More Wasabi Please

Song of the moment: Foo Fighters - The Pretender

Here I am again, in Detroit. The fun never ends. I already want to go home! This is surely an indication this is going to be a long week.

So I went out with my co-workers for dinner tonight - felt like Japanese so we headed to Benihanas. Not the best Japanese food but it satisfied the craving. As I was eating the mediocore sushi I realized I eat my sushi with a lot of wasabi. Well, a lot more wasabi than I used to eat it with. And it made me realize how much I've changed. It's funny how sometimes you think you havn't change, that you're the same person as you were a few years ago. In most cases, these minor changes in our live goes unnoticed. But they do add up.

Despite all these changes, I also realize my principles have remained the same. And I see this through the friends that I've kept in touch with. Most of my closest friends that I hang out with on a semi-regular basis are all from highschool. Heck, the love of my life is one of my highschool friends. We usually stick with friends that have similar morals and principles - it's who we get along with best. The fact that I still have friends from my childhood speaks volumes.

Makes me feel that even though we are getting older, even though we've been somewhat jaded by our experiences in life, we still have that spark we all had in highschool. And to not lose that - that's the true gift of youth.

I hope I feel this way forever :)
