Sometimes i really think that i'm getting *old.*

I decided to go out for dinner tonight. I've been wanting to try out a couple of different local sushi places. My options within walking distance were Kampai, a small but supposedly expensive sushi restaurant, and Cafe Asia, a much larger "asian restaurant and sushi bar." I went to Cafe Asia first (it's closer). There were a few things that bugged me about this place. One: i could hear the place. I mean i could hear it as i was walking toward it from about a block away. It was very crowded, and there was a waiting list. Also, everyone there was young, and there was music playing that i guess is current and popular, but i didn't recognize it. Main thing is that it was LOUD.

I decided to go to Kampai.

It was much more traditional (though later i found out it was run by Koreans, not Japanese) and most importantly QUIET. The food there was decent (the portions left a bit to be desired) and overall for me it was just a lot more pleasant.

So, i wonder if the fact that i rejected the hip and trendy (and loud) does that mean that i'm getting *old*? I mean i've never really been hip or trendy, but i do like going to a club every now and again... but i dunno. I mean this place was filled with (from all appearances, anyway) the types of people i htae running into at clubs. Women who just go to drink and spend men's money while dressed up like Paris Hilton wannabe sluts in all their fakery (i say fakery because there is the rare occasion that there's a genuinely good looking and nice woman in there, but that's one in a million; the rest are as fake as the fifty pairs of breast implants i saw straining to be free from the confines of the flimsy tops that attempted to restrain them), and men who are all too willing to spend money on them in a big dick waving contest as they brag about their cars, jobs, and alcohol tolerance. Of course these lovely people somehow manage to pair off and then go back to their expensive (and parentally acquired and maintained) apartments where they have thoroughly uninspiring, drunken, premature-ejaculation-plagued-but-it-doesn't-matter-because-nether-of-them-will-remember-anything-anyway-either-because-of-the-alcohol-or-the-fact-that-it-was-just-that-bad sex.

Maybe i'm just bitter. *shrug*

I think that maybe i'm just to the point in my life where i just don't care about all the shallow things that i thought were important (in highschool), that i thought i was unworthy of (in college the first time) and that i couldn't afford anyway (at any point). I think that after all this time i'm starting to realize what's really important. Or if i haven't figured that out yet, maybe i'm just realizing what ISN'T NECESSARY. All that noise isn't necessary. The popularity isn't necessary. That crowd isn't necessary. That whole scene isn't necessary. I was SO much more content going to the smaller quieter place. It was more peaceful, more relaxing and i could HEAR MYSELF THINK. I dunno... i've always preferred quiet when it came to going out and eating. Or eating in general. I've never been a real drinker, so alcohol isn't a selling point for me. I actually like having real conversations, so a place like that just isn't my style at all. It's like in bad B movies where the little rinky dink place sells awesome food and has been around for 50 years and then the huge corporate restaurant tries to muscle in on them, but all they've got is the fact that they're hip and trendy... no soul.

Maybe that's it. I think that i just like for things to be real. Bound is fun because what goes on in there is very real, and the people in there are very real. Modern (at least on thursday nights) is also fun for me because it's very real. People aren't there to posture, they're there to dance. Even if they're showing off, they're showing off their real skill that they've toiled for for months, probably years. It brings a whole new level of genuine-ness (?) to it that i can really appreciate.

So, yeah, maybe i am getting old. But i think that really i'm just tired of the bullshit.

I've been traveling about the east coast for the past month and still haven't been able to find good traditional japanese food....especially sushi frown I'm about ready to just give up and wait until I head home.

I don't think it's a sign of getting old so much as just changing what you like and don't like. It's a natural progression and it happens every seven years or so usually. wink

Yup, definitely old.

I find the normally irritating places can still be fun if you bring a bunch of people so you don't have to interact with the inhabitants. Dance clubs I wouldn't normally frequent by myself are fun when 10 or so of us go together.
