No work for me
So the hardest part about not working has been mwwting new people who ask "what do you do?". Its so hard to answer. My first feeling is "do they see me as something less of a person" and the answe (by their expression) is usually yes. Who knew being unemployed had its downfalls.
So enough about that. Sunday night was great (Although I cant admit it to Josh). We went to the concert and although I had the feeling at many times, thinking "this is weird", the more I think about it, I think "that was different". Different not in a weird way but just different being aside from my normal ideas, thoughts, and way of life.
To set the scene, I felt out of place walking into a yoga studio, seeing people who were extremely different from myself. They wore flowing clothes and smelled of yoga (if there is such a thing). We sat on folded up blankets on the floor. I met Green (Joshes friend from Heartwood who was totally cool). The Mukesh Desai (the singer who I cant remember his name unless I look at Josh's journal) sat on the floor and played what was like an accordian but in a box shape which also sat on the floor.
What came out of his mouth, at first was odd. It seemed like a mouth full of yelps, and strange sounds which I didnt understand in the slightest. I honestly couldnt wait for it to end.
There was audience participation of chants and strange sounds. It was so peaceful. Perhaps tranquil in many ways. The only way to describe it, would to say losing yorself in your own mind, and finding peace within your own space. It was nice to see that feeling in everyones faces, especially Joshls.
When it was done, I still had mixed feelings but after thinking more today, I realized it was fantastic. Im glad I went & Im glad I shared the experience with Josh.
So other small things that I see that make me go "WOW" Im in San Francisco. I was sitting at the bar, and for 10 months now, I have never really digested the fact that bars here are open early in the mornings and on weekends. The sign said "Happy Hour Sat & Sun. 6am-7pm" 6AM!!!!! My god, thats even too early for me to start drinking. If it was 7am, I could understand.
