Counting Crows


Last night I finally saw the Counting Crows live.  I was excited since Toad and the Wet Sprocket was opening.  Unfortunately, their sound people sucked, and the vocals were horrible.  Counting Crows, on the other hand, did not disappoint.  I am even more of an Adam Duritz fan after watching him orchestrate the show.  Also the Counting Crows choose an organization to support in every city.  Minneapolis' organization was Open Arms.  People were donating as they left the concert.  As I was walking by the Open Arms table, I asked the how their organization was chosen.  He said he wasn't sure, but he knew Duritz often helped with HIV/AIDS organizations.


Speaking of crows and other birds (see how I made the transition?), today as I was leaving my Pumped class at the gym, I noticed two birds squawking.  I looked up from my bike thinking I'd see a nest.  Instead I saw a baby bird stuck in this wire mesh.  Another lady, also leaving, and I summoned a janitor to save the bird.  The janitor guaranteed us that he would save the baby bird.  Both of us didn't really want to leave.  He said we could stay and watch, but that he would make sure the bird was OK.  I could tell he wanted us to leave and knew he had called for a ladder, so we left putting our faith in his kindness.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
