Musings

Normally I've been writing everything in a certain kind of state, but I couldn't resist writing this. Last night was an intense evening of drinking. Derek, Nick, and I all decided to go to SAE. The bus driver dropped us off at AEPi, and not wanting to walk, we just went in. We get downstairs and immediately start drinking beer from the keg. After about 3 minutes, we finish our three beers and head upstairs. While we are upstairs, we keep drinking beer and then get into our beer pong game. The arrival of Dina, Grace, and Lizzie hampered our beer pong concentration, so we end up losing our game. Dina was kind enough to get me a rum and coke from the bar upstairs and luckily the bartender was probably trying to fuck her, because it was plentiful on the rum side. So about 8 drinks deep we decide to roll out and hit SAE. This is where shit gets real intense. Rahul the Murderer, my alter ego, has decided that it is going to make an appearance tonight. We get to SAE and see a bunch of people we know, but the most important thing still had to be found... booze. We get to the bar and start pounding beers while conversing with everyone. We went downstairs to drink and dance, and that's when things start getting kind of crazy.

While down there, Nick ends up dancing with Nadia and Brad starts dancing with Sharmin. I am turning into a drunken mess and Rahul the Murderer has begun to show more and more of himself. I intermittently dance with a few girls, but my main focus for the evening was definitely the booze. I ended up getting cut off from the bar and the bartenders (freshmen) were kind of afraid since I was "demanding", as Derek puts it, more beer. I also ended up telling Sonia that I love her about 20 times, all the while flipping her off whenever she wasn't looking at me. Hahah, yes! I end up seeing Ankit Narechenia and we chatted for most of the evening.

(From this point onward, everything gets hazy and I'll relay some happenings of the night from what people told me or what the facts point to)

Kevin, noting how drunk I was, incited me into punching Ankit in the face. Note to self: Call Ankit and apologize.

Apparently we were by the stairs and I slipped and fell. When I slipped, I ended up falling on my back and my feet were in the air. When I got up, apparently I ran away to start cursing at people and spread hatred.

While outside, we had to be told by numerous brothers that we were being too loud and needed to tone it down. We didn't. I wonder if they hate us? lol

And, for the grand finale: When Nick and I got back to Church VI, we didn't end up hanging out at first. We were both blacked out and he was going to go to the Ruck but ended up not going. While he was on the phone with his "friend" from Puerto Rico he was also talking about how someone was "spying on him". Chances are since Nick and I do the little routine where I just open the door while he's in the bathroom, it was me. Apparently I yelled at him to "shut the fucking door". That's all the Puerto Rican girl said. After this extremely awkward interaction, I ended up puking in the bathroom right in front of the toilet. From what I gather, I was probably on the toilet taking a shit when the need to vomit arose and I just did it right there. The vomit incident was a full 24 hours ago and our bathroom still smells. And, to top it all off, Molly says that she heard Nick peeing into something that "didn't smell like a toilet". Damn, I love Saturdays!

Analyzing

So lately it seems kind of obvious that I've changed from a kid into a young man now. I think my ideas on the world are more refined and adult-like but they're still far from a 40 year old man's perspective. I find that I enjoy getting that Bob Marley vibe going pretty frequently these days.. I'd say about 5 times a week or more. It's been like a thing which helps me cut back on the drinking and I feel that it's allowed me to just do a lot of thinking that I seem to "never have time to do", but it's only because drinking/hangover takes up so much time/effort. Anyway, so I've been doing that a lot lately, but I've also been trying to get into a few different things. First, I joined the S&W, which is a publication on campus. That's pretty sweet.. so I'm either gonna do an ed/op (editorial/opinion) column where I just write my opinions about stuff or I'm gonna try a humorous column about whatever I'd like. Either one is pretty sweet to me, and I'd totally love doing it. Then, on top of the S&W thing, I also applied to be a member of the Student Union Executive Board. This board has only like 7 or so people on it who decide what happens to the $8million+ of Activity Fee payments. That could prove to be really impressive for a resume and may even provide a foothold if I decide to go into Investments or something. Also, I have been trying to improve my pool game lately. I don't really know why, but it's very soothing to me. It's like... the perfect game. As long as you can really get an understanding of physics, then you can be a terrific player. I probably will end up getting a pool table in my house when I'm older, so why not at least get the ability to play it now? Haha.

Today I happened to talk to my friend Kevin about going to India for a semester abroad, and the more I told him about what we could do, the more hyped I became. I was explaining to it that we could visit a fair amount of Northern India if we were to just stay with my family. We could go to Ludhiana, Punjab and visit my family there who have a really nice setup. My cousin Surbhi is still living there I think (college student), and it would be a nice time I think. Or, we could jet over to Haryana and visit my favorite town: Ambala Cantt. This place is amazing. I have so many cousins and get so much love whenever I go back that I cannot even imagine how I've gone almost 5 years without seeing them. It'll be nice to go back. I really miss everyone a great deal. Then, I told Kevin about one of the craziest things about India... that many NRIs end up owning houses in India. Like my dad! For a weekend we could probably go out to Dehradun (Uttranchal if you care) and stay in the 'Green Park house'. That would be amazing to have a place where we could do whatever. It could be even sweeter if we got a few people to go to India with us. It would be an amazing time seeing family and being with college friends. I am determined to make this idea happen. (Note to self: Find out how to go to India)

I hate staying up late, so I'll leave my thoughts there. Ironic that when I chose to stop writing, it was 4:20... Ironic.
