hey, what's that on your face?

so it's ash wednesday. despite the fact that both the daily calendar on my desk, and the calendar on the wall above my desk mention this, i was oblivious until someone came into my 9am class with ash on their forehead. well, if my obliviousness counts for anything i guess you could say i'm being a good athiest. so that's comforting.

sometimes i like to join in on the spirit of religious holidays. christmas is an example. i enjoy time off from school/work, and time to catch up with family and friends, including those you haven't seen in a while. so i was thinking, maybe i'll participate in lent. nothing so drastic as not eating meat on fridays (i mean, please people. if god didnt want me eating burgers on fridays he would've given them invulnerability every week.), but a little something.

so, for lent, i'm giving up "not being awesome." well, it looks like i'm done. i really got a jump on it this year. yours is going to take you 40 days? slacker.
