I’m Watching…Thai English Lost in Translation

For quite some time my goal as a young web entrepreneur had to make enough money to buy an island and live on it. However as you get older you find that life always finds a way of getting in the way. If it's not the cat you have to feed, it's a baby you had out of wedlock and end up having 80,000 dollars in child support in arrears and a lien placed upon your Xbox 3.

But then you start to think that maybe the island idea is a bad idea anyway. In fact you will know for sure that it would be a horrible idea. A good island would run you at least 5 million dollars and if you had that island now and planned to keep it you have a huge potential downside of rising sea levels and island erosion to worry about. The idea would be to have a worry free rest of your life and that doesnt sound very worry free.

So you move on. You start to think I will just work really hard until I have made five million in cash and then make a couple smart investments and live off of the interest. That may be possible, I'll just have to sell 125,000 more teeth whitening kits. Wish me luck.

But if I ever make it my new goal is to visit Thailand. Look at this girl. She's fifteen and, for an asian, she's cute. You always have to predicate a statement like that with "for an asian." Just a fact of life. Just an unfortunate fact of life. Speaking of Unfortunate events, what happened to that Lemony Snicket girl she was fucking cute. I dont have to predicate that statement with anything. Lemoney snicket girl you were fucking hot. Where'd you go?

Anyway, Thailand looks sick. Thailand has always had good street cred with me ever since the Beach. Good movie. I want to go there for a couple of months, live the beach shack life and get one or two tribal tattoos from a shaman. That's all. Throw in some Pad Thai and I'm solid bro.

My point here is that we live in a magical world and you shouldn't worry about money. Money is just a thing that they made to control the little people.Real life you can't buy with money. Real life is joshin' around with your thai whore. Real life you can't pay for. But you can buy white teeth.
