Labor Day Weekend
Tuesday, September 07, 2004
This past weekend, I observed a man at Huntington beach who had no arms. He was a rather robust person in size, so it intrigued me how he so adapted to his lack of limbs: how easily he stood up from laying down on the sand. Even I had a hard time pulling myself up after a short nap on the sand.
It seemed like everyone was at the beach that weekend. The armless person and his family to the left of me and another family to my right who brought their own boombox. I usually think about how annoying it would be to have to listen to someone else's choice of music at a public place... but as I sat down... the intro to Gun's and Roses "Paradise City" began to play. It made me smile. I also realized how much more forgiving I am of songs that the radio plays... as opposed to what I listen to on CD. Why is that? I mean, I'll listen to Metallica song all the way through if it's playing on the radio, even if I already have the CD but never play it. The same goes for movies that come on TV. I'll watch a movie, commercials and all, even though I can just pop in the dvd and watch it commercial free.
My girlfriend is the best. I just had to say that. Better than yours I'm sure. haha.
That's all I'll say about my weekend. There was too much that happened and didn't happen for me to go into it all... some people flaked... but Paul, Raina, Kristine, Roe and I had some fun.
Today, some more parts for my Les Paul restoration project came in... also my new coworker Reid talks too much... but he's cool... so far.
I also found out that the Shepherd Group I'm in this quarter, is now an all girls SG. I guess none of the guys can make it out to Monday nights, so the staff decided upon Shaun's group as the all boys group... and Connie's as the all girl group for First and Second years. This should be interesting.
Revworship kicks off this Friday at the new church. It's gonna be great. Tonight is Open air worship at Pepperdine... Troy is leading that worship session.
