Transbayism


Last night was the night everyone likes to get drunk, celebrate. Funny how the change of a digit can affect one so much....

I did not get drunk, nor even have a drink. I did stand near the San Francisco fireworks and I did see friends. Although I did not do that which I had planned, which was going to my dear friend Pamela Grewal's family's party in Newark (East Bay).

I missed dancing with Indian grandmothers, Pamela, Angie, Mo, and countless others, including Pamela's parents. Of course I learned important lessons last night. I learned that you cannot let the distance of the bay get in the way of a fantastic voyage. The distance and rigor of a trip or activity sometimes measure its grandeur and goodness.

But I will not wallow away in regret; I will simply live my life better after having learned my lessons.

I spent my New Years home with a person i thought i would never see again. My friend and i planned to go to Moscow for the 31st. I wanted to see MG there. Last minute we returned the tickets because she couldn't go. I was heart broken. Instead a completely different person also from Moscow came to celebrate the New Year with me. The thing is that we never know, Ted. And sometimes i wish i knew. So that i could run away and hide. perhaps from my own self.
