PETER PIPER WHO GOT HIS PICKLE PEPPERED

This is a true story from my brother’s wedding weekend. I hope you can find some humor in it, because at the time I couldn’t…

So tonight my brother’s finance’s family came over for dinner. As they came over I was eating a pepper I had picked out of the garden. Before I ate it, I sliced the sucker open and scrapped out all the seeds. I ate it no problem and they stood around talking and meeting everyone.

At a lull in the conversation I went to the bathroom to pee. It didn’t even occur to me that I should wash my hands before I put my pepper juiced hands all over my pecker.

I walked out of the bathroom still no problems and continued on socializing. Then slowly like a fire ant from hell my willy and surrounding sack lit up like the heat only a bonfire in death valley could produce. I stopped talking. I stopped smiling. My expression quickly turned to panic.

I got short with my mom when she asked me to run something out to my dad on the grill. I quickly completed that task and ran inside to my phone where I consulted Google on how to ease the burn that I only assumed could be cured by chopping my ramburgler off.

I found several Yahoo answer threads written in all caps pleasing for a solution before the author’s would say something along the lines of, “HELP ME BEFORE I KILL MYSELF!!!” Being in the same situation and feeling the pain I couldn’t help but crack a slight smile despite the discomfort.

Unfortunately, for me the only solution to this problem seemed to be dipping my schlong into some cold milk. So seeing this as my only option, I walked back into the kitchen with a strained smile on my face and poured a glass of milk promptly to take back with me to the bathroom.

In the bathroom I submerged and splashed my woohoo until I could feel the heat start to disapate. It felt so good while submerged, but I quickly realized this releif was only temporary. I had to go back out of the bathroom. So I flushed the milk down and tried my best to keep it together in front of company.

At another break in socializing, maybe 10 minutes later, I gunned it for my parents bathroom as the pain simply was not subsiding. Here I doused my Johnson with as much baby powder as could fit in my pants.

The rest of the night went as good as one could imagine. I suppressed my hell raised longfellow and tried to be cordial. But seriously it started to go away after 45 minutes and I kind of forgot about it, but I will never forget the lesson I learned tonight.

So fellas let this be a warning. Wash your hands before peeing if you’ve dealt with something spicy. You will want to chop your Peter off or at the very least scrub it with some whole milk.

START OF THE JOURNEY

People kept asking if I was going to do videos or write about my travels. I guess I’m not a huge fan of posting a bunch of things to social media, so this is my solution. This is my space to explain what I’m up to.

I am leaving for Vietnam October 5th.

Most people already know, especially since my mom likes telling everyone and their brother. For those who don’t the news is I’m leaving. I bought a one-way plane ticket to Vietnam. How long will I be gone? Not sure. As long as I want to or feel I need to be. Mom says be home for Christmas, but we’ll see….

Another thing people might not know is that I’m done with college. Yes, it only has been three years. I graduated earlier. How? Lots and lots of credits and hard work. In my eyes, that means I have an extra year on everyone else. This is pretty much free time! So I plan on making the most of it. That’s what I’m starting a little South East Asia adventure. I’m leaving October 5th because my brother, Jon’s wedding is September 30th and I should probably be there. After that there are no commitment and no plans for me. Nothing tying this man down!!!

What am I going to do in Vietnam?

Vietnam isn’t the end goal. In fact, I really only plan on using it as a launch pad for the rest of my adventure. I got a cheap flight in. $330 for a one-way ticket in. I reckon I will probably not spend that much time in the country. I’ll explore Ho Chi Minh city where I fly into, but after that it’s off to Cambodia.

Cambodia will be a good adventure and I plan on seeing the big sights there like the famous Ankor Wat and the somber killing fields as well. After that it’s on to Thailand. This is the main goal. Part of the selection of SE Asia started because of my enamorment of Muay Thai. It’s pretty much kick boxing and is considered a martial art to some. I just think it’s really cool so I’ll be trying to train in that. We’ll see how long that lasts. I love the idea of fighting, but I realize is an extremely brutal sport. It is immensely popular and Thailand and many boys, from a young age, give their lives to the sport in order to earn money for their families. Fortunately, I have been greatly blessed and that isn’t the hand I’ve been dealt. Really what I am saying is that it might be foolish for me to want to fight. That won’t stop me from training and learn the techniques. Where that takes me? Only time will tell…

Other Objectives.

Of course number one is satisfy my need of adventure!! After that it’s probably just experience the real culture and try to stretch my money as far as it will go. To do this I will likely settle in the cheaper northern city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Here I will train Muay Thai and likely rent an apartment. Being in this location accomplished another goal of getting involved in mission work. The church body I am apart of, the WELS, started a congregation in this city years ago. Now, the congregation is on it’s own and able to support itself. Hopefully I can use my talents to benefit the congregation there while at the same time strengthening my own faith. Lastly, I want to met and learn from expats who are living these unique lifestyles of traveling and working abroad. I’m curious how a lot of them support themselves through online businesses and other ventures.

I hope this is a good start to my blogging and I will continue updating it regularly. Thanks for reading!
