dear sunil

....my readers think i am this gluttonous 'anorexic' pig scouring the world in hopes of depeleting the world of food not by ingesting but by taking pictures.  Little do they have full grasp of the man who started it all...."mr food" inspiration himself....(barring carbs)...you.  1.5 years of travels and 'dear sunil posts', i will continue to write to you....posting more food pictures to make you jealous, haha, in 'overpopulated asian countries where people sleep underwater and on top of each other'...it's funny how old that line is....back then u used it against the ur "2cool4school ASIAN suitemate"....when ur inspiration was derived from the world of 'HIGH FINANCE and STERN'...and while the irony is thick with your career path, it's not as ironic as the career path i've taken the past few years...and with me trying to figure out how it all began..."it just might all go back to you, and just as you've preached, the world revolves around you and the ugliest gold zippo ever".....i'll pray for you my good man. stay strong, stay healthy, stop smoking...and most of all keep it real....jack and diet cokes all around....this one's for you.  CHEERS.
