The Weekend That Was
Monday, August 4, 2008 by The Knowledgemonger
Things learned this weekend:
-- Mario Spinetti puts on an amazing solo show.
-- The show was only enhanced by seeing it with some of the best people in my world.
-- Don't go to the pool on the weekend, you will only be thwarted by the deep end not being open and one-way streets.
-- Watching the sunset over the city from the "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" parking lot is awesome and sometimes we fail to appreciate these things.
-- Some people don't get it. Don't spend your emotional energy here.
-- Some people do get it. Spend your emotional energy here.
-- "Follow You Down" is fun to sing at SNK.
-- I start a bit early on the song "Interstate Love Song" Waiting...still waiting.
-- Road trips looking for a great view are fun, even when trees thwart the view. (Yes, I just used thwarted for now a 3rd time in this post.)
-- There are people, who can listen to the bass of their music at such a level that you can feel it for 4 hours on a Saturday morning.
-- Two thoughts have prevailed well. One, a paraphrase: Concentrate your day around the hundreds of things that go right, instead of the 5 or 6 that go wrong and you will be much happier.
-- The other, a quote: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson (there will be a blog later this week in reference to him)
-- Learning again to have fun, be less serious, never hurt people intentionally, love all, trust few and live life.
-- Learning that I cannot count my thoughts, but will leave that little error, because: I'm Real!
How was your weekend? & What the fuck have you done lately?
