to all the readers:
when going out on a date
make sure the girl is officially broken-up
and that the guy doesnt join you half-way through said date

its expensive enough spending what little money you have left on food for others
now ive gotta buy this guy drinks too???

and so yet another chapter of a strange diary has been authored
its title: the day i stopped giving a shit
the last line uttered in the chapter: ( setup... ive just spent a shitload of money on dinner and a couple drinks, about 4 hrs into the evening she gets on the phone and invites her boyfriend to join us. this took place two minutes before i decided to leave them both. )
girl- "if you could be anywhere in the world doing anything you wanted to do right now, what would it be?"
me- "hmmm.........i got it. you go first."
girl- "id be in africa helping the children with aids. your turn."
me- "wow...good one. as for me, honestly? i really dont think its any of your f-in business."

on a positive note though,
if ever in salem ma do stop by the taste of asia restaraunt on washington st.
excellent fusion of traditional and nouveau japanese.
