Chasing The Blue Beyond

Sartre says,"l'enfer, c'est les autres"  "Hell is other peopl e", and you usually find them at a Las Vegas buffet line, cutting in front of you for their favorite food---Seconds! Hell is in Montego Bay too. I owe my solitude to other people, the hell of humanity. I always have to get my "flak jacket" attitude  to run the guantlet of shrapnel and other indirect low velocity half-baked legendary hustlers in this blatent tourist trap that assaults your senses. At this point, having been there done that, so many times in Jamaica, I am neither engaged or enraged by it all. Everybody's gotta be somewhere and the hustlers are the raft that I can easily abandon, once I cross the flood. After the Deluge  I'll tell you what Marley realized. If you go off into the quiet parts of Jamaica ,  and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything...and no, you don't  have to do drugs to feel this ---you are drugs...

Bangkok / Khao San Road / Ordinary World Khao San University The most important degree I never earned—and the first unconventional classroom in the Ed Reif universe. See Full Image Show Text Ordinary World The Call Answer the Call Foreign Land Trials The Elixir Opening Thesis Education does not only happen inside institutions. Khao San Road was a short street with a very long curriculum. Backpackers, street vendors, English teachers, fake diplomas, coconut water, durian, pirated CDs, and improvised identities all became part of the lesson. The road did not award credits. It altered the way I understood freedom, learning, ownership, and reinvention.

Fish is now a vegetable I'm in Vegan paradise---Soi Khao San, Bangkok,with one low price guarantee----an economy class ticket to cool, with complimentary mojo on take off.     Coconut Magic I have just redefined what it means to be a Vegan--- thanks to a street vendor who curried up some Padi Thai with octopus and shrimp. We have located the durian smell to this room, please step aside I'm coo coo for Coconuts--- They are anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial. I'm up to six a day.The water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It is full of electrolytes, calcium and magnesium.

Coconut Water has more food value than whole milk; is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood; and, it contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk. Budweiser may be the King of beers, but Durian is the King Of Fruits . You just can't get fr...

Sea Years / Sint Maarten / Saint-Martin From Monk to Millionaire One island. Two countries. A sailor learning that wealth is not what you carry ashore, but how lightly you can leave again. See Full Island Show Story Bring more life. Wear less fear. Carry only what can survive saltwater. Landfall 01 The island appeared like a promise someone had forgotten to keep. 18° 02′ N / 63° 03′ W After enough days at sea, land does not arrive all at once. First there is a change in the birds. Then a green smudge on the horizon. Then roofs, radio chatter, diesel, music, and the impossible geometry of people living as though the ocean is not waiting just beyond the road. Sint Maarten rose from the Caribbean blue with two names and two personalities. The Dutch side moved to the rhythm of engines, casinos, beach bars, arrivals, departures, and the bright commercial confidence of people who believe the night ...
