-I wonder how people used to keep in touch. You know, before there was Facebook, before there was AIM. I think people used to have better, more genuine friends before Facebook and AIM, because then you are forced to know someone well enough to have their number, and have a phone conversation with that person. I remember my sister used the phone constantly when she was in middle and high school, but now it's all about the internet. And as great and convenient the internet is, I can't help but think that it adds a layer of superficiality and non-genuine closeness to people you know and might call "friends."
- I do not remember how to work my game and pick up girls (though, to be fair, I never had game to begin with, so I dont' really have much game to remember anyway). How do you impress girls online anyway?
- I start these lists with the word (or letter) "I" too much, so in effort to change that...
- My brother graduated from medical school this past weekend. It was an incredibly cool moment to hear the official words "Dr. Vincent Chan" uttered from the medical school dean. And as cool as it was for me and my parents, I'm sure it was even cooler for Vince. I asked him about it later and he said the whole thing was sort of a blur for him; he couldn't remember much at all. I found that cute: my brother rarely gets super nervous to a point where things become a blur for him, so it was clearly a big point in his life. He still likes to brush it off like it ain't no thang though, in true Vince fashion.
I went to Cleveland this past weekend for my brother's graduation. I love the green in Cleveland, and I love the sort of European-eastern look of the towns and the houses. I've been there during the winter and it is pretty abysmal, and in the middle of summer when it was hot hot hot and hummid, but it was May this time and absolutely perfect! A little chilly but not too much, blue skies and light breeze. My brother took us around his 2nd home to show us what Cleveland was all about, and to say good bye to the place where he called home for seven years. There is a surprising amount of awesome, cheap restaurants and hotspots in Cleveland, and as a whole it's a pretty nice city, I just don't think I could live there for an extended period of time. I mean, there's no surf! :[
-Greenery, greenery, and more greenery. This is what Cleveland does best.
-Chagrin Falls.
-My bro is officially a doctor!!!!
Until next time, zai jian!
