The hallway into the arena was long and dark. I walked slowly, the crescendo of the crowd building. What had I gotten myself into? I was really nervous and scared. The Scotsman was very strong, and reputed to be a dirty fighter. That hold he had used on me, had basically paralyzed me, while he squeezed the hell out of my balls with that vice-like grip. Part...
*"But I do it for the kids, life threw the towel in on Every time you fall it's only making your chin strong And I'll be in your corner like Mick, baby, 'til the end Or when you hear a song from that big lady Until the referee rings the bell Until both your eyes start to swell Until the crowd goes home What we gonna do ya'll?"* Westley stood in front of t...

When I turned thirty, I decided to treat myself to a month in Thailand. Bangkok is like Third World Asia on steroids. A wild clash of dusty streets jammed with taxis and tuk tuks that veer off into tranquil and immaculate temple compounds.

Most modern conveniences had been destroyed between the accidental nuclear war and the mass retaliations that followed. The immortals and the few surviving humans were doing their best to rebuild the world but there was much debat...
