A Late November Early December Post

Published December 4, 2024

 Sometimes I think of Batumi and wonder.

It disappointed me when I was there. And yet I felt moments of the magic I thought it could have.

I remember the walk from the train station, along the long ocean promenade to the city. The grey-blue sea and black stone beach, the city skyscrapers cutting the water in the distance.

There I am, applying sun lotion all over my face and neck and arms in the hot Georgian sun outside a small children's park. In the city sexy young women in tracksuits walked on red paint streets. So sweet, as if the colour was glued with warm sugar.

I remember the old wise dog looking pensive out to sea and the empty novelty towers with embedded ferris wheels still, abandoned.

Rain, Mosquitos, Diamond-shaped McDonald's

I thought I would love Batumi with all my heart. I didn't. And that made me feel sad. As I left the city, in the dark early morning hours, on the overpass by the port, I decided I would give it one more chance. Some day, out there in time, that time will happen. Probably already has.

Batumi was towards the beginning of the biggest trip I've taken outside The Three Year MEGA Journey. Asia Trip 7 - ten countries, eight new, from Hungary to the Philippines.

Hungary Turkey Georgia Armenia UAE Oman Malaysia Brunei Philippines Singapore

In two and a half months. It was wild.

In Sarawak I found the feeling of connection and love that I was expecting. In contrast to what I felt on the shores of the Black Sea. I think Batumi can do it. I feel Batumi has it within. Time will tell. I'll be honest. As always.

Will the world one day love me and appreciate me.

?

I think so. Being different is always rough. I just can't lower myself to the kind of crap that would get me an easy audience, easy money. I have plenty of material if I wanted to be that

‘Travel Content Creator Happy Let's Go Guys! Look at all the Awesome Shit I've Done AhHa…’

I'm Batman. So fuck off.

I can't tear and rip and cut and disturb my genius for short-term pyrrhic gain. The victory is long, it is glorious and it will be absolute.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I have a lot to do. And a lot to write. But I felt like it.

So I am. So I have.

I've been wearing the same shorts for a long time, they are comfy and have holes in them, the ones my Vietnamese ex-girlfriend got me, they're my favourite.

Thanks to all the hard working people of the

You all did very well and I felt your love.

It really was a DRAFT !

Very randomly South Korea almost fell into dictatorship last night/this morning. It was all done and sorted by sunrise. Truly one of the stupidest acts in a very long time. And one of the funniest days ever. The Korean soldiers who entered the parliament )or at least tried to( put up very little fight against pissed off women grabbing at their guns and interns yielding fire extinguishers. It's almost as if the whole thing was just for funzies. Boredom.

Hey we're on Earth, in the universe and we don't know why, let's have 15 minute pushy-shovey

pushy-wushey

JOKE WAR

It was a joke war

Viva la Koryo

The Sixth Republic survives for now

America probably threatened Yoon. If they didn't, they should have. Yoonie won't last long.

Fire. Glow. Candle. Swim.

Dude. Fucking. Dude. I'm in the bath and I have that ‘’’too fucking sleepy.tired to do anything feeling’’’ …the adenosine is ocean, right now.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Cum. Blast. Pink. Burn.

The United States should invade and completely conquer the entirety of North America. Must be done. Doesn't have to be too overt. Could be through some kinda FRONT --- Greenland and Cuba should be overt. IMMA GET 'EM!

I'm drinking a pint of Red Bull as I finish this, in a glass pint glass. Lovely.

Glass Pint Glass

I'm looking forward to Cartagena. To Colombia. I'll be flying out in a few days. I have a list of work I need to do and things I will focus on. I have a feeling I will gain a lot from this time.

SEE YOU IN 2025

The century's all grown up.
