Kirk will be remembered..

This morning, i send kirk to the airport together with cp and botermann. it was a very sad and solemn moment. when kirk was saying his final goodbyes to everyone in sabinki's corridor, he cried together with some others like greta. i tried saying stupid things to lessen the tension but to no avail. it was really bad...

When we were at the airport, the last few moment of him here is really so tender, tragic and poignant. when he finally say his farewell to us and once again teared, i struggled to hold back my emotions. i was almost choking but i do not want to cry. maybe its a man's thing but i refuse to cry infront of others. he will be an individual i truly miss. as i am typing this, he must be on the plane.. soon he will be back in pittsburg and everything will resume normality for him.. in times to come, everything here will be just another figment of his imagination and memory.

Maybe there will be times when he lay down on bed thinking that he prolly should be drinking with us in poland. maybe he will reminisce over the times we jeer and poke fun at each other.. maybe he will smile when he has recollections of the wonderful times he had here.

He is someone who i will never ever forget. he is sincere, honest, funny, genuine and a real joy to hang aroung with. he is a gem in his ways and i will not trade him for anyone else. but he had to leave.. soon i will be back in spore.. i miss home so much. last night i dreamt of home and my niece and nephew(who i had not seen yet). it was surreal. i had the same dream over and over again. but im pretty sure it will be with a heavy heart im leaving warsaw. i dont like this country that much. it ugly, dirty, boring and filled with poles who speak a different lingo. however i had so much frens here.. so much ppl i will surely toss around in bed and miss.. ppl like cp, boterman, kirk, sana, thoma, berit, rashmi, greta, kuba, bartek etc etc.. the list is too long to name. they are a absolute joy to be with. the camaraderie we shared is impossible to replace.

Take last night. we had a bbq and of course alcohol was flowing freely. i had alot of drinks to be honest. we even drank beer from funnel. u know u open ur mouth and we pour the whole can of beer in.. after that we tried to go equilibrium which had a party there. the bouncer refused to let me in stating im drunk. i was indignant. i acknowledge im not perfectly sober but who is over there? i was not causing any probs and i was dressed appropriately. he got no right to refuse me entry. certainly not at equilibrium where there is always no bouncer. i think he is a racist and i got fucking pissed..

The rest of the group on seeing that i cant go in, asked for a refund immediately. unable to disuade the bullshit bouncer from letting me in, we left-collectively. i did not ask for any of them to come with me. they just did. they need not do this for me. but they did. this small and seemingly insignificant gesture will stay with me. even the spainish guy(i think his spainish) who stayed beside mira i think had a nice word with me and left the club. i mean to be honest i dunno him at all and i dun exactly like him too. it was a misunderstanding then i guess. but i am really touched.. i am a no body and yet they make me feel like somebody. this friendship will stay with me in my heart. nothing can replace them or the memories we shared.. i love all of them. every single one of my true friends here.

Remember the first few days here.. i do not know much ppl except my roomy and the poles like kuba n bartek. now im in the final stage of my exchange program here. from now on, im sure time will simply surge forward.. it will be a hazard canopy of activities and we will soon be back in our ctys.. but i will miss them and the time we share. i will remember..

"Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours."- Ludwig van Beethoven
