It’s true that we all must make a choice in what is important to us. It’s like cleaning your drawer, you throw away what’s not needed and you keep what you think is useful. Even with friends. It doesn’t make sense to keep those that don’t put importance in what you have. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been friends. Sometimes it’s better off living a separate path.
You can say I’m a rat pack. I tend to keep things that I don’t even use or need. Bags of unopened mails, old correspondences, statements, non-working speaker, three of the same battery chargers (I only need one!), name it and I probably kept it. I spent all of Friday night going through things in my room while I sip on some whiskey. Next thing I know I had three garbage bag full of things that I threw away.
I had a little party on Saturday night. I want to say thank you to everyone that made an effort to see me and to party one last time before I leave. It was a success – I was trashed by the end of the night. And thank you to all that was able to make it for dim sum. Everyone knows RJ heart dim sum. It’s such a great sunny day to be in Chinatown having dim sum with great friends.
On the way to dim sum, as we were already running late, the muffler came off my friend Jon’s car that Krack is borrowing while Jon travels. It’s probably one of the funniest moments that I have been part of lately. First, Krack tried to ignore the noise that’s becoming more apparent as we drove by turning the music louder. After the creaking noise got even louder especially in the back seat where Matt and I were, Krack decided to exit the 101 and parked at the residential neighborhood. We all got out of the car and the muffler was hanging by a thread. We all thought that the muffler is going to be hot. Krack got half a bottle water inside the car as if it’s going to make the muffler less hot. He then opened the trunk and found dirty underwear that Hang used to hold the muffler. The muffler was not hot. It hasn’t been connected to anything for a long time. It’s just there for looks for which it finally came off. That’s why the car is making a noise as if it was a “racer” car. Let me tell you it’s not.
Ah, it hit me today that I’m leaving. Yes, in two days! I’m going to miss all my friends and family. But I’m sure I’ll see them again. Either I see them in NY or when I come back to LA (I don’t know when that will be). I actually started getting a bit nervous. It’s normal I think. All I know is whatever I’m feeling, I’m sure I will be fine.
