nyc for h-dawg's bday

it's finally september. things are starting to slow down but that's as expected. i just came back from a much needed break. now i'm energized to finish up this season the right way. so me and zid went down to nyc over labor day weekend for harry's birthday. it's been a while since i last saw my college friends, probably years. sometimes i wish we could relive those allston street days. those were some good times. i remember waking up on saturday mornings, hungover and birds chirping near the windows. i would just go to the living room to watch some tv. as always from the night before, the living room table would be covered with empty beer bottles and chinese take-out. man, did we party like wild animals back in the days. as i would lay there on the couch flipping channels, i would just remember how the rest of the guys would slowly wake up from their drunken somber and convene in the living room. we were so young, energetic, and so eager to have fun. that's what i miss about allston street the most. it was those chats we used to have in the living room, where we would just shoot the shit and crack jokes about the funniest shit. i thought of this on our way down, and it made me even more excited to go see the boys. because of the traffic and our gambling urges, we decided to take a slight detour to foxwoods. though we both came out winners, i came to the realization that i really do suck at poker but fuckin' nasty in blackjack. we stayed for only a mere 3 hours and we left with smiles and a gambling high that would last until we arrived in nyc. we sped like speedy racer until we got to our destination at midnight. nyc is just as i remembered it: busy, unfriendly, and dark and bright at the same time. we went clubbing the first night. by the time me and zid actually got there, most of the guys were already fucked up beyond belief which proved to be a bummer. the club, however, was pretty decent.

the next few nights consisted of more or less the same stuff. sleeping in on the mornings. eating and shopping during the afternoons. on saturday night, we had a special steak dinner for harry's birthday. though times have fast forwarded like 4 years later, it's really good to know we can still chill like old times. just chilling and talking with them made me realize how much they have changed since allston. i mean, some of them are already married, expecting, and buying houses. hahaha...while i heard all this, i just sat there thinking...wow i'm not changed at all. though i had a really fun time in nyc, i drove back home with the realization that i need to get my shit together. anyway, i'll post a blog later about that. to my boys in nyc, good luck with the future and we'll meet up again to chill like old times for sure!!!
