To Lima, Ohio
Travels and Adventures November 2nd, 2002I’m on my flight to Columbia, OH, then off to Lima, OH. Yesterday morning I played golf with Fr. Neil. It’s my spiritual advisement, or the 18 stations of the cross. Fr. Neil is a funny man from Scotland with tremendous depth. I didn’t even care so much about my game, but I wanted to figure out which hole my house is on.; Luckily, it’s at the end of the 13th hole, and not too many people will be dropping balls in my front yard.
Then in the afternoon, I came back to the studio to slam the week. I met Stephanie for dinner. We played phone tag, running around trying to meet each other. She looked so beautiful…walking towards me on the sidewalk.
I ran back to the studio, windows down and the heat on. It does get cold in the desert. I listened to Mozart’s “Requiem” (twice) and updated supafly.com. A website takes; a lot of work.; It’s not a glamorous way to break up a Friday night, but it has to be done.
I came home and fell asleep listening to Matt remix Andrea’s first CD.
The further I get away from the Real World, the happier I am.
Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened if I made it real big after the Real World. I don’t know…maybe as a V.J. then maybe a talk show host or something. Imagine the good I could do!
But, the amount of good I can do is not solely dependent of opportunity. God didn’t need me to be famous to do His work, and he doesn’t need me to be more famous now. Lives were changed long before we turned on our first television.
On side note, I remember when we only had one phone in the house. If you had more than one, it was a sign of wealth. The same went for a television, and definitely a VCR—each house only had one. When will we have a computer in every room of the house? I know many people already do, but when will everyone? I understand computers are fundamentally different than televisions and telephones, because those are only receiving devices. Telephones still haven’t changed much in 40 years, and TV’s are just now starting to evolve in a new direction, with high definition images and slim design. So they become old much faster, but
So I am watching this movie, Who is Elsor Finster or something like that. It’s a movie about a man who loves movies, and they map out a perfect plot line through a movie by telling the story of their lives. There were so many scenes that were so lively and classic, they are only fit for the movies. You know, the cops in full-size sedans parked outside the house waiting for the cops and crooks to come out. That would be so cool to have one of those outside my house. But I did, in New Orleans. I lived in a mansion, and there were cops at our house 24/7 to keep away trouble.
When I was a kid, there was a cheesy Bon Jovie song that mimicked the young love dramas much like Aerosmith did in their videos Crying, Amazing, and Living on the Edge.
We are somewhere over the Midwest now. The land is all patchwork farms sewn with roads and highways. It’s going to be 35 degrees when I get out of the plane. Ugh! I am glad I brought my jacket.
