Tales of a Secret Rockstar
I'm so bored of little gods, while I'm standing on the edge of something large, while I'm standing here so close to You . . .Sunday, September 12, 2004
So much happened.
I played drums for my friend Jon on Friday night at Maple Ridge CLA. It was great. It's funny that I did this about two days after the previous "angry CLA" post. But I was excited, because my friend Jon is awesome, and a brilliant musician. The music wasn't that great because we all showed up late and didn't really get to practice. But it was still much fun.
On the ride home we started talking about CLA, and most of things in the aforementioned post. And I don't know how it happened, but I just started spilling to him about all this stuff that happened to me while I was at that church. I didn't try to justify or hide anything. I just told him some things that I experienced. Crazy weird things. And here's the thing. He was like "Wow, no wonder you don't like the church. You've been burned really bad." And I was amazed. I guess the word for this is "validation." I never put much stock in it really, but it felt so relieving to have someone agree that it's okay for me to be hurt like that. Of course, we both know that I can't just stay angry and defensive, and I have no intentions of doing so. It was just such a relief to have those wounds acknowledged to be real and not invented.
I'm tired, that's all I have to say for now.
