"march madness part 2."

another weekend ends...another week begins. such is life. after finishing up the previous entry...i went over to dennis' house to chill with him, tiff, and pat. picked up katrina and went over to dq to meet up with matt. then all of us had roscoes in pasadena. i don't remember the last time i ate there and this was long overdue so i was definitely overjoyed to have satisfied my craving for chicken and waffles.

afterwards...i went to kim's house for her birthday party. even if i came late (no surprise there) and found almost everyone belligerent and acting a fool, i had a great time. i just hope certain people remember i was there hahaha. it was nice seeing people i haven't seen in ages. i found it hard to leave because it's been difficult for me to make time for people to chill and now that i had the time and the event...i just wanted to stay awhile and make the most of it.

today was fortunately chill. i went to mass at Our Lady of Lourdes in montclair and it was actually one of the most beautiful masses i've ever attended. i don't want to admit it so openly but i did tear up. the church had a nostalgic vibe (i never see stained glass windows anymore), the homily was great, the music was amazing, and they had a organ (one of the coolest instruments...ever)...i think all those factors led to such immense beauty. i met up with the rest of the fam back at St. Paul and we rolled on down to San Juan Capistrano. it was a great time...just being at peace and being with everyone in such a great locale. once again...it was good to chill with people i don't have the chance to chill with as much as i would like to. i've never been to the mission so it was nice to go. there was a lot of pictures taken...A LOT. there's going to be a lot of time spent scavenging for them across the internet. we had lunch at pedro's tacos...amazing burritos. we strolled about the town and immersed ourselves in the simplicity of the day. seriously...i have to go back because of the incredible sense of peace i experienced. something like that just doesn't manifest itself in our daily lives. such peace has to be discovered.

and to think...march isn't over yet. i'm sure there's more madness to come.
2008...why are you in such a rush? cool it now...slow it down.
