But the best place without a doubt was Langkawi in Malaysia.
Three years on the most perfect island in the world.
Apart from getting arrested and thrown in jail, then deported, I would say it was the happiest part of my life - so far.
Green jungles man .. it was all green and jungley!! Big lizards the size of dogs, ands the size of your thumb, all in orderly lines, dopey cute buffalo babies, and two troops of monkeys having a war in the jungle over my bungalow!!!
I really wanted to see that film!! I love Nicholson, and I do think he has a talent for comedy. But, I watched about 50 minutes of it and then turned it off! I didnt enjoy it at all. Dont know why .. Just didnt click. Shame.
You life should be told by you to a professional writer. There are ghost-writing services that will transcribe your story.
So, get some salient points together and record them on to a sound system. Get a small digital voice recorder, and systematically go through your life.
Then go to a local college and get someone to type what you have said. They need the practice and the money and you dont need the agg of having to type for hours.
When its typed, take it and the voice recording to a ghost writer and find out how much it would cost to get it turned into a screen play.
When it is, then tout it around talent agents.
They will be able to promote it for you.
Its not a cheap experience. In fact it might cost you an arm and a leg.
... and ultimately, it might only be of interest to you and your friends.
Nope lived in the Middle East. Specifically in the Sinai, about 15 miles from the Egyptian/Israeli border. Seen the Israeli warplanes bombing the tunnels that the Bedouin set up.
Having seen first hand what the Israelis are prepared to do in the name of "peace" they deserve everything they get.
Using war planes to attack ambulances, to bomb schools (200 kids died), to bomb the relief agencies route into Gaza to perform the basic needs. Seen it all. Not impressed!
The UK and the US need to stop funding Israel. Then they would need to come to the table and form a peace that is lasting.
But then as the Mossad is the best information gathering organisation in the world, and they share it with the West, why would the Brits and Yanks stop funding?
Gave it up. After 20 years, the diving industry had changed, my body wasnt recovering as fast and I was beginning to despise it.
Now Im attempting to be a serious, upstanding member of society for my sanity and to be able to see my daughter on a regular basis.
Back at university, studying some really geeky computer subject and loving every minute of it.
Plan is to get the degree, then find a place, stop travelling and try to be the best father I can, by either visiting Holland on a regular basis, or moving to Holland.
When loved ones come home, always hurry to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best interest -- practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory. Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.
RE: I understand American anger.
Wow Paws .. this is a biggie!Not that Im disagreeing, but the last comment is an interesting one.
The UK is doing it - still!
