Fellowship committee meeting this past Saturday.
Took us four hours.
Seriously need to change that.
The atmosphere... is worrying.
Too many people unwilling to compromise or collaborate.
Arguing over petty little things.
My head was throbbing all day. Slept like a log that night.
The Ricky's Counselling course wasn't really useful, if you ask me.
Belittled by some cocky uncle who thinks he's some wiseman guru.
Unbelievable.

My... Ramblings
Haven't blogged in a while.
Not a lot happening of late. Work five days a week. Church Saturday. Church Sunday. Work...
James Blunt concert this Friday. Taking the day off so there's no rush rush.
Still trying to work through issues from two years ago. They keep rearing their ugly heads.
It still hurts. But what can I do? Go to another church? Leave town?
All I can do is brace myself for more every week.
Am I a masochist?

My Disillusionment
Very, very, extremely annoyed about choir right now.
I was not aware that the 诗班长 had the authority to hire and fire as she wished.
I wonder what sort of input was sought on these decisions.
I wonder who, if anyone, was consulted.
This is supposed to be a God-serving choir, not someone's selective play group.
Are we supposed to be scared now? Are we supposed to suck up to her and get in her good books so we can stay in the choir?
I'd be even more outraged if some higher power authorized this.
This is getting out of control. Ridiculous.
I demand an explanation.

My Heavy Heart
You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)
Josh Groban
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy I
I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you I
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside I
I'll be there to find you
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Everyone needs to be heard
You are loved

My Just Reward
This is not good...
I'm actually beginning to accept defeat...
I'm actually beginning to accept that I'll never live happily ever after...
I'm actually beginning to accept that God will not give me an abundant life because my sins are too heavy for His grace...
I'm actually beginning... to accept... that I will be alone...

Interesting Parallel
What's more interesting to see?
The migration of salmon fish eastward up the river to spawn and die?
Or the migration of humans westward down the highway to watch these salmon fish spawn and die?
XD wahahaha I kill myself...

My Perfect Plan...
... is about to fall apart.
Don't ruin it for me, Luis.
...
Downloading songs by Josh Groban that weren't released on his two albums. And of course waiting for his newest album, AWAKE, to be released November 7.

My Hat Trick
What a way to go out at the end of the season.
The cabbies didn't show up yesterday so we went down to Northland and played the Center St. Church people. We went about 8v8 on a shortened field. They had a great young player, Justin, who was unquestionably the best of us all. Then they made the mistake of sticking him in goal and we dominated.
Scored a hat trick, and I was most proud of the second and third goals. The first one I don't remember much of. I think it was a simple tap-in.
The second one, I took a pass from Davis in midfield, ran past 3 or 4 players, and slotted the ball into the far corner at the end of the first half.
Came close to a third early in the second half when I got the ball around 20 yards out in the middle, and had a little space, so I curled it towards goal right away. It beat the keeper but came back off the crossbar.
The third one, when it finally came, I somehow ended up with the ball on the right side about 20 yards from goal, and just shot it as hard as I could while trying to keep it on target. Justin was in goal at the time and he got a hand to it, but it fell into the net behind him anyway. Actually I think if he didn't get a touch, it might've hit the bar a second time.
I think it was generally a good performance, considering my glasses kept slipping everytime I looked down and I had a hard time trying to see the ball at my feet. Still tire too easily, and probably should've scored a couple more, but all in all not a bad outing.
Now, onto indoor practice season...
