you are repressed but you're remarkably dressed

Here I am in a London for my girlfriend's 24th birthday. They have Bento Boxes there that are worth every penny of the 15 quid price. You are seated with several other people at a table, which is usually quite nice, but we were placed with some roustabouts this particular time. The guy beside of me kept talking about how his ultimate dream was to move to Asia and live "off the sea" on some tiny island, eating only what he could catch. Two seconds later, he was banging on about how he can't go anywhere without his mobile, because it takes pictures and virgin allows him to text for 15p. I'm sure the life of a vietnamese peasant farmer allows little time or money for modern conveniences. You might get a text message and let dinner slip away.

The picture is a bit grainy, but everyone can see at least one recent pic until I get my digital camera. You can even see my David Beckham faux-hawk.
