omaha: a small world after all

the last time i saw dean, it must have been deep in the a.m. while we were ending the night with some kebabs. he and this kid dean kept doing handstands out in the middle of budapest and kept taking turns carrying each other across the empty streets. i had met dean while i was staying at the 'suite' hostel in budapest, which is one of the best hostels i've ever stayed in. i had just recently gotten off a train from brasov, romania-also known as transylvania- and all i wanted to do is take a warm shower and find a bed. but something about the mix of people in that hostel had me finding my bed later than what i expected. i met two megan's, a caroline, and one kim.

well, long story short, dean fell for one of the megans and two years later, dean and megan are living together in omaha! it was funny seeing dean without his mullet and black eye. he picked me up from my hotel and we headed to this place called 'old chicago'. after a few wrong turns driving into the opposite side of the street, we were there. we had some beers and this interesting thai pizza. megan's brother, andy, who works there hooked it up big time. later, andy took us to this place called 'jays' it was cool spot with pool and billiards. typical midwest bar i guess, where all of the creighton college students hung.

i felt so old, dean felt the same way but it was all good, we caught up and had a great time. dean didn't bust any handstands that night, but we're hanging out again tonight. i'm pretty sure it'll come back.
