I love Ash Wednesday because it’s the one day of the year where you’re considered a weirdo if you don’t have a big black mark on your forehead. For the first time in jameson’s Ash Wednesday history, I actually fasted. Mind, it was only until 6, but I figure God will appreciate the effort. I’m not 100% sure why I did it. I’m not entirely religious, but I felt like I needed some sort of cleansing or rejuvenation to happen in my life. Actually, I guess I am a tad religious considering the fact that I was really ticked off at the 3 kings cakes I saw being passed around in the hallway not to mention a conveniently dated bake sale after school. I mean, you don’t have to fast all of Lent, but for Christ’s sake (literally) at least respect Ash Wednesday.
I think its because I learned all about Lent and Easter from the perspective of the Greek Orthodox, who take Lent far more seriously than most Americans. To them, Lent is more holy than Christmas. Of course my view on the typical American Christmas is not a happy one.
Last night, I hung out with a friend of mine that I hadn’t seen in FOREVER. We ran into some old friends on the way as well. Being with them made me forget how much I love the commodity between men. I’m dead serious, being around boys makes me realize how pointless some female conversations and arguments are. Of course the downside of being male is never really being able to talk about your “feelings” in front of friends. Last night was an experience I probably needed to be reminded not to take life so damn seriously.
Of course, last night was also Super Tuesday. As a staunch Obama supporter, I guess its needless to say I was disappointed with the American public’s support of Hilary McPantsuit Clinton. I was even more disturbed with Huckabee’s tie with Romney and his sweep of the south. Ever since I saw Jesus Camp, I just can’t take Evangelicals seriously.
Anyway, this really has nothing to do with politics, but the greatest song parody I’ve ever seen was on mad tv the other day and I managed to find it on youtube.
MREEeeeeehhh...It’s the most glorious thing i’ve ever seen/heard. Hillary’s singing is impeccable, almost better than rihanna’s to be honest. kudos to heidi klum and seal who apparently directed it.its almost as good as Andy Sandberg's SNL song about iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Speaking of which, an alarm went off in govenrment yesterday and Katherine felt the need to hide under her desk yelling, " IRAQ IRAN!" at the top of lungs for no reason at all. i think fritchels cried she was laughing so hard.
