Succinct and straight. No other way to shoot. For me.

What did you do yesterday? Have a full day did you? Oh well thanks for asking. Started service at 6:30 am, went to the O.C. at 2. Went shopping at Alberstsons at about 4:00 pm. Then that “Muller boy” called me and so I went to play ping-pong. Fun. What little I recalled about the joy of kites. Seeing as it was very windy, he suggested that we try out his Spider Man kite he received as a gift. Off we went. No sooner did we tie the string to this bad boy and it was off. Didn’t even have to try to get it to fly. At about 75 feet in the air, it came down, one toss, it went straight back up. At 120 feet, it came down and with no assistance at all, it shot straight back up! I’m telling you this kite was so easy to fly. Zero effort equals maximum fun! I was really wishing we had thought of doing that earlier in the day, because well, in the darkness it’s hard to keep an eye on the kite. It was rather funny too, we were still all dressed up from service. or close to it. Yes we did go out for Starbucks too. When we got back we even played ping-pong sitting down drinking our coffee. That is great fun.

I just realized how boring my write-up of the day was to read. HAH.

Impedance mismatches are hard to deal with. I think a lot of people feel that way. But that’s a pretty bold thought.

Getting someone to smile is great, especially when they don’t even realize you tried to do it. Giving people presents is cool too. They can’t see what you do behind the scenes to make it look cool, or wrap it well. But nonetheless it’s done, and so if nothing else, you know it was a quality present, even if it was just a simple something. Win-win if I must say it some how.

One night, due to nervously darting eyes and pathetic attempts at sarcasm, I started feeling kinda bad for someone. It seemed that they had become unsettled by my rather crass jokes, which, that night, came quicker than they had mentally prepared for. Adding to the (very likely imagined) tension, was the newness of my acquaintance with them. Now while I felt rather comfortable the whole night, I became afraid that it was because I was being a jerk. I started wondering how much I should tone myself down for new people. I wondered if this would make me fake. Cause everyone is always talking about being yourself. Yet if I am, to borrow the Widdle “C”’s term, rather intense, should I tone that down just so the other person can be a bit more at ease? Perhaps I have thought far to much about this. Just don’t want to be the jerk. But I think it’s too late for that, heh, that situation is more than a year old.

It’s not about wining with me, but if you insist that it is, I’ll quite trying, you’ll think you won, and while perspective is hardly reality, in my mind, I won. That is bizarre. But not extremely. Cause who cares who won. Insignificant.
