He was dozing, so I couldn't talk to him. I had seen him twice before. Once, through a glass door inside his house, and the other time, also in this alley, but he was also immobile, with his eyes closed.
I hadn't even noticed he was white until I processed this photo. With his tattoos, I actually thought he was some old Vietnamese gangster! Viet tatts, though, were rather crude until very recently.
I was reading your post from today (or yesterday) about older, whore-banging, out-of-luck foreign men "jumping" to their deaths from balconies in Pattaya, Thailand, and thought about this guy. Hopefully I'm wrong. You never know for sure who has and who doesn't have the strong will to live.
I was reading over some of your older, American, material that you linked to in your last few posts: Dude, you're talented. It's a real treat to read about your experiences, your thoughts, and your ideas.
Thanks, man. I mean, I was an anthologized author, and not just some blogger for semi literates at Unz.
Anyway, some Unz moron just got upset at SubStack because I simply asked him and another guy to cool it. My exact words:
"Ok, guys, let's just cool it. Let's get back to discussing the many issues raised in the article. Thanks!--Linh"
That set him off. His response:
"I thought I was. You mean putting Mr. Indignant in his place doesn't meet your exacting standards, oh ye who constantly rips on Ron Unz and the Mighty Jews? Fuck you, you self-important hypocrite. Unsubscribe."
What the fuck is wrong with these people?! And he was an unpaid subscriber. Yeah, I'm really going to miss him...

photo and caption kind of sums it all up
That's one hell of a shot Linh. I hope you also got his name and his story to go along with this excellent image.
Hi Martin,
