Is That What That Pirate Costume Was For?

This weekend was probably one of the most entertaining since coming back home for the summer. Friday I had dinner with friends where I got rocked by Ceciah....she can be a punk at times. Saturday was chill as well that consisted of a late late late night dinner with Cec and Lawen, and Sunday was more of the same except with an earlier dinner.

Dinner on Sunday was, as my amigos like to label it, a "pow-wow," where we talk about anything and everything, including subjects we do not normally talk about. I had the priviledge of sharing this experience with La Bestia (LB to be short) and a person who actually believes fate determines our lives. I think I'm going to refer to her as........LW.

We began the discussion of fate vs free will. LB and LW seem to believe that fate is real and everything around us is fate, and that everything happens for a reason. While I can agree with the latter part of the statement, I feel fate does not exist and is too often confused with the statement that everything happens for a reason. I would like to think that I am in control of what I do with my life, not some idea that I was destined to do something. Some believe free will determines fate, but that doesn't make much sense if you think about it. One's actions determines their future, not their surroundings. I don't believe people are destined to be something. I believe they need to work towards it and earn it. Destiny sure isn't going to help them through the process. It will be their free will. I could go on and on arguing about this but it gets tedious.

The great/unfortunate thing about our gatherings is the information some people share. It can make you laugh or cringe, leave you speechless or wanting more answers. Last night, LB was kind enough to let us know about her experience at the amusement park. Fortunately for her, she was tall enough for the dragon ride. She said the ride at times was not fun but was happy to conquer it. It was apparently the biggest ride she's ever been on. Me personally, I don't like amusement parks.

You know how some people like to dress up to go watch Star Wars or Harry Potter? Turns out, LB likes to dress up as well whenever attending amusement parks. To each their own I guess. I'm not here to judge.

LW is an interesting individual to me. I see the inner-beast in her is desperate to come out, but LW is hesitant to open up the cage. What she needs to do is step up her free will and handle it. And by that I don't mean to go out with a guy just because he makes you laugh. Leading someone on is no bueno. I guess it makes sense that she's friends with LB....she's a veteran at that.

I, at times, was the focal point of the discussion. Nothing as interesting as LB, however.

After dinner, I went to another gathering that was also entertaining. Overall, it was a great night and great weekend.

I hope no one is offended by this blog. If they are (LB???), oh well. I'm sure you really don't meet the minimum height requirement for the ride at the amusement park.
