A Snippet of Gay Life in Thailand

Going to try out some new effects – How about this piece:
I will try some new ideas during the next few months and post them here. Some will be made with new actions I found and others will be new approaches to, and uses of current images I have.
Help me out – let me know what you would like to see – send me a comment and I’ll try to do – actually, I am more productive trying to accomplish a project than just sitting here trying to be creative.

Thanks Jerry for this enlightening report – clearly a Gov’t cover-up.

He was in ecstasy, a huge smile on his face, as his wife moved forwards, then backwards, forward, then backwards again….back and forth …back and forth …in and out …in and out.
She could feel the sweat on her forehead and between her breasts and trickling down the small of her back,she was getting near to the end. Her heart was pounding, her face was flushed, then she moaned, softly at first, then louder.
Finally, totally exhausted, she let out an almighty scream and shouted.

The Gospel of Intolerance
Extremism is everywhere, all religions and faiths, – exclude’ism – divide and conquer – If God is everywhere, in everything, then nothing can be separate. Nothing can without God – COMPLETE
To exclude anyone is to exclude all – Jesus taught – forgiveness is the path to salvation — condemnation or exclusion is the path to damnation, Life in a God ‘less world. God is not for some to the exclusion of others – if God is ONE then we all are one in God.
Christians, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, all of them – some Sects teach hate, exclusion, separation, favoritism, all denying the Complete God. THE ONE, THE ALL INCLUSIVE -
“Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.â€
Thanks Kevin for pointing this out.

I boarded an aircraft at London’s Heathrow Airport for New York and as I was taking my seat , I noticed a very gorgeous young man boarding the plane. Then I realized he was heading straight toward my seat and bingo – he took the seat right beside me. "Hello", I blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"
He turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I’m going to the annual LGBT convention in the United States." I swallowed hard. Here was the sexiest guy I had ever seen sitting next to me, and he was going to a meeting for Gays!
Struggling to maintain my composure, I calmly asked, "What’s your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," he responded. "I use my experience to debunk some popular myths about sexuality."
"Really", I smiled, "what myths are those?" "Well," he explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it’s the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent. I have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."
Suddenly he became uncomfortable and blushed. "I’m sorry," he said. "I really shouldn’t be discussing this with you; I don’t even know your name!"
"Tonto," I said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy."
Thanks to Paul’s Sunday Funnies (of course I changed it a little )

Adobe’s Lightroom is a must have program for any photographer – or traveler who takes photos for that matter.
And if your camera doesn’t have a built in Geo Tracker – then you can use your smart phone to record the tracklog and have Lightroom sync the photos.
I used GPS Essentials (free) with my Galaxy II to record my trip today and took 84 images with the Canon D7 (no GPS) around Pattaya Beach and Walking Street – loaded the images and tracklog into Lightroom and above is the results – in blue is my route and each of the photos have been set to the correct location automatically. – and very accurate too.
The route, shown in blue, also shows the car route I used to get there and back ( no images tagged). I store the tracklog in the same directory as the original images, so I now have a permanent record of the trip.
Here is a ******* SLIDESHOW ******* of some of the images taken during the walk.
I am going to plan more excursions and will use this system to record each trip – and put a copy, like above, in each slideshow –
GREAT – try it, for the traveler it’s invaluable.

THEY PROVED IT — "Gay men weren’t just put on this earth for their fashion flair, impeccable taste and creativity," said Jones. "They’re cancer-fighting angels that need to be encouraged, celebrated and, above all, appreciated."
So get out there and fight cancer – tell your friends – form a group –

A male and a female whale were swimming off the coast of Japan when they noticed a whaling ship. The male recognized it as the same ship that had harpooned his father many years earlier.
He said to the female: "Let’s both swim under the ship and blow out of our air holes at the same time and it should cause the ship to turn over and sink." They tried it and sure enough, the ship turned over and quickly sank.
Soon, however, the whales realized the sailors had jumped overboard and were swimming to the safety of shore. The male was enraged that they were going to get away and told the female: "Let’s swim after them and gobble them up before they reach the shore."
At this point, he realized the female was becoming reluctant to follow him. "Look," she said: "I went along with the blow job, but I absolutely refuse to swallow the seamen."

A good way to start the new year is with a Merit Making Ceremony – giving to the monks for merit for future life – good karma. So at 8:30 they started setting up and at 9:30 the monks arrived – they also had food for everyone – lasted about 2 hrs in the parking lot right below my condo.
I like this shot – the young monk spotted me on my balcony with the camera – only one down there that I could see that looked up.

This is my first attempt at making a video using Photoshop and getting it on the blog. Crude but shows the essentials. I’m not sure how to render for the web – also had to upload to YouTube using Microsoft Live Writer as a blog editor. just guessed at the settings.
The opening of the video was the local TV station’s coverage of the Bali High Port Celebration. The festivities started on Christmas Eve and lasted till New Year Eve – tonight. I just captured some footage from this evening – just before midnight and then the fireworks.
As I pan, you can see from Jontiem Beach area on the left to South Pattaya, right – with Bali High in the middle having the largest display. The screaming you hear in the background was the girls on the roof of our building enjoying the show – I stayed in my condo, safe from them and any mosquitoes.
It’s a hell of a lot more spectacular from the balcony than the video shows – so next year, plan on coming and see it in person, accompanied of course, by your favorite local young man – he and the show are waiting for you.

To be truthful I’m not really in the Christmas spirit this year. No snow, and it is just a grand tourist shopping event here. Tonight I sat in front of the computer and this is the best I could come up with. Not depressed, just not into the festive mood. But for all of you out there MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
There’s going to be lot of parties around Pattaya and shows for the holidays and I will try to record some shots or maybe a video – but no promises.

Just went to the “Venue Christmas Show†– little darker than usual and the new LED background display is really bright and causes some problems for the camera. But still I think I got some good representative shots of all of the acts. Always something.
This is big slideshow – 307 photos – so takes a long time to see.
As usual GREAT SHOW – In my opinion, for your money you can’t find a better show in Pattaya, and what always amazes me is that all the performers are smiling and happy and really enjoy entertaining the guests – They will have a new show for New Year and I will try to attend and get something, maybe a movie – MERRY CHRISMAS
