problem people attracted to us, we need to ask why. 
5/6- Our God id higher than any other.

5/9- My Thailand visa expires tomorrow, my passport is still in the US, and I'll soon be jail bait, but I love it here.

To be cool.

The #1 rule to being cool is to appear to be un-phased.


I'm not very cool. 


There's no way to be un-phased in this place. 

My Mother.

In honor of Mother's Day, I couldn't decide whether to write a poem or tell some 'your mom' jokes (like... your mom is so poor your family had to eat cereal with a fork to save milk), so I'll settle with telling you about a stunning woman named Eva Jo Wilson who means more than the world to me. 

Beautiful. 

Selfless. In every way. 

Compassionate. 

Hospitable. 

Kind.

Witty.

Sassy.

Passionate.

Lovely.

Strong.

Brilliant.

Humble.

Faithful.

Hilarious. 

Nurturing.

Mom.

And... she's pretty much encompasses every part of Proverbs 31. Read it. I'm not kidding.
