Yep not for everyone.

Would love to know where these volcanoes are…You live in Japan correct?[/quote]
Indonesia, for the most part, although Japan certainly has its fair share. Mt. Fuji, of course, is a dormant (no longer considered extinct) volcano, which I have climbed no less than five times.
Up until recently you could read an account of the time I climbed Gunung Marapi, the most active volcano in Sumatra, right here on this site (Lost in Tiger Country). Unfortunately, the powers-that-be seem to have reorganised the site in such a way that that article is no longer available at the URL it always has been at.[/quote]
Beautiful. I spent a lot of time around Jakarta and Bogor (Java) and even a few nights in Lombok in 2010. I would love to go back to Indonesia sometime. Right now I am looking closer to home for adventure. Sometime this year I am going to go up Mount Pinatubo (only a few hours from my house) and maybe next year I want to hike up Mount Apo in Mindanao.[/quote]
SJ, this is completely off the subject, but at some point I’d like to pick your brain a bit about the Kopassus, whom I have an inkling you got to know rather intimately during your “time around Jakarta and Bogor”.
A screenplay I’m writing (which was actually inspired by my stay in Bukittinggi and Marapi climb) features a Kopassus colonel, and being able to flesh out the character using anecdotes about actual officers would be priceless.[/quote]
Unfortunately, when I was there in 2010 they were still lifting the State Department ban on training with Kopassus. I did get a great opportunity to work with the PASPAMPRES and was integrated with them during the POTUS visit that year. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Now that PM is off how do we communicate thats not an open forum?[/quote]
By email, if you like. I just sent you one. :)[/quote]
Not sure where that email went. I hesitate to post an email address…I do have one that I am not using much for the time being
[/quote]
It went to the address listed on your CV.
No matter. My email address is in my hub, just after the quote by John Adams.

Just sent you an email. Its funny…I knew we knew each other online for awhile. But looking at my hub I see that we have known each other online for a long time. Funny.
Great read Varq, thank you.
I watch a few shows, I go places with my girl, I like to read as much as possible about subjects im interested in. Theology, mythology, training, boots and jackets and fashion (weird, i know, but an interest), the military and military conflicts. There’s more but those are the main ones.

Yes it was. Again thanks for sharing.
I have been thinking about revisiting my childhood and buying an RC car. Not one of those lame radio shack ones, one of these badasses:
I do stand-up comedy as a hobby.
It’s neat to get paid about 50 bucks US to tell jokes for ten minutes. If I could find a way to do that from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday I’d be as rich as Louis CK.

Same here. Never felt the desire to go, and have never been in a strip club. I know only one other dude personally who feels the same as I.

COunt me in. I’ve never been, and fine it rather disgusting.
If my chick wanted to go I would, but it has always been gross to me. I place street walkers and porn stars above strippers on the ranking scale.
Now that I have a daughter I’m even more adverse to going.
I don’t give a shit if other people go, and have waited for my buddies in the parking lot to drive their drunk asses home. (Called me for a ride at midnight, and made me sit in the parking lot until 2am, fuckers. Their peer pressure didn’t work.)

Haha. Same here. Turned down my best bud’s bachelor party because it was at a strip club.
My woman is all the stripping, nudity, and dancing I need. And it’s fucking free.

o_0…
You’re paying for it, one way or another. The only solace is you’re married so she is paying too, lol.
