It's amazing and surreal on how things in life can go from better to worse to better again within 48 hours. I just happen to be part of that.
So on Saturday I went to my church in Sylmar for the first time in a month and a half. Surprisingly, they were having a communion service, and unsurprisingly, there was no Pastor to coronate the service. We have a temporary part-time Pastor who comes every other Saturday, but other times when he's not there, we would have a guest preacher or just anybody in our congregation to do the sermon. Yeah, that's unbelievable but its true. Instead, one of the elders took the Pastor's spot on that day. Then I stayed after and talked with some of the members who I've known for a over a year. I actually was entertained with the discussions that we had, mostly guy shit like sports, automobiles, technology, current events and Megan Fox, who happened to host the season premiere on Saturday Night Live that night to plug her new movie and to become a future VH1 reality show star. Then I got a text from a friend of mine who wanted me to pick her up at 4 instead of 5 as scheduled. Then I told my friends later cause I gotta go and then walked out the church door. I think that scenario was something Ice Cube did 17 years ago.
I drove down to the West Valley to pick my friend up. Now I haven't seen her since the start of the NBA Finals back in the first week of June, but she looked gorgeous than the last time I saw her. We drove to Veterans Park, then to the San Fernando Mission, which happened to be closed because of some wedding, then to this church in Chatsworth which was at the top of the mountains so that we can look at the view of the West Valley. In other words, we just drove and parked around the San Fernando Valley, and during that time we were exchanging ideas for this photoshoot I was gonna do of her the following week. Also USC was playing at home that night so I kept calling my brother for the score updates. I didn't wanna turn to AM 1540 to hear the Play-by-Play for some reason. Later that night we stopped at a 7-Eleven in Valley Village and then I gave her a lift back to her place. Then I got home, found out that USC won the game against Washington 27-6 by the joyous mood of Pete Carroll's face at the post-game conference, which makes Matt Barkley 3-0 in his starts. That's good. Really good.
Back to the Ice Cube reference again. If you remember the end of his "Today was a good day" music video when the LAPD came in full force, raided his house and arrested him, and it continues on his other music video "Check yourself" where he stays in Jail. That how Sunday was kinda like for me. I was ready to watch some NFL games untill I landed in an argument with my pops and my brother. I wanted to leave my house to let off some steam, and I was thinking of checking out the venue where Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were gonna have their wedding ceremony on that day. So I put on a suit with a black tie and drove to music producer Irving Azoff 's house in Westwood, where the wedding was gonna occur.
As I got there I was mistaken as one of the security guards there, even though I am a security guard but I wasn't hired to be stationed at this wedding. The main security guard came up to me and I told him that I was a guest. He then asked who invited me, and I told him that no one invited me, that it was all over the internet and shit. Suddenly he then yelled at me and had two of his other guards to escort me to my car. That's how beefed up security was at that wedding. Plus I got there early and the whole thing didn't start until 4PM. If the wedding took place at a church, I could've gone in easily. As a matter a fact, they should made this shit public just like Michael Jackson's memorial at Staples Center. Hell they SHOULD'VE have the wedding at Staples Center cause THAT'S WHERE LAMAR WORKS FOR HIS CHECKS FROM NOVEMBER TO APRIL, including the playoffs. But they held it there cause Khole's father, the late Robert Kardashian, spent his final years of his life running his own music production company, and he was good friends with Irving Azoff.
Afterwards I drove to this bar in Winnetka, which is 2 blocks from Pierce College. Heard about it so I decided to check it. Watched the Dolphins at Chargers game for a bit, then left cause the place kept tipping people. I didn't want to buy any drinks. I then drove to this library in Burbank. That place was so full even the handicapped parking spots were booked up. Stayed there for a bit and then left. It was very hot that day, so I can assume why that place was full. Then I finally drove to North Hollywood to stay at my mom's place for a few days Then watched Kurt Warner and his team getting embarrassed by the Colts at his home turf in the University of Phoenix stadium. After that everything went back to normal.
I did do the photoshoot of my friend the next day. That was one of the best shoots I ever did. I can't think of any other time that was relatively close to Monday night's adventure. One of the pictures in on my Flickr page. And to this day, I'm still awed by that shoot and the result it produced. All I can ever say is...wow. I think I'm gonna end this here.
