(no subject)
I dig Rubios. Rubios gives me super happy vibes for the rest of the afternoon. I usually get the Pesky plate which is two Especial Fish Tacos + beans, chips, and a medium drink. It's just the right amount of food because I'm not hungry afterwords but I'm in no way "Pokez full." I usually hit up el primero once a week because I work about 5 minutes away (by car). Sometimes I get it to go and sit at Mission Bay, like I did today with my work-buddy Leticia. She asked if anyone wanted to pray a novena (daily rosary for set amount of time) because of the Soledad Cross. Now, normally I would decline the offer, but I thought "Why not? I like the rosary, I like the cross, I've never done this before, let's be bold!" As I was driving to work this morning, I decided to be a bold driver. Today's theme: boldness. Anyway, it was nice at Mission Bay. I was a little weirded out a couple times because of some people walking kind of close to where we were sitting and I thought they may either taunt us or get violent, but nothing happened. We're keeping this up for something like 2 months and I could do with a little more commitment in the religious sector of my life. I've been really bad about going to church every week and I'm thinking of joining another choir that sings weekly. Now, shouldn't I be attending mass weekly and want to participate more vs. participating as a way to attend mass all the time?
There is a conspicuous lack of religious/churchy/spiritual/faith/Catholic/Christian talk on here for a reason: I'm pretty private about my faith and if you want to talk to me about it (either the theological or spiritual side), then I recommend doing it in person. It can be pretty tricky to recognize tone when talking on the internet. I'm not an apologist and I'm a cradle Catholic, so you may not get what you expect and/or want from such a discussion, but I find that by purposefully leaving it out of my dealings with most people, I might misrepresent myself. When I lived with Kenji, he once told me, "It's powerful, seeing you go to church every Sunday night. I mean, I always knew you did it, but it's another thing to see it. It makes me wish that I had kept up going to church [Methodist]." That's always stayed with me, but I haven't thought of it in a few years. I'm not attempting to evangelize even though that's a tenet of Catholicism, but I want to remain open to anyone who wants to talk to me about it.
