Finally time

Well I'm at work and have decided I'm done. As a reminder, insurance is the most boring business in the world and I'm pretty sure I'm dumber from lack of mental stimulation. It is incredibly important to have if something happens, but it's all data processing and numbers. Anyone who knows me understands that I need people and this is so hard for me to get used to.
Alot has been going on recently. First I'm working all day everyday for my parents. As referred to above you an see it's incredible. I'm really overwhelmed with excitement, but I guess it could be worse. I have absolutely no stress about it, just incredible sleep deprivation. I'll talk to Roshan or whoever until late at night, then after only a couple of hours someone in my family will wake me up and wonder why I have bags under my eyes all day.

So good things. I have seen a bunch of friends I haven't seen in awhile and have been having a great time with them.

Roshan had surgery on his knee on Tuesday and is in alot of pain. I wish I could be there to help him, but it's impossible because his mom is home. We're on break right now and things are abit awkward, we still talk regularly though so that helps maintain our "relationship". Boys are killin me right now, but I'm definitely learning alot about myself and others in the process. Ambition and spontaneity can make anything wonderful and "amusing".

I went into the city on Tuesday night and hung out with Dave and Theresa. I missed the concert but had a great time at the bar and after. Dinner was wonderful at the Renaissance Hotel? overlooking Times Square. I hadn't seen Theresa in awhile and she seems to be doing well. Dave is a piece of work. His encouragement definitely made my night.
Also, the wise words of the Indian cab driver really gave me an emotional boost, but set me up for alot of hurt. Hopefully I can go into the city again really soon. :)
Also about NY I met a couple of real characters. First while waiting in Grand Central this nice man came up to me and talked to me for about a half hour about life, love, success, and basically all there is. He has lived in Europe and in the United States and was contemplating the meaning of life when my approachable smile encouraged him to tell me his life story. I didn't mind I love hearing people especially unexpected encounters. He was dressed in a business suit with crew cut light gray hair. He had piercing blue eyes and pink Irish skin. He was a universally handsome man and was very intelligent. He had a law degree and a MBA. he started his own company called Blackthorne Corp I think which supposedly aids in arbitration between big companies by presenting the important concepts of the interests in multimedia format. I thought that was different. His fundamental goal in the interaction was to have me understand that life should be appreciated and enjoyed. Too many rush through life and miss out on incredible opportunites. He definitely made me happy. The other guy was this 23 year old Mexican boy. He obviously was an illegal immigrant residing in Norwalk who loved music and life. He played the trumpet and guitar but came into the city to practice with his band who played all kinds of music. He was self taught and studying everything he could get his hands on. He had a sixteen-year-old sister and was an uncle to a two-year-old. His mother is a nanny to three children.

I love New York
