Van(s)! Like, fo'real!

So; in case you hadn't noticed, my blog's name references my favorite skate shoe company, Vans. Of all things, the 'Vans van' showed up at Newpark earlier this week. If it weren't for my being at the church building when my pastor asked me to be, I might've slept in, forgotten to hit up the park, and missed out big time! (I mean, who don't dig free stuff? -Especially when it's cool stuff you actually like...)

 

(Yup. That's my mug. I could smile a bit more...ya think?)

Thanks God! -For setting me up! That was sweet!

Waiting. 

...

...What? Oh. You're expecting me to say something else. =D 

The wait is the hardest part. But it always turns out to be the best thing for us. We learn to temper our temper. (?) That's a fancy way to say it. We need to learn to sharpen our focus so we don't freak out when what we're waiting for finally gets there. Well, I guess I'll speak for myself, at least.

I always find myself writing songs about times like this. So, here's one of my latest. You should crash the open mic night (every Friday) at Riverwalk Cafe in Nashua; you might get to hear me play it! I hope you do...

"Praying for surf"

Walk these lonely street-light scenes

I love them, but it's killing me

See, I don't a shell to hear

The waves are calling loud and clear

Chorus: 

Maybe it's time I left this town, time that I moved out

Time I moved down by the sea, It's time I moved out by the sea

Look out at the city lights

Above them all the stars burn bright

See, I don't need a gull to tell

I dream of the blue with its crashing swells
