Somewhere I belong

So I have had a very interesting Labor day weekend. On Friday my buddy Jacob came by and picked me up and we headed over to a bar called Gaslamp . My friend Jacob knows the band that plays there personally and introduced me to a couple of them. The ones i was introduced too were awesome and I am sure the rest of them were awesome too. The bar was really interesting, bustling with a lot of people (this was my first bar ever). The music was broken into two set lists and let me tell you it was awesome! They are an 80's cover band and play some pretty awesome songs that everyone enjoyed and loved dancing to. Yes even I danced though I am not sure you can call what I was doing dancing I at least attempted to do so.

So my friend and I Jacob were there for a while enjoying he music and Jacob ran into some of his friends there who i hadn't met before. To say they were interesting would be an understatement. After the band was finished(ending with the song Crazy Train!) Jacob and i headed off to his house where I stayed this weekend and we ended our first day.

The second day (Saturday) was less eventful as Jacob had work for most the day and that left me at his house alone. It was okay for the most part mostly watching Zim, DBZ or the History channel. All that changed later on though when we headed to another bar where the band we saw the night before had their guitarist playing. This band also did 80's but this was a bar for karaoke. Jacob tried getting me to sign up but I didn't want to for my first time there around. So that was an interesting experience seeing every sing and dance up on stage and they were all awesome, I kind of regret not getting a chance too but there is always next time. As for today well just mainly us chillin for a bit and then me going home.

There was an interesting thought I did have this weekend though. As I stood, amongst the huge crowd of people, I felt something I have never felt before. I felt as if I didn't belong. As if this was a world I wasn't supposed to be in or just didn't fit in. I felt different than everyone else and felt I was sort of a black sheep who stood out. I suppose its all a new scene to me. I go form my Christian friends to here suddenly and its sort of a culture shock. I mean we see it in movies and media but to go out and experience it is different. I mean I was not misrepresenting Christ but I wasn't representing Him either. I just felt, I dunno lost I guess. I suppose this isn't my place and that not everyone is built for bars, or clubs. Guess it just isn't for me.
