That's New

It's Sunday night, the end of the weekend. Time for me to mentaly prepare for tomorrow's work day. I'm not crazy about it, but I'll get it done, right? But the weekend was good and full of new things. Friday night we ate dinner with our lady neighbors at the house and then went bowling for a while. It's good to sometimes get away from the house with the guys and do something new. Yesterday I went with Chubbs to see a show at the French Quarter Cafe. It was French... but I forgive it. After that, we went back to the house and did a bit of a jam session both on the porch and in the practice room, followed by emptying a few rounds into some bb guns from the back porch. If that wasn't enough, we went to Cafe Coco with Stuffy to meet up with his lady Ashley who was in town with some of her co-counselors. We had a good time talking and carrying on, even though Matt and I were inquired upon as to whether or not we were "queer" by some really really gay guys. And yes, there are several stages of gay. There's the gay where you can't really tell just by looking. There's the gay where you can tell by body language. And then there's the gay that these guys were. They were almost transi gay. When I went to shake one of the guy's hands, he gave it to me as if I were going to kiss it... Obviously they didn't look at what we were wearing, otherwise they would have realized that we are sloppy, straight, very out of tune with affemanite nature, college guys. I guess it was just weird the way it happened because usually I don't mind gay guys all that much. I just don't like it when they probe at my sexual prefference.

So then this morning I ran sound at church for the first time with Matt and a guy named Dax. None of us had ever done it there before, but I feel pretty good about it. I knew my stuff well enough to not get stalled out on any of the tricky problems we faced. I'm pretty sure they'll ask us back, but again, it was just a good boost for me to see that my education actually does make me compitent in comparison to real professionals.

So now I guess I go on my rounds. Peace and love.
