I miss...

I miss...
  • Having a decent internet connection
  • Driving on roads that didn't have potholes every 2 feet
  • Going on long, soothing, scenic drives in the middle of the night
  • Driving a car that made me feel like it was fun to drive one (and I mean the automatic/manual thing)
  • Having a nice place all of my own
  • Watching HBO shows well past midnight - ON TV!!
  • Shooting the breeze with co-workers
  • Sitting in a bar, smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, watching the NBA playoffs
  • The Beer:
    • Gusiness from a TAP...aah
    • Blackjack
    • Heineken
    • Red Stripe
    • Carlsberg
    • fuck it - Shiner too
  • Going out to eat to various joints serving up different cuisines
  • The Food:
    • Masaman Curry at Madam Mam's
    • Anything from Hoa Hoa
    • Stir Fry from Fire Wok
    • Burrito's from Chipotle
    • various shit from Taco Bell
    • Sandwiches from Jimmy Johns (oh my god!!!)
    • Portabello Mushroom sandwhich from NXNW
    • Pizza from Dominos (believe it)
    • The middle eastern food
    • The occasional Sushi/Steak
  • The grocery stores which had everything I needed under one roof
  • The people who were always helpful
  • Customer service which actually served the customer
  • Company Websites that were taken seriously
  • Public servants who actually did their jobs
  • Cheap(er) gas
  • An amazing movie going experience (despite the movie):
    • The Air conditioned halls
    • People who'd have enough courtesy to stop talking once the trailers started rolling, and definitely stop by the time the movie started
    • People who had the courtesy to not take phone calls while still in the Hall
    • Few movies that actually left you fulfilled coming out the hall
    • (to be continued...)
  • Electronics stores which stocked more than just household appliances
  • Not having to pay 1/3'rd of my pay on rent
