more than a little disappointed

alright. i'm back in NJ now. everything is fine and normal here. i really enjoy hanging out with my parents, so that's cool. i'm working, and making cash at the same time, so that obviously evens out that equation. Chris and Windee (and their lil' puppy, Mellow) are gonna be here in two days. so, everything seemed great. especially, since i was looking forward to ending my last day in the states, before going back to a grueling work schedule at McGill, with all of my friends on nye. a team Beerz reunion on or above the scale of Bomz' birthday in february. but something is amiss.

here's the backstory: Bomz, king of all bashes, informs everyone in the gang about a month ago that he's going to have a nye party in nazareth, pa. for me, that's over 8 hours from my current living location, and about 2 hours from my home in nj. for the people in media, pa, it's about an hour and fifteen away. with no hesitation whatsoever, i jumped in and told Bomz that i'm in. of course! to me, it doesn't matter where we are, what we're doing, as long as we all get together to hang out. anyone who's partied with team Beerz knows that the locale is unimportant...there will always be shenanigans and tomfoolery (i'm an adult now, i should use adult words, shouldn't i?). well, anyway, it seemed all set up to me.

little did i know that certain media folk don't agree with this. despite the fact that only and best reunion we've had was thrown by Bomz himself, some people "just don't feel like driving an hour" to hang out with a bunch of old friends. instead, they want to hang out at the house of the girlfriend of some tool that they know from high school or go to a crowded bar full of drunk strangers. if there was nothing else going on, i'm 100% down with that (the former at least)...we'd take over the party and make it our own. but when there is a perfectly good and well thought-out reunion in the works, for over a month, by one of the key members of team Beerz, to me, there should be no question.

maybe it's because i'm sick of bars, after living in montreal: the land of all bars, no parties. maybe it's because i haven't seen my best friends in more than 6 months. maybe it's because i want to live in the past once a year or so and have a full-on, reckless, blow-out reminiscent of undergraduate days. maybe i just thought that a really tight group of friends cared more about catching up and hanging out than about the superficial element of the location at which it happens.

well, i guess we'll see what happens. i'll be in nazareth. not only did i already tell Bomz that i was in, i know for sure that it's gonna fuckin rule.
