WELCOME BACK TIGER!

By Rafael Marcelo Arteaga

Tiger is back for the first time since his private life unraveled and since being exposed as a serial philanderer and undergoing sex-addiction treatment.

-What?!

-Sex-addiction treatment? How is that possible!

-Do not worry, we're far away from the moralistic America. Here is Pattaya, hell and paradise for single travelers! Nobody can stop here your sexual addiction!

-Sure?

-Well...I understand...our morality is too white and pure to talk about it.

Even if you are gay or not

even if you like the great ass of your best friend's wife or lady boys

even if you do not know what is an fucking orgasm.

Not talk about that.

This is not done, unless if you're Tiger Woods, or the world is upside down.

Be careful, do it and be quiet.

These are the parts of your life, no less important but still full of mystery, as some gods in Asia with many faces and many arms. Which face is for you wife, which one for your children? Which is your face when you are alone in your room?

Which is the face we are judging Tiger Woods?

-Our freshly washed side for our children, of course!

Or maybe with the dark, evil (and afraid for us) side of our lives.

 

Anyway, Tiger is playing again. at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta National Golf Club.

Nothing will be as before, he knows it. The world press and all at all the view of his family is on the air. He still looks strong enough but no one suspecting the jangled nerves he felt.

"To be out there in front of the people, where I have done some things that are just horrible, and for the fans to really want to see me play golf again ... I mean, that felt great," Woods said Monday. "That really did."

What about his sex-addiction treatment?  He refuses to go into details about the therapy but there was a touch of humility and patience in his voice during a 35-minute press conference. I was very happy to watch him again on television in the bar, surrounded by foreign girls and whores doing anything to arrange a client and some dollars for tonight.

"I need to be a better man going forward than I was before," he says. "And just because I've gone through treatment doesn't mean it stops. I'm trying as hard as I possibly can each and every day to get my life better and better and stronger. And if I win championships along the way, so be it."

It was a solid start in the process of restoring his image.

It is midnight. The atmosphere in the bar gets more interesting. Sweet is the sea life!

-Do not see too much, bawls Moon, draining his Shinga beer. And everywhere girls and more girls. Choose the one you like! -He says it determined. My god, everything becomes nice hot here.

Woods did not say what kind of treatment he received during 45 days of therapy.

And again his words almost without looking at the cameras, as if speaking to his wife: "All I know is I acted just terribly, poorly, made just incredibly bad decisions, and decisions that have hurt so many people close to me. That's enough."

But not completely satisfied with this and perhaps not interested in the press, but the reaction to the other side of the television, where his home is destroyed at the moment, he adds: "And that hurts — that hurts a lot," Woods said. "I vowed I would never miss another one after that. I can't go back to where I was. I want to be a part of my son's life and my daughter's life going forward and I missed his first birthday. That was very hard that day and something I regret, and I probably will for the rest of my life."

The great golfer of all time, almost a god for me, has put his feet on the ground. He stripes his selfishness and becomes more human. Almost people are confused. There is a uncomfortable silence around him and also here in Patayya bar, although for girls and lady boys is a fucking horn that Tiger admits to the world.

There are estimated to be around 40,000 girls in the pay for sex industry in Pattaya! They come here from all parts from Thailand, but from Laos too, Cambodia, Vietnam... .

"Go, Tiger!" -I shout out. What happened is his personal business, and we're out to see him as a professional. Moon says: live today and tomorrow we'll see again, perhaps we will have our sense of guilt, but we are not Tiger Woods, and that's good. I was agreed. I enjoy being away and be anonymous. Yes, the faces of our lives.

Woods remained calm and unemotional throughout the press conference.

"It was to take a hard look at myself" he told to the world reporters. "And I did, and I've come out better. I'm certainly a much better person for it than I was going in."

"Unfortunately, what I've done over the past years has just been terrible to my family,"

 You don’t need to be an expert to identify a lady boy. In fact, even the experts are fooled sometimes!

The press conference is over. Again the bar. My god, I must be strong  this night!!

 "Hi, Rafael, when was the last time you got an AIDS test? "
I overshoot just looking back. When was it? -Moon smiles and adds:
-Are you worry?
-Me...?
-If you are afraid do not to leave home, it is the best you can do.

-But I am looking. Just looking!
-After arriving in Shanghai back, we can visit le Castratis bar. There are o lot of them in China.
-What do you mean?-Just that. I am not sure if the owner knows the meaning of this word, (is of Latin origin?), however the coffees are very famous there, and are visited by serious business men, tireless executives, with their respective young and nice ladies, of course, concerned to think how to become rich so quickly, and have no time, as we or Tiger, in thinking about how to fuck a blond or brunette girl in every town you arrive and stay for a while.

And it was too much for me. -Moon, please stop..!! But I have a lot of beers in my head.The rest is just a game of mirrors with our faces inside of them.
