My blog post about my trip to
Oslob, “The Most Fun You Can Have without a BJ or Weed,” is so incendiary (and true) that Malcolm and
most other readers are stunned by it; not only its risqué undertone but also its
writing about an enviable holiday shied away from. I shared it on Bored Panda internationally in addition
to Taichung Journal locally to
Facebook groups and in e-mails to friends and family not using social media.
Malcolm saw it early yesterday morning but didn’t comment after I texted some
questions about details and reminded him I wouldn’t share it until he approved
since it refers to him often. I take his no response as a ‘yes.’ Even Simone
didn’t respond out of a haughty disgust not unlike Suzanne who was sent and won’t
respond, I guarantee you. My writing often gets right to the soft white underbelly
of life; see how the CIA guru wannabes in Taiwan responded to my articles about
Hobo Happiness and Indigenous in Taichung Park; they were too arrogant to be
speechless and tried to insult my writing because they knew it was what they’re
not capable of. With this piece, I give little people like these an excuse not
to like me. Arlen and Jim Drieu liked it as did Joshua Dent from the Kaohsiung Writing Workshop, probably the
only one there who will admit it’s well written. I will send Mary and Tripadvisor
a G rated version.I told Leona about the blog during lunch saying that I asked Simone if she wanted to read the R or G rated version; she chose the R. Leona asked what the R was and I told her the title. “Don’t worry,” I said, “I didn’t get a blowjob.” But she didn’t get the message either; that I wanted a blowjob from her before I actually go and get one.
