Today I have been listening to Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back. I had this record when I was in Junior High and has much nostalgic memories for me. I don’t really listen to rap, not my thing, but these guys were the deal. I also am still really into De La Soul, alterna rap, as Lars and I call them. Yesterday I did not have to go to work till noon, so I went surfing in OB. It did not go well for me. There is a sand bar in the middle of OB and the waves were crashing very nice and clean, except they were like 5 to 6 feet, a little big for me at this time. I just messed around in the white water, trying to get up, but it was just frustrating. My desire is strong and I can’t wait to really surf. I dream about it all the time, but I get out in the water and I freak out a bit, get scared. The ocean is strong and has no mercy on you. I’m just going to keep charging and going big.
Over the next 5 weeks I am going to have to work a lot of overtime. My company is working on a big software update and I am writing a huge user’s manual from scratch, probably going to be about 150 pages, and I have to do it by April 4. I had this meeting today with my whole department, and my boss came in and said, “I have been very flexible with everyone so far this year, letting you work from home or on the train home, but now it’s time to work your ass off! We will all work as long and as much as it takes to get this project done by April.” As you can see, my boss means business. My boss is really cool and laid back, but when things get close to deadlines, she just let’s us have it. Point being, I will be going crazy working a lot, not being able to relax with my wife, surf, play b-ball or watch TV as much as I like, and that will suck. Anyway, I got go home now and enjoy one of my few early days I will have for the next few weeks.
Emily-got you letter, you are crazy. I will be calling you soon on what I will be doing.
“Hey, good luck with your ministry” quote from either Justin or Jenkins, can’t remember which, being said to the lead singer of Joe Christmas at Cornerstone music fest. His response, “Uh, were not really about that” or something like that. I was listening to them this morning and remembered that story.
