lent is upon us. for the next 40 days & 40 nights im not gonna worry about what food vice i'll sacrifice but instead im gonna focus on the extra things i could do spiritually. u know, "i wanna do something better for mankind & all." you know donate my time and money to some worthy cause or just genuinely help someone in need, that kind of do-gooder stuff. but i love seein how people are giving up stuff like rice, fast food, booze, etchetera, etchetera, etchetera.... although im sure they are determined, i hope they are intending to sacrifice how JC sacrificed and not some excuse to kick in their 2010 diet resolutions. im jus saying, im not one to judge. how bout this cross tattoo? i like it. "i like it a-lawt" here's to the next 40/40 & hoping we all are better people after.
ashes, ashes, we all fall down. its ash wednesday which only means lent is here = time for soul searching, sacrifice, repentance & reflection for all the catholic folk. yes i embrace my spirituality. you definitely know its lent when you see all those fast food chains heavily endorsing their fish sandwiches e.g. mcdo w/99cents filet-o-fish or jack-in-the-crack w/2 for $3 fish fillets. hahaha. watch you'll see. it's sacrifice and growth through self-denial. should i give up or gain something? im not sure what im gonna do. but in the past, i have managed to give up something for the full 40 days/nights & it felt so good to know that i had the self control to do it. now, i was thinking about giving up blogging (nah, dont think so) but true sacrifice would mean giving up ONE of my weaknesses. not just food/soda but something significant to better myself. maybe i'll just do a little something something extra (a really good deed here & there). we'll see. btw, dont be freaked out or judge people w/black crosses on their foreheads. they didnt forget to wash their faces; they supposed to look like that.
anyhoo, this time always reminds me of the movie, 40 days & 40 nights. a movie w/nudity & strong sexual content is associated w/lent? well ya. its about a guy who freely chooses to stay celibate (no sex whatsoever) for the 40 days of lent until conflict comes in the form of his dream girl, shannon sossamon. but i love this movie. i love shannon & josh as an onscreen couple. but i remember watching this in theatres and instantly wanted to buy the dvd after. that was when movie-to-dvd took a long ass time. on the biggest side note, ashton kutcher & katie holmes were set to play the parts of matt & erica; thank GOD scheduling conflicts caused them to reject.
Erica: If I told you, "Don't think about the color red", what would you think about?
Matt: Sex.
