Today was yet another work day and it went as usual.Nothing to write home about.But I have a three day weekend coming to me as always.I am glad for the much needed break from a lot of the people that I have to be around three days a week.Tomorrow night,I wil be entertaining my friends where I sing and that will be fun.
Today,I am checking in with mixed emotions.The main reason for my happiness regarding my three day weekend away from the people I am around three days a week is because I do have to put up with a lot of ignorance from people.One of them in particular is a lady who never has a clue as to what you are talking about nor what you like.This person has said that she never heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd nor does she know who they are.She always says "That's way before my time."and she does not know any other music other than country western music.Don't get me wrong,I like that type of music myself because I sing it as part of my act and I also sing Sinatra,Bennett,Manilow and other sorts of Vegas style songs.Peopel have told me that I am a combination of Vegas and Nashville rolled into one.Though I have never let that go to my head,it still makes me feel good to receive such a comment.But I just can't listen to only one type of music.I have to have a variety.What gets me is this:She happens to be at the age to know what I know but she always claims to not know it.When I mentioned almost a month ago that Mark David Chapman was denied parole,she asked "Who's He?"Some of the people I know at work have simply advised me not to get too upset about it and that she is in her own little world and she refuses to venture out of it.That lady is totally the opposite of me.I am trying to get out of my comfort zone(i.e.my own little world)and trying to live life the best way that I know how by sharing my singing talent and trying to be around people as much as possible.I will also be trying a new support group that is held on Wednesday night.It is based at a church within the county that I live.I will also keep you all posted on how that goes.Plus,the only movies she watches are horror movies.Again,don't get me wrong,I also love horror movies but not all of the time.Likewise with music,I got to have variety when it also comes to movies.I like comedies,dramas and movies based on true stories and inspired by actual events alongside animated,including Disney,and family films.But again,ignorance is everywhere and I do accept that.But how much is too much?I also wonder if there are limits to ignorance.
On a lighter note,I am also happy that the Sabres won last night.I was worried for a while when the Bruins dominated most of the game.But the Sabres came back to tie the score,force an overtime and have a shootout to win the game 5-4.It was surprising as well as a nail biter.They also made too many mistakes in the forms of turnovers and costly penalties,which they need to work on if they are to continue to do great.But again,I am happy that they won.Saturday night,they will host the Toronto Maple Leafs in Buffalo.I am hoping for another win.But this time,I hope that the Sabres can dominate this time and win big.Again,another win would be great.
Regarding SSA,nothing happened today and no impure thoughts came in nor any flashbacks.But they can happen when least expected.I have to be on guard.
Well,that was my day.It was not very eventful but at least I worked and that went as well as it could.Again,I am happy for the weekend.
Comments are welcomed.Thanks in advance.FJ
