snowing in milwaukee

you know something is special in the works when your birthday falls on thanksgiving. normally it's spent with your family, but my first thanksgiving - was spent with some special friends whose friendship i have come to treasure over the past couple of days.


an introspective view on friendship allows one to really evaluate the depth of his human relations. but i realised from these precious few days that sometimes, some things cannot be measured. the word priceless comes to mind instantly.

people choose to spend their holidays the way they want to. and, hey whatever floats their boat right? i chose a peaceful thanksgiving over one that requires lengthy travels and such, and to actually sit down and have a conversation over some hearty home-cooked meals, or a short brief lesson on the quintessential american man, how about a concise summary of the history slavery and it's far-reaching implications on the modern society? you don't get that anywhere else.

and to eddie: the last time we met was 17 years ago, but the moment i met ya it felt as though we've known each other forever. i feel honored to have you as a friend, i've learnt so much in just 2 days. and of course to your mom and dad, it felt like home for the first time in 2 years.

really, thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
