2010 - I cannot think of a better way to conclude my Nepali
extravaganza than by flinging myself off a bridge.....twice. First
was a bungy followed by a canyon swing, brought to you by the Last
Resort. It was radical, bra. You can see by the video that I
really crushed that s#$t!!
After
my adrenaline rush I passed my time relaxing at the resort......which
was lovely. I even made some new friends, four medical students from
the UK (three females, one male). They were taking a break from their
three week surgical internship in Nepal. We got along well and they
appeared to appreciate my brand of potent sarcasm. Either that or
they were merely tolerating me, found me annoying, and are discussing
how much of a D-bag I am at this very moment. Hard to tell.
We
laughed. We cried. Emotions ran deep. We watched Harry
Potter in High Def Helium (there was an issue with the DVD
player's audio) and had long thoughtful discussions on a myriad of
topics where I acquired new vocab words and phrases like 'crease',
'thrush', 'the squirts' and 'D-bag'. I met a man with three first
names: Micheal Paul John. I was fortunate enough to have my five year
plan laid out for me which will culminate in my adoption of a
'everything is beautiful just lay back and enjoy no need to get
angry' attitude, the sporting of dreadlocks, the wearing of robes,
and the tattooing of the word 'LOVE' and its translation into as many
languages as will fit on my back. The 'new' Rich is coming. Brace
yourself.
you are a madman, and without any hesitation... swan dive off of a perfectly good bridge. awesome
