G.O.D (Gaining ones definition)



So today Danny's best friend from school came over to spend the night. I decided it might be cool to take them to Old town first, with the thought that maybe he hadnt been there. I was pretty much right. He had only gone there once with school on a day most of the buildings had been closed and since today was a holiday, I figured most of them should be open. He was talking about how last time it was lame because the buildings were all closed. I asked him at dinner (Fillipis in Little Italy) what he thought of old town this time.
" It was pretty much the same. Except I got to go in the buildings this time so it was a little cooler..."
haha so much for enlightening the lad.

The highlight for the kids was when this Japanese film crew decided to ask us- Danny, Sofia, Danny's friend, and me to be in a scene of a tour guide giving us a tour of the Casa De Estudillo. I told the director it would be up to the kids to see if they wanted to. They of course replied with an emphatic yes. So there we were following a tour guide for like 15 minutes while she spoke of what life was like in Old town San Diego. The instructions from the director were simple- act as if what she is saying is interesting and don't look at the camera. After the director yelled cut, the kids were wondering when it would be on TV. He then explained it was for Japanese TV. Danny's friend;
"Who even watches that?"
haha, I replied,
"Well Japanese people..."

While driving to little Italy I drove by the harbor to have them have a look at the Star of India, but they were actually more impressed by the Carnival Cruise Ship that had been stranded in Mexico and had been on the news- its all about being famous or infamous in the now...

At dinner, while trying to pick what to drink, the kids decided it was a special occasion and ordered cokes. It made sense to me. Danny's friend had never been to Little Italy, never eaten Fillipis, there was no school the next day, and it was a sleep over. So I was fine with it. Until Danny's friend mentioned this was like maybe the second or third time in his life he had had a coke- haha oh well...

I'll end this with why Common's G.O.D. is on here tonight. So before we headed out to little Italy, we went to the Old Town Cemetery. While Danny and His buddy were looking and reading up on Yankee Jim's demise, Sofia and me were on the other side of the cemetery, when this conversation started. Sofia;
"So where is GOD buried?"
"You mean Jesus Christ?"
"No, I mean GOD."
"Umm, GOD isn't buried anywhere."
"Where is he?"
"He's hanging out in Heaven I guess."
"Well how did he get there- you have to be buried to get there"
"Not him, he runs heaven so he didn't die to get there- you sure you don't mean Jesus Christ?"
"No, I'm talking about GOD. Well if he's not dead and he didn't get buried, then how did he get there?"
"Well, since he supposedly created everything, he just gets to be there without having to die..."
"Is God even real?"
"Well a lot of people think so-" I get cut off by her
"Because this doesn't really make sense..."
HaHa welcome to religion Fia...
