I saw the new movie 88 Minutes yesterday and enjoyed it. It was interesting and full of suspense. I enjoyed the show but did think that the story could have been a bit better. I knew the "who done it" early on but perhaps just a lucky guess. From Fandango: Al Pacino stars as Dr. Jack Gramm, a college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI. When Gramm receives a death threat claiming he has only 88 minutes to live, he must use all his skills and training to narrow down the possible suspects, who include a disgruntled student, a jilted former lover, and a serial killer who is already on death row, before his time runs out. http://www.fandango.com/88minutes_85769/movieoverview?date=

Thanks guys. Keep the ideas coming. I plan to try the Hamburger Mary's if I am still here. Never been there and it sounds fun. Always wanted to see JimRay so perhaps I'll get a chance on this trip. Also, I hear Ethan Evans is coming to town.

LOL. Well, I'm not sure anything would get me into enough shape to take on all the ones I wanted.

Just returned from a few weeks in the great city of Sao Paulo. It is amazing and wonderful. I love the city and the people. This time I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. It is close to the Jardines area which is full of great shops and restaurants. It is a fantastic area. It is also very gay friendly and tons of gays live there and play there. The boys at LaGoa were fun and lively most night. Fragata was full on Saturday and Sundays were better. Alterosas is the best on Saturday afternoon. I was a little more adventurous this time around and played a great deal in the gay park at night. I met some great guys there and some hot ones. You MUST be careful if you pick up someone from the park as it is dangerous and there have been many problem there with robbing and murders over the years. I had no problems but I always pick a sweet face. I spent the majority of my time at LaGoa and really did have some fun there. I learned one thing that I need to remember. That is when you want a massage only, ask the Massagista instead of the boys. Even though they say they can massage, they suck. Literally. They all preferred sex to an hour massage and the 3 I asked for this all sucked. I think the scene in Sao Paulo is fun and the malls are full of hot boys. The saunas do get some hotties but the streets are great too if you have traveled there and are adventurous. My best guy was someone that no longer works the saunas but came in to see me every day or two. He just takes my breath away every time I see him. His top ONLY personality usually turns me off but something about his smile and his liveliness turns me into his bitch. LOL The guys there are the best sex on earth. I have found few that aren't passionate and amazing.

I am in LA for a bit on business and wanted to see who the hot boys are here. Any recommendations? Any dinners planned for the diner? Any hooker events coming up? Please enlighten me.

What is happening with the Birdcage? Is it still there? Is Kevin's partner keeping it going? Mark is the creative talent behind it and I hope that he keeps things running. Any news?

As a Northwest flyer for years, I am glad to see this merger. I wonder how this will effect travel to and from Thailand? I know NWA is strong over the Pacific and this won't affect me that much but do wonder how it will affect others. Last trip, I took the Thai Airways flight from JFK nonstop and I loved it. It was long and tiresome but it did save a few hours and quite a bit of money. NWA has increased its fares for upgradable tickets from USA to over 3500 on most flights when last year it was only 2300. They keep bumping up that fare you need in order to upgrade that it finally drove me to Thai. I was glad it did.

One of my favorite cities in Thailand. http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/trave...html?ref=travel

We are working on revamping the City Guides area to make it more accurate. We have changed the initial information for Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Bangkok and are working on the others. We are also working to remove all of listings that are no longer in existence. Any other suggestions you have for us on this area, please let us know.

A good point was made about the part at the end of each review that says Was this Review Helpful or Not. We have now limited this to logged in members only and only one vote per person. I hope this helps with some of the "playing" that goes on with some of the reviews.

Just doing a Google search of this poem, there are tons of articles. I was an English Literature and Creative Writing double major. The Internet was not available then. I do wonder how my education would have been different in the "Information Age." Would I have relied on it as my major source of information? How much more common is plagiarism today? Lastly, I paid my way through undergrad school, grad school and law school by writing my classmates papers. I would not be a needed commodity thanks to the Internet and I would not have been able to afford to go to university.

Corporate offices are currently located in Brazil. Would you like to make an appointment? I'd love to meet you both. I assume Ethan is coming?

That was the sweetest thing anyone has said to me in ages. Thank you. Well, it wasn't quite good as the "I love you" my Brazilian muscle boy gave me, but it was damm close! And, with you, I know you meant it from the heart. Thanks. PS I'm sure I'll be back in Thailand soon but damm, Brazil is amazing!

To be honest, my heart is weak and when it gets attached to someone, it rarely lets go. I had my mind set on this boy I met a few years ago in Sao Paulo and he worked at Lagoa. Well, his brother did and he was there with him a few times when I started to see him. He would go to my hotel daily and I just adored him so much I took him to Rio with me. I have not been here in Sao Paulo in a long time and had lost touch with him. I went to the sauna every day this week hoping he would show. I asked for him by name and no one knew him. Even the guys that I knew for years did not know him. I sat in a chair and waited everyday for him. Every time the door opened, my eyes gazed to it hoping it was him. He has been on my mind since I last saw him Carnival 2 years ago. The doors opening and my anticipation grew by the day. So did my disappointment. My heart has been sad all week. This is not a lie. I was pretty crushed that I could not find him or get in contact with him. I was pretty much about to give up when I found his cell phone number from years ago. No luck as a lady answered it and I just kept saying the word TotallyOz (well, I was saying my real name.). She spoke no English and I just assumed it was not his number anymore. I had called him using Skype. Today, out of the blue, my computer rings. It is him. He had a day off from his regular job and was calling. I was so ecstatic. I was jumping up and down. I went to the hotel concierge and had them call him to arrange him to come to my room. Yes, I know that is odd but I am good to them when they help me. He speaks no English either but when we are together, we are able to communicate in broken Englguese. He showed up at my hotel and looks fabulous. His body still ripped with muscles and his stomach still a six-pack. Well, he did have a bit of flab and more hair than when he worked in the sauna but he was gorgeous. My afternoon was spent with him and without a doubt, he made my trip. He can only see me on Sundays so I will stay here and see him as much as I can. We laughed, watched the new Madonna video, played games and showed each other photos from the past 2 years. He walked out to the living room of my hotel room to leave and gave me a long deep kiss and said, “I love you.” Well, now, guys I know he doesn’t love me but just hearing the words did make my heart melt. It was sweet and his touch really brought back feelings I had had buried for a few years. It is amazing with the amount of sex that I have that one straight boy with a girlfriend can move me in a way that no one else can. Angles come in many forms. This one came today in the form of a sexy Brazilian lad who had grown up well and still has the smile that takes me to heaven.

Dear Dick, sorry you are having issues. I know this boy well. Here is what he said: Hi there. This is XXX. I travel a great deal and try to split my time between the two cities. When I am in City B, I ask Brandon Baker to move my add to that city so my clients will know I am there. I do spend a great deal of time in City B and it would be my pleasure to spend some good quality time with you. I'd also be willing to travel to City B if I am not there if you are looking for an overnight or a weekend. I assure you that you will not be disappointed in my services. I am currently in graduate school and don't have a great deal of time to spend on e-mails and the best way to contact me is via telephone. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you! Hugs and Kisses, XXX

If anyone is looking for a great show to watch, the second season of The Riches has started. It is quirky, funny and entertaining. The cast is great and the storylines just keep me laughing.

Well, 4 minutes is about as long as it would take for me to orgasm with Leonardo DiCaprio. But, Madonna just came out with a new video called 4 Minutes with Justin Timerlake. It is excellent. Madonna still looks fucking amazing and only gets better with age. She still has the moves and the combo of the two of them together looks fantastic, Has anyone else seen this video? What did you think?

KY, Just to let you know, Danilo in Sao Paulo was asking about you and speaks so highly of you. He wanted you to know he is thinking of you and hopes you are better soon! You have love and hugs and kisses from so many admirers around the world. I know that helps in a faster recovery!

Hands down, go with a Mac. Throw that Windows computer out the window. Go to your Mac store and get a new Mac. You will love it. It is faster, better and stronger!

I just got to my next port of call after a 2 month stay in the Land of Smiles. Already I miss many things about it and I had such an amazing trip. I will admit that this trip was the best one in my 5 years of going to Thailand. I think part of this had to do with the places I chose to go and the people I chose to see. I avoided all the boring gossip queens in Pattaya and thus my evenings and my dinner times were much more enjoyable. I rarely offed a gogo boy I didn't know from previous trips. I spent my money on the guys I have grown to enjoy and love hanging out with as opposed to a new guy every day. In Chiang Mai, the trip was special as the hosts of PJ's Place made it very comfortable. I spent a month with them and then in Pattaya I stayed at the Marriott for a month. The Marriott is very conveniently located and the facilities are great. The gym there is clean and enjoyable. The people that work there could not have been nicer. I checked the boyfriend in on the room so he could come and go as he pleased. The rates at the Marriott are higher than I wanted to pay but the convenience made it worth it. Plus, I needed nights for my rewards nights. Thailand is a very unique and special place. For those of you who helped make my experience better, I thank you. I flew into NYC to spend the day with a friend and last night took a flight to Latin America to spend a month in another one of my favorite cities. It is amazing how much I already miss Thailand and the boyfriend. He has called several times to tell me to come back. To those of you in the Land of Smiles, enjoy every minute and each day try something new. I am looking forward to a return sometime over the summer. Enjoy Songkran!

I took the Thai air non-stop to NYC today. I was lucky as I got there 4 hour early. Good thing I did as the line to get through immigration took over 1 1/2 hours. I stood in a room filled to the max with others. The air con was not working well and everyone was sweating. It was a horrendous experience to wait that long. I am not really sure why they didn't have more officers there to handle the crowds but it was a pain in the ass to sit there. Also, I always travel with extra luggage that I pay for. I pulled out my Visa and was told they don't accept debit cards; only Credit cards and cash. She said this went into effect in March. This was Thai airways btw and I don't know the rules with the other airlines. Luckily, I had some cash to pay for this as that was the only card I had in my passport carrier. The nonstop flight was great and I much prefer it to the other ways of flying.

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/...1725678,00.html Personally, I love the idea. Here is the time article: Unlike Barack Obama, Bill Clinton does not believe in "the fierce urgency of now." The former President has an exquisitely languid sense of how political time unfurls. He understands that those moments the political community, especially the media, considers urgent usually aren't. He has seen his own election and reelection—and completing his second term—pronounced "impossible" and lived to tell the tale. He remembers that in spring 1992 he had pretty much won the Democratic nomination but was considered a dead man walking, running third behind Bush the Elder and Ross Perot. He knows that April is the silly season in presidential politics, the moment when candidates involved in a bruising primary battle seem weakest and bloodied, as both Hillary Clinton and Obama do now. It's the moment when pundits demand action—"Drop out, Hillary!"—and propound foolish theories. And so I'm rather embarrassed to admit that I'm slouching toward, well, a theory: if this race continues to slide downhill, the answer to the Democratic Party's dilemma may turn out to be Al Gore. This April promises to be crueler than most. The two campaigns have started attacking each other with chainsaws, while the Republican John McCain is moving ahead in some national polls. At this point, Clinton can only win the nomination ugly: by superdelegates abandoning Obama and turning to her, in droves—not impossible, but not very likely either. Even if Clinton did overtake Obama, it would be very difficult for her to win the presidency: African Americans would never forgive her for "stealing" the nomination. They would simply stay home in November, as would the Obamista youth. (Although the former President is probably thinking: Yeah, but John McCain is a flagrantly flawed candidate too—I'd accept even a corrupted nomination and take my chances.) Which is not to say that Clinton's candidacy is entirely without purpose now that she is pursuing a Republican-style race gambit, questioning Obama's 20-year relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah "God damn America" Wright. Democrats will soon learn how damaging that relationship might be in a general election. They'll also see if Obama has the gumption to bounce back, work hard—not just arena rallies for college kids but roundtables for the grizzled and unemployed in American Legion halls—and change the minds that have turned against him. The main reason superdelegates have not yet rallied round Obama is that the party is collectively holding its breath, waiting to see how he performs in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana. He will probably do well enough to secure the nomination. But what if he tanks? What if he can't buy a white working-class vote? What if he loses all three states badly and continues to lose after that? I'd guess that the Democratic Party would still give him the nomination rather than turn to Clinton. But no one would be very happy—and a year that should have been an easy Democratic victory, given the state of the economy and the unpopularity of the incumbent, might slip away. Which brings us back to Al Gore. Pish-tosh, you say, and you're probably right. But let's play a little. Let's say the elders of the Democratic Party decide, when the primaries end, that neither Obama nor Clinton is viable. Let's also assume—and this may be a real stretch—that such elders are strong and smart enough to act. All they'd have to do would be to convince a significant fraction of their superdelegate friends, maybe fewer than 100, to announce that they were taking a pass on the first ballot at the Denver convention, which would deny the 2,025 votes necessary to Obama or Clinton. What if they then approached Gore and asked him to be the nominee, for the good of the party—and suggested that he take Obama as his running mate? Of course, Obama would have to be a party to the deal and bring his 1,900 or so delegates along. I played out that scenario with about a dozen prominent Democrats recently, from various sectors of the party, including both Obama and Clinton partisans. Most said it was extremely unlikely ... and a pretty interesting idea. A prominent fund raiser told me, "Gore-Obama is the ticket a lot of people wanted in the first place." A congressional Democrat told me, "This could be our way out of a mess." Others suggested Gore was painfully aware of his limitations as a candidate. "I don't know that he'd be interested, even if you handed it to him," said a Gore friend. Chances are, no one will hand it to him. The Democratic Party would have to be monumentally desperate come June. And yet ... is this scenario any more preposterous than the one that gave John McCain the Republican nomination? Yes, it's silly season. But this has been an exceptionally "silly" year.

Either that or I have scared away all the customers in Bangkok. For three days in a row, I have been in many of the bars in Bangkok and was one of very few if not the only customer in them. Tonight, on a Saturday night, we went into 4 of the bars and all were dead. The showtimes had many boys sitting there with no one buying them drinks and tons of empty spaces. I asked a few of the waiters I know and they all said it has been like this all week and that they were very very slow with few customers.

The drink prices on Soi Twilight are 250 baht up for anything you drink and this is not even at show-time or weekends. They go up on weekends. The lady bars are half that price and even less. The owners of the gay bars are making a killing off of the prices of the drinks. I have decided that I will spend much less time here than in other places. The quality of the boys are not as good as Pattaya, I hate the same old sex shows time after time and the prices for drinks just keep going through the roof. For me, a night of bar hopping is not possible at these prices and you have to choose one or two bars maximum to not break the wallet. I just decided to spend more time in other cities after seeing the lackluster of boys in all the bars last night combined with the crazy prices.
