"just order a bunch of stuff" - mc80.

why does old age equate to waking up early.  the internet tells me it's a bunch of health and hormonal reasons.  just a complicated rationale for aging cuz old age waking up early equates to old age sleeping early.  and that's what happened to me this past weekend at the bar.  at midnight, i wanted to go home.  i wanted to leave libation, an unnecessarily loud lower east side establishment playing club hip pop for the weekend bridge and tunnel crowd draining the absolute life out of me.  i snuck out and went to eat a pizza instead.  i tried to stay out for one more but ended up just eating crif dogs. 

the problem with libation is that it's libation.  the only fond memory i have of that place is when victor, drunk-back-peddled into the line rope screaming "LETS GO TO LIBATION" a few times.  the guest list lady wasn't amused and immediately retorted "no you're not'.  that was libation in it's heyday.  today's libation, still horrible and still packed.  a few hours before that, beauty and essex wasn't much better and wasn't its heyday last year?  and before that, "the nomad" wasn't much better either.  a weird menu.  a weird seating layout.  a typical 2nd ave crowd.  and i blame the wine for making me feel miserable by the end of the night.

waking up early has its perks like the breakfast sandwich frank and i got from the cute korean girl at the deli the next day.  it's the only way to rationalize getting older.  because today, the word "maturity" has negative "boring" connotations created by my whole generation of delinquents postponing responsibility as long as possible.  although surprisingly when the time comes, as delayed as it is, i see my peers grow into their maturity.  they grow into that role, like growing into 'hand-me-downs', or buying ski equipment above your skill level, like putting on weight but carrying it well, like aging gracefully with greying hair.  people when ready, become fit for the next phase of their life.  and for those that are still stuck in limbo, it becomes a big part of dinner conversation.  and that's what eepie and i did at dinner, cuz if we didn't do it over dinner, i'd know nothing about her life.  that's her style, "i'll tell you in person" (which doesn't work when i'm in korea).  PS.  that laugh isn't as frequently loud anymore.  PROGRESS!!!  sung suh 2013.  

짠!
