Good people are good times. And I hope that we remember that. Being put in a cabin with 5 other people (Dana, Sebastien, Navid, Jess & Danielle) was a lot of fun. And in particular, many times I can’t remember or recall these stories. But the fact is that I’m glad that I didn’t know many of the people on the trip.
It let me be present, and the fact is I had a blast even though it’s so hard to sometimes.
From Dana being back, to meeting people that I really respect. Who can have fun without drinking, but do drink, and who like to be goofy in their own skin – that’s what makes it a lot of fun. I certainly met some people who I really respect in terms of their ability to have fun and let loose.
And for myself! In these 3 days, I had the chance to be present with people, meet Dave’s beautiful family. See where Andrew grew up, and experience his town. I had the chance to have fun with stinging fingers, and have my thumb practically bitten off, so much to the point that it’s still numb and I can barely feel anything. I got to experience the most painful ride up to the cabin cause Navid drives slow as fuck, but also had the chance to sit down and get to know all of them speaking about things from religion, etc and learn about them. And then I also had the chance to shine with defusing a situation where everyone else was uncomfortable and I think it was one of the best places where I can shine – working in situations where other people can’t, or are not willing to. I certainly hope they appreciate it. And I certainly hope that Melissa and Cole get their lives figured out. The amount of pain they suffer must be extremely high. If only we could help.
I had a fun time this weekend – taking a step away from the bustling city, and to at least get to witness the company of real people in a real setting.
Besides the other niceties, like going to Stickybudz in Revelstoke, etc. I really had a fun time, and I hope that other people did too and that they enjoyed my company as much as I did theirs. It makes me glad to have one of these experiences because of my friendship with Dana.
This was a fun weekend and I think what made it so fun was that the group meshed well together and we really got tested in a lot of different ways. But we had each our functional role, and it worked out really well.
Perhaps recreated, it wouldn’t be as good. Maybe it’s better to not pursue a friendship with these individuals. I dont know. Either way, it was a lot of fun, and I’m grateful to be alive, and for God (or whoever it is), to have granted me the ability to see and experience so much emotion, myself and among others in such a beautiful way. Also, not to mention, almost dying having to jump off a 5 ft cliff without my board because I got stuck after hours on backside of Revelstoke on my first run LOL.
May we always work to improve ourselves and our relationships to this level.
Also, story so I can remember. A girl from Andy’s high school. It was her birthday and he took her to Red Lobster because she wanted to go to Red Lobster, and even though he’s allergic. “That’s classic Andy for you”.
I like good people, a lot.
Also, join the commune with Sasha, Silky, Becky, MariGold & forget. I’ll be the lumberjack
