My legs hurt.

Most-played albums at the moment:
"Easy Wonderful" by Guster
"Flamingo" by Brandon Flowers
"The Lord of the Rings OST" by Howard Shore


Tonight I led an event for Life Teen at my church. One in which I was out of my comfort zone. Outdoor games. Due to the three day weekend, we were putting on a non-teaching night of fun for the kids. I would have preferred standing in front of them and pr/teaching for them. But I think that's just because I'm weird. As it was, I had a lot of fun organizing the event itself... I wasn't responsible for much, if any, of the planning - because I wasn't originally supposed to be leading the night. Regardless - it was enjoyable... and for some strange reason very, very exhausting.

We had Corn Hole, Ladder Ball, Basketball, 4-square, ultimate frisbee, regular frisbee, some card games, and sidewalk chalk. We also had a football hiding in my trunk that we never got out because we didn't want them tackling one another on asphalt... which they would have done eagerly.

But yeah... that's was a benchmark for me... leading an event, confidently, with which I was quite uncomfortable. And for some reason, after that day - my legs really hurt.


In the meantime - the Braves lost game 3 of the NLDS, and I was saddened... but at least the Falcons are 4-1. That's pretty good news. Oh, and Georgia won yesterday... that was good. And Florida lost. And Alabama lost. Both generally good things, if not so great for the SEC's hopes to be in the championship this year.


Also, over the course of the day - I listened to a lot of music. Mostly the first two albums listed above. I like music. I also like being reminded of things that are important to me. These two albums do that both directly and indirectly.

They can be tacked onto a list I made in a previous post. Of course, at the time - I described that list of things as reminding me of something that was bittersweet. And even though it's still something I don't exactly go out of my way to think of - I've decided it isn't bitter.

It just isn't as sweet as I'd like. However, it has become an unavoidable occurrence - so I decided to stop letting it bother me. But really, I think about this every day, without even really realizing at first that my mind has gone there...

So I guess it's more of a surprising and sweet thing.

Or something.

We changed topics somewhere along the line up there - my bad. You'll probably get some sweet Words of Whiz Dumb tomorrow.

And by "you all" I mean... the one or two people who actually read this. *Sigh*
