Up Beats & Beat Downs


I remember a little Five Iron Frenzy's album title when I think about this Wednesday. Ive been really lacking in sleep lately to the point i'm feeling more and more laid back about skipping class. Though I haven't yet, the urge was certainly there this morning.. I didn't quite feel like getting up after only 4 hours of sleep to go to 8am devos, but I did anyway. The down side of it wasn't really the fact that I fought myself to wake up and get there, but I've now been officially initiated into the "I got a ticket for parking on Lindo Paseo" club. $65..

I'm not as pissed as I thought I'd be, but thats only because of God's grace. Without him and the financial blessings he's providing, I wouldn't even live in San Diego. So a parking ticket isn't a big deal... so long as i don't make the same mistake twice.. God's grace is an Up Beat in this life.

My next battle today was against those waves at mission beach. Those were some tough suckers to get past... so i decided to stick to the water... I'm so glad I didn't skip today like planned. Todays surfing was the best surfing i've had since I started this crazy semester.. seriously. So I think ill go again tomorrow.

Ahh... last but not least, almost 2 years ago in September, God blessed me with the most awesome college job I've ever had. I started in my home town, made some good friends, and now im down here still workin the same job just with different sets of people. I don't know, It's just something about Peet's stores and the people that work in them.. Its always crazy when you get people from Peet's to hang out outside their work environments.. somehow the buzz always comes to you. It was fun.. hanging out with the La Jolla peetniks... see you guys again.. in a few months maybe...

Good attitude meyn, just keep going to class and don't skip out of things due to pure laziness. Just life itself and the ability to wake up alive and in a free country is a HUGE BLESSING! never take that for granted. I like your attitude about not getting pissed off about the ticket...psh who cares anyways? There are to many more important things to get pissed off at like not being able to reach out to as many people as we can, or not being able to feed the hungry in poor countries. Thats the stuff that pisses me off...anyways, thanks for sharing meyn.

Keep on surfing! cause I can't even swim.

love,
Darko
