I thought he was still in rehab? He is a great reason WHY people should, if they choose, use the alternative "SWIM" when describing themselves.
Ahh, the last piece is about his being ok, that is good. He is actually my personal inspiration in using all my personal info on this and other sites. He (along with Crystal AKA MAria Callas) is my personal inspiration for my BL Journal (even though Journals are lost in the ether), and perhaps for my current BL Blog.
His reports not only were anal retentive about his drug use and exploration, in a death ppenalty SE Asian country (as I am as well, in just such a country, actually only a ferry ride away from him). some as^hole read his Blog and reported him to authorities there, and he ended up in a State Mandatory Rehgab and they are nothing like Western type programmes mind you. He could have been caned.
2 strokes and your skin splits a few cms deep, it is utterly painful and disfiguring and thanks to G-D he did not go through that.
the part that really used to get me going though were his anal retentive reports on food. He lives in a nation that has 3 major ethnicities, Chinese (many different Chinese groups), Indian, and Malay. All 3 have their own cusinese as well as the more homogenised national cuisine which is absolutely fabulous.
Me on the othe rhand? I live in a country that has heavy Chinese and Spanish heritages and no real foods from either one! Local food is the pits. My labourers actually eat roadkill so you can imagine the quality of cusine here (no offence to my adopted country of course but dammit it is true!).
I LOVE food. Sixthseal, whom I used to call alternatively "7th Seal" and "6th Sense" when talking about him meticulously photographed all foods when he ate out, which was often because he travelled widely for is IT job.
When I opened the Forum I was so happy to see his name, but saddened when I saw it was a thread by Diacetylus since it was then that I realised it is a very old thread (Diacetylus is dead RIP).
