it's like i'm back in college....

the beauty of living in new york is that after you've finished university and harnessed the full development of your partying "qi", you still live in close enough proximity where age and responsibility doesn't overcome the need to meet up and re-live or prolong your indulgent youth. in fact, with more disposable income, it's arguable that you perfect the art of debauchery post academia, and with the right support group of lush's, next day's pain @ the office is never the dagger in the will to party on! i had a conversation with louisa just yesterday about how californian life post academia changes drastically when maturity finds no rationale to overcome driving distance.

of course, i had to be the first to break the proximity equilibrium. of our group of friends from university whom all re-located from dorms to downtown area (due to subsidized rent), i left new york first. will followed me to asia 6 months later. and 4 years later, it seems hoan has also taken the plunge to philly (he's lucky cuz any excuse he can find he's back in ny, i hear)...nowadays, it's a rare occurrence to re-live these moments out in asia. however, since my most recent re-location out of singapore, i've upped the frequency of bumping into my ole mates, starting with larry last week and will this week.

8 days straight on the road. followed by 3 straight days of shopping. i decided to take 3 straight days off from the outdoors to stay in and reminisce with my macbook and my former roomate. 100% online, 100% drinking, 100% guitar, 100% devil may cry, 100% pizzam. it's like we're in college again.
