Pork Belly

Wow. Korean BBQ ranks highly up there in my fav foods list. I think this really puts hotpot to shame. No offense to those who enjoy the soup, but really, fried pork with the amazing Korean sauces and rice all wrapped up in lettuce -- it's hard to beat that. But then, after the meal, you're whole body is pretty much drenched in oil so I guess that's the tradeoff.

My good friend Johnny came in town to visit me for a couple of days, and it's nice to see a familiar face when everyone's gone home for Spring Break. Literally, the town feels kinda dead when you're driving and you no longer see students walking on the streets of downtown. I think one of the harder things of being in the "real world" is making that mental shift of not being in college and being in the working world. I think in college, we've established the expectation that we're going to have opportunities to have fun and hang out with people basically whenever. However, much that has changed since working as you'll be lucky enough to even catch glimpses of your roommates. After a while, you begin to feel like you've taken for granted the conveniences of friendship for all these years. You really do have to make a conscious effort to meet and see people because in a blink of an eye, days, weeks, and months go by real quick.
