0:00.0 | The other day I was hanging out with our interns that we have here at College Ave. |
0:04.3 | It's a church that I pastor here in San Diego College Ave. |
0:07.3 | And our interns were asking this question to one another. |
0:10.7 | And I thought it was a really interesting question, mainly because of the way that it was phrased. |
0:14.5 | And the question is, what is your aesthetic wrinkle? |
0:17.5 | And I always thought, you know, as I'm hearing them, I'm trying to pick up from context clues what I mean because I don't want to be the old guy that goes, what does that |
0:24.7 | mean if it's like kind of hip and happening? But I figured out pretty quickly. Essentially, |
0:29.3 | the notion is, is there anything about you that have someone looked at you from the outside? |
0:34.2 | So maybe you are prototypically the fisherman hunter type and camo is kind of |
0:40.4 | your go-to color and you liking yourself a bit of a woodsman and an outdoorsman. And yet you have an |
0:47.6 | aesthetic wrinkle, which is you're also really, really deeply into figure skating. So like figure |
0:52.7 | skating would be your aesthetic wrinkle. Like it's the |

1:18.2 | Like before it was WWF back in the day and then it switched to WWE. |
1:22.4 | But I just remember watching that. |
1:24.5 | And my brother and I would like practice all the moves on each other and like try to power bomb each other and suplex everything and just thought it was awesome. So like at that time it was every Monday and Thursday. But it was this ongoing drama like how my mom watched soap operas. This was this ongoing drama. You'd have these people who were fighting and fighting for the belt, but they had |
1:44.1 | interpersonal relationships and romantic interests with the women that were involved. It was just |
1:49.6 | intriguing to me. And I remember one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, which this doesn't |
1:55.1 | make me unique to anything. It's probably a fairly boilerplate for most people watching |
1:59.9 | that season of WWEE is the Rock. |
