Sleepless...
I've been quite saddened to hear lately that people just don't serve anymore. And by "serving," I'm not even speaking in terms of church, although that was what sparked it. People at my old church don't serve anymore, and they were even thinking about cancelling that service because of the lack of participation. The church I go to when I'm in LA, also has a major lack of participation... And to me, that was just the beginning. Everyone just expects things to come to them sometimes, and it's just saddening that so many people try to take advantage of each other for our own selfish benefits. Weird, it seems like I talked about this before, but oh well...I guess things that continue to repeat themselves in your mind, need to be expressed.
The all-star game today was a complete tribute to Jordan, in my opinion. From the intro's to Carter stepping aside for Jordan to start, to the half-time show, to even almost having him take the winning shots, both in regulation and in overtime. It was a pretty good game I guess...and played competitively, no pity scores given out. But it's crazy to come to the realization that we have just witnessed the greatest basketball player in the history of the sport itself play his final all-star game. Speaking strictly in terms of sports, as I was conversing w/ my friends the other day, we have witnessed thus far, in our lifetimes, THE greatest athletes in their respective sports...amazing. And to think most of us are still soooo, young(notice, I said MOST of us, he he he), I wonder what more there is to see...lots, I presume.
Once again, I have found trouble sleeping...it is closing in on 3AM Feb 10, 2003 and I feel like I am totally wide awake...yet I haven't slept much all day. I wonder how it's possible that a physically exhausted body just cannot find the rest it requires...mind over matter I guess? But that's weird, cuz my mind is so blank right now...well, maybe not so much, otherwise, I wouldn't be writing right now. So I guess I'll go outside, smoke myself a cigarette and go to my room and read myself into total boredom, and then, maybe I can catch a few zzz's?
