Steak, football, friends, and strange behaviors
Went to outback steak with Nathan, Anthony, Peter, Thomas, and Alex.
Ate a HUGE 24 ounce steak with salad and mashed potatoes. i am still feeling full from it. It was delicious though. A bit pricey for my taste.
It was nice to see all my high school friends in one place. Kind of weird of actually. One of those rare moments where we're all in the same town... It was good times, nice to chill with that crowd again. A little different from the berklee crowd.
Watched the seahawks destroy the redskins at anthonys. Thomas, Alex and Graham(Who i hadnt seen since HS graduation) were there. We also played Wii boxing, where i kicked everybody's ass. Also good times.
Hanging out with my old friends, i've forgoten how i used to be. A little more geeky, nerdy and definitely dorky. Atleast i know how to dress a little more fashionable now lol. I remember there was a time when my entire wardrobe was made up of T-shirts and jeans. Thank god i've come a long way.
"Yasu, you havn't changed one bit"
...That statement, which now is a few days old still lingers in my mind.
I've been thinking about it.... Kind of analyzing myself.
Is it possible that after that rigorous, crazy semester that I havn't changed or matured one bit?
What about that insightful psychology class?
I have thought long and hard about this, and i have decided to write my conclusions here, open.
In order to make a statement "Yasu, you havn't changed one bit" and truly be reasonable, i believe there are a few key requirements that need to be met.
1. Comparing me when i was angry in June, and them comparing me when i was angry in December is not going to wield alot of differences. Essentially, you are comparing me with myself at both times when i was out of control. The question now is why i was out of control.
a. You kind of played with my feelings. There is no denying this.
b. I was angry that you were leaving the country. Okay, this is my fault. I was being selfish.
2. Could the statement still be true if anger was not the subject? I dont think so. First of all, you barely spent any time with me in the fall, how would know whether i had changed or not?
My conclusion: The statement "Yasu, you havn't changed one bit" was a low blow. It was a cheap shot. The statement was only true because you were comparing me when i was angry. Have you thought about how i changed in other ways? Probably not. Realistically speaking, you never saw me change. You spent a total of 5 hours with me during fall semester. How can you really tell whether i had changed or not?
This discussion is pointless now.
It accomplishes nothing.
This experience is something i've decided shelve away with 2007.
