I am a jack in the box....
(Note to self: Never underestimate the theraputic effects of "writing")
Man, I really hate those weekends when so much crazy shit happens, you just wish you could just have slept in the whole time. Lil drama things happenin here and there all weekend, driving to more or less the equivalent of a round-trip cross-country journey, and to top it all off, I freakin lost my glasses. Is there no end to the suffering? It's unbelievable man, the whole "snowball" effect. I guess weird and frustrating occurences are precursors to subsequent weird and frustrating events.
But as I wait for the smoke to clear on what was more or less a busted weekend, looking closely. there are semblances of highlights. That would be hanging out w/ friends: at my house, at Ai's BBQ, and @ Q's. So there'a always a silver ligning somewhere, sometimes you just gotta sift through a lot more than usual.
Going away bashes...
I've come to realize that, from a guest's point-of-view, going away parties are more ceremonial than anything. I've been to a few of them, and it seems that people talk more to the people they haven't seen in a while than the guest of honor. And the guest of honor is interacting with so many people, how can one really expect to have some good, quality time with the celebrant? I guess it's the same for weddings, that sharing in the celebration is more than nothing. So I haven't come to a resolve like boycotting all future going away get-togethers or anything, because I too enjoy talking to those people, and wishing "bon voyage" and "farewell" in the collective voice. I just know that if one really wants to say good-bye, a phone call would really make a big difference...cuz it's 1-1 and it's a really heartfelt gesture...at least that's how I see it.
Icing on the cake...
Man, I just saw Finding Nemo at the El Capitan, and I only have three words to describe my feelings about this movie...O-M-G. I absolutely loved that movie. And being one of those people that don't really like to over-hype movies for the sake of raising the expectaions bar too high, I don't care. I'm gonna tell my friends how much I liked it and how I've never been so into an animation, a Disney animation at that, EVER. Wow...I loved that movie so much that I completely forgot about the shitty weekend that was... Thank goodness for bright colors, amazing imagination, witty humor, and visual expression.
Also ate at The Loft in Hawthorne(correctly pronounced Haw - thorn), it was good, but pretty far from the freeway, which aided in making us run late for the showing...which ensued in a frantic drive towards Hollywood on what I thought was the fastest route(which has yet to be confirmed). But it was good, and food always gets better w/ good company...so that's that.
Thumbs up to...
-Great movies
-Knowing I am close w/ my friends
-Just doing nothing, even if for a little while
Thumbs down to...
-The comlexities of life
-Driving too much...over the past 2 weeks, I have driven over 1200 miles...
-Drama
