Watching THe social Network again.
I love that movie.
I was talking to my dad today, and he said some interesting stuff, which made me think.
He's only got 4 months left, and they've finally put him in the drug unit. Which means that this whole time they haven't been catering for his needs, even though he's been begging for years, quite pathetic really. If someone recognises their weaknessess and asks for help, and you don't give it to them??
Meh, at least he's in the unit now.
Oh anyway, back to the story. He has this pastor that comes in and sees him, he goes to church, he goes to NA and he goes to this bible study, and he's only just started going to the bibles study.
He told me that he started going to this bible study a while ago, but when he went to shake the leaders hands, the leader had "soft, womanly hands" and spoke femininely. SO my dad stopped going.
My dad said he felt like saying "Dude, my eyes are up here."
But isn't that strange. First impressions are very important. Because that guy had gentle voice and womanly hands, my dad didn't go to the bible study until today... even though my dad has been a christian for a long time.
My dad said that he wasn't interested in being preached at my someone who wasn't manly... which sounds funny, but thats the way he felt. People like him, usually don't respect men with soft lady hands.
But i'm glad my dads doing well. He's participating in "good" fun as he put it, instead of "bad" fun. For example, he plays cards with his friends, and the loser has to dunk his head in the fish tank full of 20cm fish.
Practised driving again today. That was fun.
And i will be going to work at Foodworks burpengary again very shortly.
Toodles.
