Fun times… fun times.
I just got back from going to the beach. It was pretty cool. Although I think I got sick as a result of it. Oh well. It was worth it.
After we got there we kind of walked along the beach for awhile… then kind of walked into the water a little bit… but it was annoying because we were all in clothes… not swimming trunks or anything…. and so.. yeah. Anyway, after trying to keep them dry for awhile I got sick of it and jumped in after telling zack i hoped he didn’t mind taking me home wet. It was cold. I mean, it wasn’t paticularly warm outside for one thing, plus it was night… and windy. I was so freezing for the longest time. The others in the group soon followed me in this action. Haha… boy did they feel retarded. To dry off when I was done I ran along the beach screaming about how cold I was. I think I scared this couple that was walking along the beach. I ran on broken shells I think. My feet hurt quite badly.
Then we went to various stores and i was wet and covered with sand…. everyone else was just wet…. they hadn’t fell in the sand as I had at one point. So I felt exceptionally retarded, but that’s ok. So we ate at McDonalds… I don’t think the manager liked us very much. He gave us a condescending look. I thought it was funny. Stupid McDonalds managers. What makes them think they have a right to judge… i mean geez… they’re working in fast food 😛 (no offense to anyone out there working in fast food ;))
Anyway, I made it back… but as I said, I think I’m sick. That’s ok. Today was a good day. It kept my mind off the stuff that’s been bumming me out recently.
In addition to that though, I was reminded today of how much I have, even though crappy stuff happens to me sometimes. And sometimes I don’t have all that I want (a job….. a girlfriend…. etc…), I still am incredibly blessed. When I was at the mall, waiting in line to get some food, The guy just in front of me was handicapped. More so then just being unable to walk, he was obviously mentally handicapped as well….. and…. I just felt something that I hadn’t felt since I was in Mexico City last summer. It was this overwhelming sense of how blessed I am… and also an overwhleming sense of compassion for him. I felt the love of God for him. I said a silent prayer for him there, standing in line. I hope it made a difference. His brief presence in my life certainly made a difference for me.
Even so I still am not paticularly happy about the situation with my friend whom i greatly want to talk to. But it puts it into perspective.
I am going to seriously try and update this almost every day at least in some small way. It’s going to be very much a record of my thoughts and feelings, in some cases probably very personal…. but i am willing to be transparent… because I think most people can identify anyway. In other cases it will just be ridiculous too, I’m sure.
Godspeed.

Haha, this was a cool post, Jason. A very cool post. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I probably read it a long time ago…but I don’t remember.
But yeah, way awesome, funny post. 🙂 I especially like the part about how you *almost* slammed burger flippers considering your current job situation. 😉
I also liked the part about you feeling blessed and silently praying for the handicapped guy…I do things like that to…and haven’t really told many people for fear of being ‘weird’ or something haha. So, I’m glad you have been known to do that, too. That is just darb.
Yeah, I also saw no one commented here, and this post is definately worthy of a comment. So yeah
