Posted this amazing piece of Video over on the Facebooks, but I like it so much I thought I’d post it here as well. I think Florian Böhm, the creator the video, is an expat here in Bangkok as well. Have a look for now, and Tom has a podcast brewing in the kettle…..will be recording later today babies!

How Long is Temporary?
February 26th, 2011
Posted in freaks, Random Thoughts, Self Analysis, Thailand
Helloooooooooooo! Anyone still out there? Given up on the Tom in Thailand? I sincerely hope not, but I wouldn’t blame you considering the months…yes i realize it’s been months…..since you’ve heard even a peep from me. Several of you guys have made the effort to send along email of concern and support over the past few months and I really want to thank you for thinking of me and for your caring support in my absence.
A lot has happened since i last talked to you guys in October, and I’ve come quite close to going into the Libsyn a few times to delete the account…..but have never been able to bring myself to go through with it just yet. I’ve still got a voice….and i’ve still got things to say i guess, so I wanted to sit down today and say that the T.I.T. podcast is not gone away just yet. The absence is just temporary, and I will do my best to explain the long absence when i sit down over the next few days to clear the cobwebs and dust from the studio.
Again, thanks for all the support and much love as always from Thailand!
