diarrhea: when not if

the moment has arrived. i depart in mere hours, bowels still intact, still totally oblivious to the reality that it will be nearly 3 months before im back in gods country. its amazing what young people will do in these here disillusioned times to wake ourselves up from the lethargic slumber of privilege. perhaps we should reinstate the draft.

i also love the fact that i almost missed my flight here from nyc and made it (after chucking all of my liquids and gels since i was too late to check any luggage) and just realized 15 minutes ago that my flight to hong kong leaves late this evening, NOT tomorrow afternoon. ah, military time! (another reason to reinstate the draft) i hope that this latest ditzy moment will be the kick in the pants i need to WAKE UP and avoid future missed flights, muggings, bacterial infections and the like.

i hope that some of you will place friendly wagers on how many hours before my first loose stool. malaysia is known for its fine cuisine and i aint holdin back. place your wagers, fill the kitty, and wait for trouble in the poop chute!
