Some people that are close to me (Nick, Chris, Ant, etc) might call me a bit of a control freak sometimes. Well, I am sure that I am sometimes.
From this post, we found out that our new aquaintence/friend, Ebong (very cool guy, hopefully we will be friends), knows the mystery woman, so she is a mystery no more.
Basically, he said that she has a 6′3″ Swede boyfriend who is a blackbelt in Karate…in others words, she is off the map. Or…..I can just see it now…
Not because I am sad. Nick and I were working our little tits off Saturday morning. We wanted to go to Ubud for a night and escape the heat of Kuta. It depended on a package arriving via global priority mail from Chris at BootsnAll HQ. Nick walked into Internet-Outpost at 12:30 p.m. and slapped the package down on my mouse. We were free, home free. Ubud here we come.
Nick quickly took off for the room to pack and I shut down and got ready to pay. As I waited for …
I'm struggling with which category to put this entry…
Nick and I went for a walk down by the Ocean yesterday arvo cuz I wanted to have a few Bintang’s near the ocean. We strolled into a Hotel because the sign said, “Happy Hour 25% Off”. We were sold.
The place was practically empty as we ordered 2 beers. Before too long, a lady came up to us and was looking me straight in the eye. She said,
As Nick just mentioned, I'm here. It's hot as….(you know the rest). First thing is a shower and the cybercafe since it is raining bigtime.
I feel pretty good having slept on the plane so Nick and I are gonna have a few beers tonight and start on our todo lists.
Title of entry is from the Eminem song, “Lose yourself”. I always wanted to use it in a blog post, now I have - peace out bunny rabbit)

“Well guys …….. it's different person. I spoke to the girl that i thought she was. But she said she hasn't been to global net for awhile, but surely same figure from behind with that pony tail and white top…… sorry though….. but hey Sean…go for it ….!!”
I spoke with ebong on the phone after reading this and he suggested taking the picture from the front next time. Good idea mate.
I was Yahoo chatting with Chris this morning, and he asked,
“Are you still in Ubud?”
Well, no we are not. In fact, when he asked me (Tuesday morning Bali Time) we had been back for 2 days already. Sorry if we did not make that clear. We spent 1 night (Saturday) in Ubud.
Nick and I pounded away on the keyboard this morning before taking off mid-day on a bus up to Ubud. It is about 12 miles the way the crow flies and up in elevation a little bit.
The cooler temperatures are comforting to us and we already did the biggest tourist spot in Ubud. Monkey Temples, oops, I mean Monkey Forest. For a second, I thought I was back in Kathmandu (that is where the Monkey Temple is). Both are very similiar. Aggressive sex crazed monkeys and photo snapping tourists (including us). These …
This evening Sean and I jumped into a cab and headed out to Jalan Dhyana Pura in Seminyak ( expat alley ) to a place called Santa Fe. It was one of the first places Jason and I went and features a variety of food. We arrived and sat at the bar, immediately cracked open a large Bintang and chatted with the bar staff. On the counter was a pump advertising another beer, Bali Hai. We had one each and thought it was the same as Bintang so carried on with that.
