Hold the press!

**I read quite a few blogs trashing the expat life saying things like: You'll become a drunk or druggie. You'll catch a disease. Your woman will leave you. You'll never get medical care. Medical care sucks overseas. They'll find you dead and the list goes on seemingly forever.

Do you see the bubble in that tire?

 That bubble didn't just occur, that's an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) defect.
If you begin to drink heavily, drug and chase prostitutes, that's your, "OEM".

 You had a defect before you left from where ever.

 Obviously weak minded, weak willed, the new pressures pushed "your" original defect to the surface.
 You wanted to do all of the previously mentioned before you arrived at your destination.

 However, it's very convenient to blame it on a neighborhood, city, state or country.

 I drank and drank heavy for years and now I can take a drink or leave it - I prefer to leave it, makes me sick.

 My drinking came from my "own" unresolved issues. No I didn't pray, no I didn't complete some state sponsored program and the only thing AA did was encourage me to buy a bottle.
Grown men and women talking about they had no control as if they were possessed.....uck.

 If you're going to travel across the street, you take "you" with you and guess what... You'll be waiting for "you" when you get there.

 Man up and be responsible for yourself as well as your actions.

 And one last thing about expatriating, it's going to show what "you're" really made of. If you were a candy coated blow pop, your sugary outside is going to melt and you're going to get chewed up.

 9 times out of 10, a man or woman that drops and fails out here was dropping and failing where they were previously at.
 It may have taken a bit of wisdom to get straightened out "before" you left. There's very little mercy in foreign countries and if you're needy, stay where you're at!

 The last thing guys like myself need is to hear another whiny, incompetent American wuss's sob stories

 Perhaps you're in luck, mommy may have kept your black light poster, lava lamp and twin sized bed in the basement, call her.
