yesterday, my fiancee and i took a stroll along 79th street, and an old friend from my freshman college days just stopped in my tracks and recognized me. (i was wearing my arizona baseball hat) and we just immediately hugged. i haven't seen her for like about 6 years or so. like me, she got engaged, too and has been living in big apple for the past four years. if you're reading this, alden, please do shoot me an email! i didn't realize that i didn't have your e-address :-(
on the other news, i've changed my mind and decided to join an expedition team to tibet on april 30th. so i'll be out of the country for the whole may. my friend who is getting hitched was very compassionate about this situation and understands this unique opportunity, and i'm relieved to have brought up this issue to my friend since i felt that i'd regret this decision for sticking with my friend for his wedding rather than grabbing this once a lifetime opportunity. i was glad to have such a wonderful, understanding friend like him grasping of my spontaneous way of life. i hope to bring something ever hallowed gift from tibet for him and his financee.
for post card inquiries from tibet, please do e-mail me your mailing address and i'll try to get them out of tibet to you.
Friends are one of the best things you can have in this world. Everyone needs a special friend or few with whom they can discuss everything and be themselves. Sometimes friends disappear for some reason, and we wonder why. We still feel the need to communicate. Such was the case with me, John. He had touch with his special friend and asked me to compose a verse that he could send, hoping it help bring his self together. Don’t lag your time away from blogs in the future! ;-)~
This simply amazes me
That I think about you so
Sometimes when I wake up
You're on my mind gung ho.
No matter what you look like now
I wonder if it's a good sign
Or if I should depart.
You're deep in my heart
I guess it's that I miss you so
And knowing not what to do
Maybe you're just really scared to go outer world
Nor to see me and talk anew.
Whatever way you feel
I think 'tis good to get it out on adventure
Please let's get together in good timing of crossing in our life.
Perhaps we'll have dinner or carry-out, like colleague roommates.
I know we'll laugh and have some fun
we both need that for sure
Give me a call when you get a chance within one piece
for a friendship like ours will definitely endure!
thanks for the word. see ya soon then.
