tominthailand's Podcast http://tomofthailand.wordpress.com Another great podcast hosted by LibSyn.com en tgrogan@gmail.com Liberated Syndication - libsyn.com podcasts@libsyn.com (Liberated Syndication) Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:08:00 GMT 180 Tom in Thailand Right...where to start? Well, I'm a 34 year old gay guy currently living and working in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm very far from home as I grew up in the state of Alabama in the US. Now, before you even start to wonder...yes, I do have a bit of an accent, but over the years of living abroad it has changed from syrupy sweetness you usually hear when a southerner from the US opens their mouth. I left Alabama behind and have made my home in Bangkok for almost 7 years now. I have a career in education, and perhaps will go into that more in depth as time goes by. While living in Bangkok, I also have had the pleasure (rolling my eyes) of attending graduate school at an International University here...Sooooo, my life usually keeps me on the go more than I really want. So, having said that, Iââ¬â¢m not really sure if I've got some grand message to get out there per say, but i thought this might be a good way to relearn to express myself again verbally and maybe share my experiences with the world. So, I'm always open to new friends and therefore please question, message, or comment to me and will look forward to getting to know you! "I still haven..t accepted that this is my life. And I just wish that I could be dumb. And then I wouldn..t know better and I could be happy and stop hoping for a better one." from Drew Barrymore in Riding in Cars with Boys... gay, lesbian, queer, Thailand, Tom in Thailand tgrogan@gmail.com Tom in Thailand http://libsyn.com/podcasts/tominthailand/images/tominthailand.jpg tominthailand's Podcast http://tomofthailand.wordpress.com Yes T.I.T.
