That Time I Ended Up in a Nepalese Drug Den
I was in a courtyard. There was no ceiling. I had arrived here by tunnel, obviously. The walls were indented with booths, like a Mos Eisley Cantina. There wasn’t much here, but there were a fuck-tonne of drug dealers. Shady characters hunched over shady tables, making shady deals, in their shady enclaves. It was a stinking pile of villainous scum.

Best Places to Cry in LA
1. Your car. A seminal classic. A rite of passage. Take advantage of one of the innumerable freeways and interchanges, and treat yourself to a cathartic and potentially hazardous emotional upheaval. The 10. The 5. The 101. The 60. The 405. The plethora of choices is overwhelming but the possibilities are endless. Will a famous director spot you from his Tesla and realize you are the muse for his new star vehicle while he sees you sobbing in yours? Will you rear-end Kim Kardashian? Will you get rear-ended by the love of your life in the most quintessentially LA meet-cute of all time? Get more bang for your buck from the leased 2018 Nissan Versa that you somehow procured on a wing and a prayer even though your credit score doesn’t break 600. The most important component to your breakdown on-the-go is the accompanying music. The soundtracks to the musicals Dear Evan Hansen, Waitress, and High Fidelity do nicely, but it’s dealer’s choice. And in LA traffic, you’ll have plenty of time.

Withering Heights
“Can you write a guest blog for me please?” It sounded so simple, I thought. Just jot down some thoughts, make it funny, informative, and appealing, job done. Well, let me tell you, it’s not as easy as bloggers make it look! They say the hardest part about writing a story is in finding the beginning, because you have to decide what to write about, how you’re going to say it and where you want the tale to go; but for me, that was the easy part. Easy, because I’ve decided to tell you a tale from when I worked on cruise ships traveling the world, meeting interesting people and getting into all kinds of madcap trouble, but difficult because I not only have to protect the innocent by not revealing their names but, also have to decide exactly how honest to be about the guilty, or “me” as I’m also known… so here goes, and I hope you like it!

Just Another Day in the Life!
I guess it's good to know that the ol' luck is still holding. Have you ever been invited to go somewhere with a friend? I'm sure most of you have, but I rarely if ever get the chance to take like a day trip with anyone. I think that most know if I'm involved, their little journey may turn into something that may appear on the evening news. Others, well, let's just say 'they've learned their lesson'!
