My first thought was to interview a man named Aaron. He's super awesome and Christian and just a great blessing in my life. I knew I would see him today but I wasn't quite prepared and lacked tact when I slyly asked (more like demanded in a joking tone) that he be part of this social experiment. I think I scared him away so that may be a later post if he ever agrees. Sorry about that.
My second thought was Martin (to be pronounced Marrrrrrrtin - go on, sing it in your head like the Martin Lawrence show from the 90's). I hadn't seen Martin in a while and when he got into the car with Richard to join us for Breakthough I immediately started discussing the blog and he was in. Even if he didn't want to be in, he would be in. He's a good friend. I interviewed him and he recorded it. It didn't go how I wanted it to but it's there. When he sends it I will post it up. Also, I'd like to add a link to his video that Richard kept going on about. I heard it was awful but I wasn't sure what they meant. There is supposed to be swearing but I haven't seen it. Here is the youtube link: http://youtu.be/hKOAZcYFTuA (Update: I just watched it. It was hilarious. It has some adult content- you've been warned)
For a moment I thought about asking Celia (who also joined us at Breakthrough which was a great surprise) but decided I wanted to ask more personal stuff but couldn't do that for the blog. She and I just need to hang out but she is incredibly busy with work, school, church stuff, wife stuff, mom stuff and I'm sure the list goes on. She's an amazing woman who is also amazingly busy. That too will be for another time.
So on to my last idea of someone I would talk to and write about; my uncle Richard. The person I have had the longest relationship with. More like a brother than an uncle, I wasn't prepared with questions and I see him often so it's weird to set this up.
I sent an inbox message to my Brit friend Daniel who read the message but didn't respond. I'm assuming he is running around because he does have a pretty adventurous life according to the super cool pictures he posts on his page.
And I did inbox a woman named Tawny Rodriguez. She is the in-law of my friend Lola and the wife of my friend Richard. I only know her indirectly but the woman is a bad ass Marine and I like her "don't give me any guff" attitude.
I saw Mike (Aimee) today, and Joey. These are the Cavataio's. I didn't interview either one of them.
I'd like to mention that I added a woman from Breakthrough to my Fb friend list, her name is Brittney. She was really nice and we had some things in common. I gave the table of ladies my full name on a piece of paper and told them to look me up on fb. The funny thing is that instead of giving my number I found it easier to just give my name. Strange connection with a great disconnect. It's almost like, you can contact me, you can know me, but not really. Apparently a number is way too personal.
This is going to be a long few days.I have so many people on my facebook and I saw so many of them in one day that I was unable to actually sit and discuss with any of them.
I wonder if a person could have a better relationship with friends in real life than on facebook. I guess that's what I'm trying to prove to some degree. I see Mike often but hardly ever communicate on fb. With other people on FB I see them only online and communicate like we know the in's and out's of every thing and it's almost like we never skip a beat. I would think at some point, I would need to really see how cool a person could be outside of the little comments about pictures or posts here and there. I may be repeating myself. It's been a long day.
Did I think about Led today? Of course. Only about 6 times an hour during the day. It's weird. I feel like I can almost disconnect from the thought of him being gone. Like I can think he's still just out of state but if I consider the thought that he is actually gone it's too much to think about so I just change the subject in my head. I had a lot going on today but I think that I thought about his little brother more than him. I didn't follow up with him yesterday and I didn't talk to him today. I want to give him space but I'm still keeping him in prayer and he's slightly consuming my thoughts. I used to watch him when he was a little kid so to me, even if he's all grown up, he will always be that little kid. (No disrespect intended)
Listening to Dexter: Season 4 Episode 7. Rick is watching it in the background. I told him this would be quick. It's been 40 minutes.
