To be an artist means to take the bull by the horns,
Be young again and disregard all things that fuck
you up.

You can't make jokes about Jews unless you are Jewish.
You can't call someone a nigger unless you are black
yourself.
If you are on the other hand a one-eyed, black, Jewish
gay guy who lost a relative in 9/11, you can make
jokes about anything you please.

Last Stick Insect Hunting Trip

I have a confession to make.
Although I am known around the world as the aggressively
shy Stick Insect Hunter, I haven't really been out
hunting for stick insects for a long time. I was just
too shy to tell anybody, afraid to mention it and
worried about what the neighbors might say.
Of all the favored dreams I have, I like the one
with the young daughters of the indigenous headman
and those curious de-virginizing ceremonies,
best.

I thought I finally grew up.
Then I realized I was just constipated.

Mooning at Donsol, Philippines

Every place
has it's little summer getaway.
In Munich people go sunbathing at one of the plentiful
lakes north of the Alps. In Hong Kong every Sunday
droves of people hop on a ferry or a junk and cruise
to one of the "Outlying Islands" like for
example, Lamma Island. In San Francisco you either
cruise up to Sonoma or down to Monterey.
In Manila we drive down to Donsol, southern Luzon
and moon whalesharks.
Originally I wanted to see if I can get those beasts
excited by stroking their flanks and maybe tickling
their balls a little but that got me into trouble
with the local wildlife preservers. You are not supposed
to touch them. Well, they didn't say anything about
visually stimulating them a little and that's how
I ended up mooning them.

The not "working" thing is doing me very
well.
It's good to be an artist.
I am here for the next two weeks.
Unless I find an internet cafe somewhere in the jungle there
won't be any posts for that period.
Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do like trying
to get whalesharks confused about the sexual orientation.
