Pay Attention
May. 15th, 2007 02:38 pmFriday was filled with pirate goodness. It was hot like the tropics, as sinful as Tortuga, and the rum flowed freely.
There were no zombies for me on Saturday, but I did witness the end of Heroes at Toast. It made me very happy to hear "Holiday in Cambodia" as one of the closing songs. After I was finished singing and dancing to it, a guy shook my hand and said "you were the only one here who knew all the words."
Sunday Sara and I dove to Medway. It's quite a scenic drive, lots of budding trees reaching up to the sky, fresh air w/out any hint of cow. Burgers were grilled, frisbees were thrown (and sometimes caught), and an interesting mix of people attended. I also learned that part of spring means colder nights still. Tank tops won't quite cut it.
I also had a long talk with my Mom. My sister's are going through a very rough patch right now (between a broken engagement and kids having brush in's with the law), and she asked me if I was happy. The question threw me for a minute, but I told her I was. Anything I'm lacking right now isn't preventing me from enjoying the rest of my life. A friend just noted that she doesn't have much to say when she is in a good mood. In a similar vein, I don't think a lot of people pay attention when they're experiencing a good state. If things are good you just keep doing what you are doing. You don't think and ponder, you just Do. Mostly, of late, I've been doing.
Monday I struggled at poi a bit, but I think i'm getting the hang of reels. I should be able to do some interesting things building off of that. I followed up with a Ceremony visit, that started slow and quickly picked up speed. I'm starting to enjoy myself there a lot more lately, and that's a good thing.
Tonight, there will be zombies.
