quick entry

i got back a couple of days ago from my trip to east asia, and am finally getting around to posting an update here. the trip was amazing, and i cant wait to go back for a longer period of time. but before i can do that, ive got to finish up school.

also havent heard back about my contract at fidelity. apparently they dont make these decisions very quickly. oh well. i can finally play some video games. thats why im up till 5 am this morning. :)

fufu is back from italy, and i get to hang out with her tomorrow night. im totally stoked. its been at least 6 months since she took off, and shes back in boston for a couple of days. such a nice surprise.

i also did a lot of writing on this trip, and tried my hand at some psalm type writings. my prayers have sometimes been coming out a bit like poetry, so ill post one in a day or two. some of the writing ive done recently will never be posted here, because i dont want any people to be upset about some of the things that are written. and some are just really personal. if you are really interested, drop me an email or an IM and i can send you some of them.

the two that i have posted already are called the next track and i wonder.

the next track is written about an experience on a road trip a couple of years back. i looked back, smiled, and decided to put words to the memory. i like the result, but i might do some work on it in the future.

i wonder may be my favorite thing ive written in a while. i broke up with my first serious girlfriend at the beginning of this past september, and its taken me a while to feel like im fully over the whole thing. now that i have reached that stage (do you ever really get over a Someone?), i decided to write about something nice that i remember from it. here is an excerpt:

nothing more than
memories
put into words
a lament
for things that once
might have been

i think thats the part i like best. lemme know what yall think.

it has been good to see a lot of you again now that i made it back to boston, but i now have a whole crew i miss from east asia. but such is life. enjoy the good parts of where you are at, and look forward to the future when you may enjoy another part of life. but never dwell on the future or the past. its the present where life is.
