"This is your life, are you who you want to be?"

On Sunday, March 24 the specimen Dustin volunteered to pick up Switchfoot from LAX airport.  Despite the fact that he has no car and no money for gas.  He left Biola with anticipation.  He was hoping he would have a better experience than he had last time he picked up a band for a Biola concert.  He brought a friend along to join him to meet the band--yet when he arrived at the airport he learned that there had been a miscommunication.  The band had another ride and so to Dustin's let down he just picked up the band's manager (although I don't have all of the facts, I believe that the manager looked at Dustin awkwardly and so chose to ride with him).  When Dustin returned to Biola he was slightly dazed and confused, not sure what had just happened.

When I asked Rich, Dustin's roommate, he shared his insight, "When I saw Dustin at school I realized he had just met the band Switchfoot, I asked how it was and he didn't respond."  

Little did Rich know, Dustin hadn't met the band Switchfoot, but Switchfoot the manager.   Later on that evening Dustin had another opportunity to meet the band, this time for real.  Dustin entered the green room where the band was awaiting the start of the evenings show.  Although this was his big opportunity to redeem himself, he sheepishly walked in and delivered his goods and left.  He claims that he didn't want to be an annoying fan...yet in reality he didn't want them to know he was HOMESCHOOLED!

The moral of the story is....don't be homeschooled and then try to be a hip-hopper who wants to be a background dancer for Switchfoot
