Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2006 July 9 (entry 1)

# 09 Jul 2006, 06:26PM: MC Masala on Regret And Nostalgia: More melancholy.

I can glean no pleasure at all from memories of indiscretions that were fun at the time.

I made wince-worthy mistakes with booze, boys and writing. Yes, writing. A moment of bombastic self-indulgence on the printed page actually long outlives my friends' memory of a stupid ouzo-drenched insult, which makes me grateful to my friends and resentful of those crumbling stacks of my high school newspaper that I somehow can't bear to throw away.
