Well ladies and gentlemen I know it has been a while since I've posted. The explanation that I have behind this, is that I have been working on a huge post, and I can't get it to come out right, so I scrapped it. Tonight I went to see "Goodbye, and Goodnight" with a friend in Santa Monica. Having been put on notice that blogging is something in my nature, he has requested to be heretofore refered to as "Mystery Man". We went downtown there, to the third street Promenade. He had never been there before, and was impressed I think, with the quite obvious coolness therein. It was very cold and very colorful; like la Posada. Street performers, stores, food, and badly dressed teenagers.
More importantly however, the movie was absoultely fantastic! Black and white and glorious. I am almost too tired to post about it...but I definately loved it. I find it odd, that I can enjoy a movie with someone I have almost nothing in common with that no one else I have plenty in common with would like to see.
He hates sports: thought the Texas Rangers were called the Dallas Rangers. He thinks you can like the Dallas Cowboys AND the San Fransisco 49rs at the same time. He doesn't like country and does like Calfornia. He doesn't even know who the Spurs are...he somehow thinks it is acceptable for people HERE to wear Cowboy boots. He doesn't like Harry Potter...or cars...he drives a BUICK. Heavens to Betsy mama...we got ourselves a yankee!
Tonight we each go home, and in the morning we will each go to Church in a starkly different way. I'll go to the late service with Jonathan, and Mystery Man will watch his Church on the internet. Different strokes for different folks. Still a nice kid...guess I'll be making lots of both new AND different friends.
