Stage 1, Day 26
I finished busking at Bluesfest. I made nearly over 450$, nearly 500$. This is over the course of 8 days since July 3 of working intensely for 2-3 hours each time, as though I'm actually performing live. I finished on the 12th, went to a friend's, slept, and we went to her parent's cottage. I stayed there between Sunday morning, and Monday afternoon.
Man, I relaxed, and had some fun, whether it was a ride on the Sea-doo, messing around with people's dogs; I even spent a straight half-hour hanging out with this random guy's 3 kids. I was with my female friend, we had a dog, and they had a dog, so it wasn't contrived in any way. I felt like Gosling's character from 'Drive', when he gives his neighbor's kid a toothpick; somehow, it all came off as appropriate. I do think it's bogus that there's this stigma (or to word it better, instant suspicion) when I have any conversation with a kid that's not part of the family. Bill Burr made a good point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc--FjGgAig
We (my friend, her parents, and I) all watched 'Forrest Gump' in the evening. It was my second time watching through. That movie hits me hard; it made my friend blubber in hardcore tears, basically my first reaction to watching the movie, alone, that is. It truly is a brilliant movie, with Tom Hanks doing an amazing job at the character, three awesome general story arches, infinite "quotation value" (that's a valuation I just made up). If you're reading this, and haven't seen Forrest Gump, you just have to! Do it now!
Strictly sub-based stuff; it doesn't feel like much is going on ostensibly. However, there have been inner shifts that have been significant, and I have completely forgotten about them. The only thing is that I haven't approached a woman since the beginning of this program. It is fair and reasonable that the first stage conducts a sort of "cocoon" phase. Too much action could molest that process. LOL @ 'molest'
I came back from the cottage around 6, hit the gym, did groceries, and counted my Bluesfest coinage. I'm very tired and don't feel motivated at all. I'll hit the hay and check back with you all later on.
