It's been 2 or 3 years since we last seen each other. Even though so much time had passed it seems like we did not even miss a beat. We talked the same and acted the same as we always have. I can clearly recall back to Patrick's last day of school before he left Qatar. I kept wondering, "How in the hell am I going to survive this shitty school without Pat?" I still don't know how I did, but I do remember how much it sucked the next day without him there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We met up with Luis and ate at Pappasito's which was pretty damn good. We played a bit of tennis, ping-pong and Rock Band.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sometimes, even now, I wonder how in the hell I am going to survive without Pat. It's too bad we don't go to the same college or are even remotely close.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So yeah, it's true, I'll miss him. I just hope that the next time we see each other won't take years. Honestly, he's a person you can open up to. You're lucky to meet a guy like him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/669579691/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Thursday, August 07, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/669319564/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/669319564/item.html</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:02:23 GMT</pubDate><description>Hello. It's been a while since I've actually wrote on this thing. I can't sleep, partly because I can't stop thinking about things and partly because I have bad habits now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This journal is very important to me. I've been writing in it since 2003, on and off. A lot of memories are here. Some good, some bad. Most stupid. I went back and just glanced at everything I wrote. Sometimes it seems like I'm reading about someone else... it doesn't feel like I wrote it. Is that bad? I don't know.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Right now, a question keeps repeating inside my head... it goes something like this "What the fuck am I doing?" A part of me tells me what I should be doing and a part of tells me what I want to be doing. The problem is, neither are really true to me. I don't know what is right. I don't know what I want.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wonder, in 5 more years, who will I be when I look back on this? Will I have what I want? Will I be happy? Or will I be stupid? I'm betting on stupid, just as I was, just as I am, just as I will be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/669319564/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Saturday, July 05, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/664780478/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/664780478/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:16:35 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;object width="440" height="361"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/player.swf?mediaId=3472106"/&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"/&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/&gt;&lt;embed src="http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/player.swf?mediaId=3472106" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="440" height="361" allowScriptAccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/664780478/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Friday, June 06, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/660302987/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/ADistantStar/660302987/item.html</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:10:44 GMT</pubDate><description>Presenting &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;JUN MIHARA &lt;/span&gt;my desktop mascot!
