wisdom beyond years...

I have this one nephew, it's funny that he talks so much. But he's studying Chinese. I took chinese for the same reason that he did. It was the closest I could come to taking a language that was closest to my culture in College. He's doing it at about 10 years younger than I even did. I actually never got a chance to meet anyone who was the same group as myself in college. I think it would have changed the dynamics of college. first year's of college roomate was a ambigously gay Spanish-American, thinking that RanMa was actually a girl, years later I discovered that Ranma 1/2 is a hermaphrodite, more or less because I was confused by what that anime was about. I can only think 10 minutes at a time. Quite possibly turned me off of Anime for some years until I discovered a movie called Ninja Scroll which was a back to basics kind of hero, villian, damsels, and such. I pretty much hung out with all the Queens chinese-american students. I've lost touch with them, It'll be somewhat freaky to run into them again on the street. It seems that I get stopped every year by someone on the street whom I haven't kept in touch with. But hey, this area is a small place anyway. Also trying to locate one Taiwanese girl from Queens but with no luck. We spent a New Years smoking stogies, and almost got tattoos, but I chickened out because I didn't want a saggy symbol of my youth. I'm not a fan of tattoos anyway. Sadly people at work thought we were sleeping together, probably due to our frank conversations about movies, eateries and cultural differences, so I was slightly perturbed by this comment and it most likely affected our friendship, and probably the fact that I programmed out her job to a computer made it worse even more. I wished I had helped her out more, then I could have been canned and moved to New York back in good old 2000 and she could press the enter key all day long. But sometimes I think that there is some strange fates at work, I'll just leave it at that.
I did bulk up quite a bit, and my bench press was way up to 250lbs or so because I was at work working smarter instead of harder and longer so I had more free recreational time to pursue lifes lovely mysteries. I couldn't work out at Bally's anymore because I couldn't get anyone to spot me anymore. I went back to the college gym and had to endure seeing this girl every week and her roomates. It was not fun... I think she dumped me because both her roomates liked me, not sure to what extent for one, but the other liked me quite a bit, which made for an ackward Haloween because I assumed we weren't dating anymore and upset her when I got into her roomies car. Probably all for the better. I think she wanted me to like her eventually so she could be the one to dump me, in a strange universe, I think she didn't forgive me for walking to her friend's car even though it was after she said she only wanted to be friends. Somewhere, someone has a picture of me sitting in a haunted hay ride drinking some yocal beer. I will deny this existence to all my city and Jersey friends as proactively as a certain someone denies being awol in the reserves.
I'm going to lie to my children and tell them I lived here all my life.
