The lights went out! The lights went out! And darkness filled the house on a tiring night under a Long Island sky.

As per a typical day in the life of a college student, I wake up and go on facebook. It is a bizarre ritual that I am shamelessly participating in.

As I scroll through my news feed of 1700+ friends, I come across a post about a friend of mine that I have not seen in awhile. Today I found out that my friend Ryan Finn is joining The Navy. I got a bad taste in my mouth as soon as I read that. I am not upset that he joined The Navy, I am upset that I did not get to see him one last time before he left. He is only gone for 8 months, but because I haven't seen him in what feels like a life time, I anticipate these next 8 months to feel like a life time as well.

When I come to think of it, I have not seen any of my Oceanside friends in a considerably long time, with the exception of Cereny who I see at Vibe frequently. But I have not seen Tina since her birthday last summer, I have not seen Zach since Bamboozle, I have not seen Boha since Blink-182, I have not seen Mike since I went through a terrible heartbreak 2 summers ago. I have not seen Jon, Taco, Persall, Joe and Spencer in god knows how long.

If any of you read this, please understand that I am going to get out there as soon as I can.

It is so odd. If Ryan told me that he was joining The Navy the last time I saw him, I probably would have laughed, thats how long its been.
