Today is my Birthday and while I don’t really care for getting older I am content with the fact that I still have the mind of a 12 year old stuffed into a 46 year old skull.
The debauchery fanfare actually started yesterday as one of my oldest friends in Pattaya, Boon, was also having a Birthday and I had been threatened by more than a few of my friends at Cherry Bar on Soi 8 that I had better show up so we can celebrate together. I’m not really sure if getting hammered into submission qualifies as celebrating but by the time I watched the sunrise I felt more like a nail than a human.
My bestest friend Neng, not to be confused with Ning, Whom I have known for 6 years made sure that I had a very wonderful birthday complete with cake and great friends. I want to thank everyone at Cherry Bar for a great night and a great Birthday…Now I’m wondering what trouble I will get into tonight 
Anyway, I thought I would share some of the pics from last night/this morning.
The Birthday girl Boon
My Best Friend Neng…She’s a sweetheart

The Pig ( not a good night for him )

Happy birthday Talen/Tim…wow what a cake, low fat no doubt! Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. Strawberry tequila? I’m never going near tequila again, I don’t care what flavour it is
PS. you HAVE to look at my last post, hint, hint.

Woohoo! Sorry, I missed it Talen. I’ll buy you a HB drink next time.
Looks to me like there’s some new staff at Cherry Bar. And it also looks to me like you could have had a very good time, if you can remember
As for photos, I want to see the ones you didn’t publish

Rick, it was fun but Thursday night at Kiss was triple the fun
I might have to charge money to see the unpublished shots 
Nice to see Hammer still running the bar. Hard to believe it’s been almost 4 years since I’ve been there. I went on a few of his famous bar crawls back in ’07 and had a great time. Then I met my honey in ’08 and that was pretty much the end of that
Anyway Happy Birthday Talen!
Rambone, Adam always hosts a good bar crawl…I’ve been on a scouting mission or two with him through the years and they are even more fun.
Happy birthday
Thanks Dan
Happy Birthday Talen, you’re right about that Adam guy, he looks like a really bad influence.
Thanks Lawrence, Adam is a bad influence but I am also easily persuaded…
A belated HBD Talen,
Guess the best pictures are kept under wraps
Looks like a fun night out!

Lani, That’s just wrong…you just wait till I get my new wheel chair ya young whippersnapper…I’ll run ya down, if I can remember it.
I haven’t talked to you in a couple years. We’re both the same age, and I’m a grandfather now.
Tell me that doesn’t make you feel old. It sounds like your having the time of your life in Thailand.
I’m happy for you Tim. When you get a minute
drop me a line. Meanwhile, enjoy yourself, and keep writing. I enjoyed reading your stories.
Hope to hear from you soon
