woke up at 730 to drive to long beach. met up with my friend dan, met his friends chris and rory, and went to the BEACH! i've never been to a california beach today. let me just say...its a lot of fun. yeah. loved it. dan surfed and rory and chris and i boogieboarded. i plan on buying a boogieboard tomorrow. seriously. amazing!
after that, we got a bite to eat. then dan and i hung out with his wife mel for awhile.
after that, dan and mel and i went to chinatown to buy her halloween costume. however, this is where it gets interesting.
we took the train to chinatown and, therefore, had to take it back.
so we get on the train. i've heard la has some interesting people (fruits and nuts, as some chicagoans call em)... but whoa. there was one guy on the train that flashed his gun subtly (it was on his hip, tucked in his pants i think). there were other people on the train that were not packing but equally interesting...but i just kept thinking... "these are good people and just need to feel God's love." so... i talked to em. one guy was really really cool (and he was pretty normal). the guy with the gun seemed to take a liking to my chicago-ness. there were some other people from moscow on the train who also ended up being pretty cool once their hard exterior was surpassed.
i think it'd be cool to sit on a train all day in l.a. and just talk to everyone on the train. that'd probably be a good movie.
anyways, if you are of the praying persuasion, please be praying for me. i can't really go into what on this blog, but things are good and i just really need some prayer about a decision/situation.
but that is all for now. Do svidaniya! ("goodbye" in russian)
