I had a funny dream, you were wearing funny shoes...
I performed at a Baroque Music Festival today. I got five out of five on all of my scores, apparently, and I got a plaque for an "excellent performance". The plaque is now on the shelf above my bed.
Kickin a**.
Afterwards, I waited at the Orinda Library. It's such an amazing facility; it has an elevator, skylights, fireplaces, and window lounges.
It was probably the coolest library I've ever been in.
I waited for my dad for a couple of hours and read through the entire February issue of "WIRED" magazine, and then started reading a book about Republican opposition to science...
What was cool, though, is that while I was lounging in an armchair with a footrest, reading "WIRED", I read some really interesting articles that got me thinking about Slaughterhouse Five, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (yes, the Jonathan Edwards sermon), and the idea of predestination/destiny.
In a way, many scientists (referring mainly to physicists) believe in destiny and predestination, which was cool because it correlated to "Sinners in the Hands..." and Slaughterhouse Five, because I have read them all within the last week or two.
It just seemed so amazing that three seemingly unrelated things could be sending similar messages, similar meanings.
I had been talking to my dad about predestination and what it meant yesterday, and I had been thinking in depth about Slaughterhouse Five and "Sinners...", which together got me thinking about the Bible and destiny and theology... and it felt like it suddenly all clicked together.
I love epiphanies like that.
I talked with my dad about it a little bit, but he's never read Slaughterhouse, and so it was a little hard to get around the fact that while we were having this conversation, I was trying to explain what a Tralfamadorian was.
I want to dispel all these thoughts by talking to someone, not because they make me feel bad, but because I want to share this knowledge, these thoughts, with somebody.
I love sharing knowledge and ideas. but I don't know how to, really.
Seriously though, I wish I could talk to somebody about all of this.
lol.
