i went down to koh phangan, an island in the gulf of thailand, a backpackers paradise, for new year's eve. before i went out for the big celebration some thai dancers entertained the folks at my resort.

claire from france, me, dori from germany, niccola from england, and alex from france getting pumped up for midnight.

zac and camilla share a bucket. a bucket is evil. it's red bull, coke, and thai rum, mostly rum. they cost $3.75 and 10,000 brain cells. they taste good so you end up drinking 48 of 'em - and then the real cost kicks in - the hangover from hell.

steve and angela from england enjoy a bucket. later in the night steve and i would be locked in a drunken hug on the beach when a professional-sized firework exploded on the ground and shot right in between us. we dubbed ourselves "the chosen ones" and drank about 18 more buckets. each.

a self-portrait of a guy who wishes he was dead. this is about 5:00 in the morning on the beach on 1.1.2005. i was hoping someone would come by and put a spike in my forehead. i swore off buckets forever and didn't have one again for 4 days.
