04/14/2006: "A Funky Good Friday To Y'All"

Music: Skavoovie and the Epitones

I went to Holy Thursday Mass yesterday. What a beautiful Mass.

The movie studio where I am temping is closed for Good Friday so I got to sleep seriously in for the first time in a few weeks. Then I got a call from the Projectionist Union business manager and I am doing my first gig with them tomorrow morning and will get paid at the price that I was quoted, which means I will get paid more for 6 hours of work being a projectionist then I would working for 3 days temping.

After I was Confirmed when I was 15, I did not go to Church until last November when a voice in my head told me to go. In the six months since then, my life has improved dramatically and in ways that I never could have imagined.

Like Richard Nixon once said, "greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain."
