nights turn into days

it amazes me, citys do. no matter your condition they just keep going. All day and all night without mercy. And no matter what side of the world your on, there all the same.

my clock is horribly off. i fell asleep at 5 or so and now its 2 and i cant go back to sleep. i feel like a crack head. but i kind of like it, the disturbance in all my normal rituals. its nice for everything to be so terribly different. I'm actually kind of in love. i've never been so inspired, and i feel so alive. this is know is what we live for, to feel this way at some point in life. to be in such a place like this and not have a full blown passion for life and everything around you i will never understand.

Today we visited the Grand Palace, after we were ordered to dress from head to toe in clothing of course. I would have taken pictures of it but every other tourist with their big camera, nike shoes, and button up Hawaiian shirts took them for me. Instead i found a corner where some people were praying and shot that.

The palace was truly amazing, the detail, the perfection. But i figure you either see it, or you don't. Pictures of historical monuments are so cliche. We went to eat lunch on the river after. So many people everywhere its overwhelming. I don't know how they all fit. we took the river boat from the Palace to the restaurant. the food is much different here. Some dishes are the same, Todd gets mad when we order "Americanized" Thai dishes. Which is understandable. Zach orders pad Thai.... we down about 6 23 oz. Singha beers amongst the table and Linda gets a little flustered. Im buzzed and i feel like rolling my eyes. I cant wait to go down south, but Todd says it will be just as packed... personally i don't care. i just want to see the beach. Although the amount of tourists is a little ridiculous.

everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing.
