friday nite lights
"to know a beginning but never an end..."
finally, this was like the first time in months that i went out with friends on a social gathering on friday night. i'm not a clubbing type of person, i'd normally prefer bars, lounges or pubs, with pubs getting the nod ahead 'cos it shows football matches. the guys(the officers who already left the service and now enjoying uni life) called me up and asked me to join them for a drink. meeting them was easy, but getting to the bar was a killer. we waited at the taxi stand for something close to eternity. i mean, when i met up with them, the night market opposite was still open. 3 sticks and close to 1hour later, the night market has already closed shop and there still wasnt any taxi in sight. thank the stars that just when i was about to light up my fourth stick, a taxi finally came. saved one stick for later.hehe.
its been such a long time since i went out drinking, i kinda lost touch with all the drinks and games. the atmosphere at Barcelona Bar was pretty cool; as usual we were the youngest bunch of people around, with most of the patrons there being of the working class or middle aged group. the live band was rocking on the night, they were playing most of the songs from the 80s and early 90s. their rendition of Def Leppard's "Two Steps Behind" totally rocked.
the conversations were pretty much the regular talk between guys. topics about army life, university life, girls and the generation gap. its amazing what 2½ yrs of being stuck in green and after that being tossed out to society can do to one's social experience. nowadays it seemed everyone is playing billards, no longer pool, and the lingo they're speaking is totally different. at least when i leave, i wont be stuck in a group of people who's 4-5yrs younger than me and speaking differently(i hope).
on a wholly different note, this blog by the tearful diswasher was totally inspiring.
