The Picture Dilemma

All my damned plans are falling through, damn it.

Anyway.

I was thinking about putting up pictures of the Bangkok trip. Despite having a mild case of ****itis throughout the trip (like hearing my handphone ring every day even though I wasn't actually carrying it), I actually looked happy in the photos. Especially when I'm clutching various contraband wildlife to my chest with the "mine!" face.

I wonder if that's such a good idea though. On one hand I can look at the pictures and get away from the confines of this space for a while, away from the sterility of the chilled air and the insistent whirring/tapping/humming/ringing noises of faxes, keyboards, computers, telephones, and go to where the air is heavily scented with flowers and fruit and food and smog.

But on the other hand, anonymity gives one the ability to write more honestly, I think. Re-minisce and April certainly seem to think so (although Adrock appears to feel completely uninhibited by his lack of anonymity, merrily posting pictures of his nekkid ass, more power to him. No, I'm not giving you a direct link to his butt. Go find it yourself.)

Or maybe I'm just still traumatized by the Young Steven incident, and the fact that the last time I posted my Maldives photos there were some weird-ass Google searches that led to this site. (I suspect they got lifted and put on some strange Asian fetish bikini site) Plus, it's too damn easy to fuck around with someone's pictures (and yeah, I know what I'm talking about).

An opinion, anyone?
