How To Live Like a Rockstar When You are Not One...
European Rock Tour Rock and Roll Your Soul [su_dropcap]S[/su_dropcap]ept 27 – London, England. I started the day early so that Carlos and I could make another $200 in stocks, but then we lost $200 in the afternoon. That is a tough game we are playing…. I headed to Hard Rock Cafe London to work my shift. Dan-Man has been hassling me to come with him and his band across the Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg for a rock tour that...
Kill ‘Em All (1983) – Metallica. James Hetfield – Rhythm Guitar and vocals Kirk Hammett – Lead Guitar Cliff Burton – Bass Lars Ulrich – Drums So, this album will certainly not be for everyone. I was not even for me up until a few months ago when I was really high in Guatemala and hanging out at a rock bar. I was with a Guatemalan, an American and the American’s Guatemalan wife, who co-owned the bar with him, and...
Foo Fighters in a Bar. Dingwalls – Camden – London – England – 26/Feb/2011 [su_dropcap]M[/su_dropcap]usic is more than just sounds for me. It is a noise that consumes my life and my thought patterns. I have been living in London, and working for the Hard Rock Café for a year and a half now, and my life is all about rock shows and concerts. In 2011 alone, I attended three of the four best shows I have seen in my life. In February, I was...
Axl’s Roses [su_dropcap]I[/su_dropcap] got up early to go to work for that all staff meeting. I worked in the afternoon as a host at Hard Rock Cafe and after my shift I went with two girl coworkers to their house and got changed to get ready for the Guns ‘N Roses/Axl’s Roses concert. I wore my plaid party pants, 1970’s shirt, and one of the girls back-combed my hair to give me an afro. My hair was huge and it looked...
Blue Rodeo – Black Eye [su_dropcap]I[/su_dropcap] went to a Canadian band called ‘Blue Rodeo’ in a bar in London a couple of weeks ago when all of this madness started. It was sold out when I showed up and I had to wait until someone arrived with an extra ticket. Amanda from North Carolina came with a spare after her Canadian friend stood her up. Amanda was young, lesbian, and very sexy. She is the girl in every lesbian relationship. The...
Bangkok, Thailand -Sex Show [su_dropcap]I[/su_dropcap]t was early August and my German girlfriend and I had just left Australia on a cheap flight to squeaky clean Singapore. After a couple of days of sightseeing and eating, I stumbled across $98 tickets to fly into Bangkok. Bangkok is always an interesting city of naughtiness. I had once previously encountered the wonders of a sex show in Thailand and I asked my girlfriend if she was interested in seeing one. When she told...
Possible, Impending, Death by Spider – Australian Outback [su_dropcap]S[/su_dropcap]he had just finished giving me an ice massage to try and alleviate the itch from the rash covering my upper body. In preparation for sleep, I positioned myself comfortably in the bed just before she was ready. By chance, she turned on the light for a moment. I recognized the ‘click’ sound in the instant before the light filled the van. Suddenly my girlfriend said, “Oh my god Stephen. Oh my...
Papua New Guinea Experience [su_dropcap]S[/su_dropcap]eptember 9 – Cairns, Australia. To save money, we were boiling water to cook our pasta on the free barbeques in a park in Cairns, Australia. It was there that we met a man from Papua New Guinea. He was with his family of about a dozen people and they offered us some of their feast. We were extremely broke and had been living off of pasta and tomato sauce for so long that is...
Vang Vieng Paradise of Laos Girls [su_dropcap]V[/su_dropcap]ang Vieng. My paradise. Vang Vieng has a lot of things to do that can occupy a man’s day, including, it seems, local Laos girls who really like western boys. You can explore the caves, ride a tube down the river, party all day in the sun and in the riverside bar-shacks, and splash into the river on the giant rope swings. Another great way to spend your day is by doing nothing and...
Phuket, Thailand Sex Show 7 January 2007. Well, my buddy Mike and I made it to Phuket, Thailand. It was evening when we arrived and decided to voyage out into the street to see some of the life. We were walking along the crowded street, having fun drinking beer and looking at the ridiculous amount of hookers dancing on outdoor tables in the nightlife center of the island. Suddenly we were approached by a man on the street with a...
Death Threat Thailand Sex Diary. [su_dropcap]T[/su_dropcap]hailand is just about the exact place I had heard tales about. Everyone who has ever been there has a fable of their own. After visiting Thailand, I am convinced that most of the legends I have heard about drugs, parties and prostitution are probably true. This is my account of the naughtiness in tropical, beautiful Thailand…. My friend Mike and I ended up on the island of Koh Samui, in southern Thailand, just before...
Beautiful Manipulation by Saigon Ladies [su_dropcap]M[/su_dropcap]y friend Mike and I were backpacking down the coast of Vietnam, living cheap, living well, and partying hard. It was pretty awesome for me to have a friend from home come to meet me in Asia to add a little culture to his life. Mike made plans for the sights he wanted us to see on our journey. I hunted for women. It had been a year since Mike and I had seen each...
Toilet Incident – Suwon, South Korea. [su_dropcap]N[/su_dropcap]ever in my life has my privacy been so completely violated as it was one day when I had diarrhea in Suwon. That day has made me re-think any lingering childish intentions I may have ever had of becoming a voyeur. My girlfriend and I went to visit a Korean Traditional Folk Village for the day, and I was hung-over from the night before. I made fun of Korea all day, pointing out to her...
Absinthe and Russian Women Vladivostok, Russia [su_dropcap]W[/su_dropcap]e flew to Vladivostok, Russia, just north of the North Korean border in July. We may as well have flown to the end of the earth. Vladivostok, Russia is about the last place anyone would ever think to visit, let alone go to for an adventure with underlying hopes of getting laid. We arrived at the airport at 5:30 pm and a man from our pre-booked hotel was standing there with a sign. I...
March 2004 Kirsten and Magic Mushroom Housewarming I like to tell people that if you get a new girlfriend, you should eat magic mushrooms with her as it is a good way to get to know who each other really are. I had been dating Kirsten for a couple of months when we decided to go on such an adventure. We were sitting at the table eating them as the sun was just beginning to set. It took a while...
