Friday, August 01, 2008 ( 2:32 AM ) shut up christine sunday is international forgiveness day so we're going to have a bonfire on the beach to burn away our sins in the cleansing fires of truth. kidding. i'm wary of telling people about events like this, because it may come across kind of cultish. i've been there. NO, not in a cult, but a while back my parents were really concerned about me because i wasn't working, and kept getting rid of my clothes and stuff in my room, and was coming home late every weekend after going to the santa ana jail. i remember telling my mom that i wanted to do a vipassana meditation retreat (10 days of silence) and she totally flipped out and accused my friends of brainwashing me. its funny now, in hindsight. and understandable. my parents are hardcore traditional catholic filipinos. a large part of it was my fault because i wasn't communicating things like why i needed to be at the jail at 4 o'clock in the morning. everything is cool now, and my parents completely support me, and the work i do. anywho. Day of Forgiveness. is all about forgiveness. so we're meeting up at Cabrillo Beach this Sunday, 6pm, if anyone is interested. the point of this post is that i spent the day looking for wood for the bonfire. i call up all these pallet companies to ask if they can donate wood scraps. One man tells me I can have all the wood I want..as much as I can fit in my car, for free. fo real? so i get there, and there are crates of logs on the sidewalk that i am free to pick thru. as i'm filling up my trunk, one of the workers (Sam) comes out and hands me a pair of thick leather gloves, "so ya don't get any splinters. careful" AND he tells me to keep the gloves. sweetheart. whatever doesn't get picked up is eventually thrown away. do yourself a favor and get your free bbq/bonfire wood from these nice folks. call them first and ask for permission Pacific Pallet Company 2210 W Gaylord St, Long Beach, CA 90813 562-437-2005 #
