So it begins...

Well Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) has come and gone and while everyone is recovering from the excessive amounts of booze and/or food comsumed the night before, the good Catholics drag their asses to church for the first time since Christmas Eve and get ashes.

It also is the begining of Lent - the 40 days and 40 nights that Jesus sent in the desert tempted by the devil. ( Small religion lesson for all those who do not know) - Anyways...traditionally during this period of time you are supposed to give something up or pledge to do something good...something along those lines.

Every year as far as I can remember, I have been told to give up something like junk food, or TV after dinner or something like that and as long as I can remember I have not lasted the 40 days at all. Each year after I admitted defeat, I would say that next year I would give something up for real and that would make up for the fact that I break all sorts of commandments.

Two years ago I decided to give something up that was starting to become a regular thing in my life. I decided to give up smoking pot along with my roommate for Lent. I was so proud of myself when I went all of the Lenten season without smoking pot at all...I felt really really good about myself. Easter rolled around and my roommate spent it with me at my house and we were all set to go back to school when BANG.....car accident less than 3 miles from campus.

I took that as a clear sign that giving something up for Lent doesnt mean that the good Lord if by your side...so I stopped.

If I decide to give something up for Lent...I will be less naive in thinking that it cancels out everything else.

Lousiana...

is the pelican state...

If you dont know what that means then your not as cool as you think!!....sorry

Well I am THAT guy...

I sorta ruined my roommates surprise party...

Not entirely my fault though. I was out in charge of getting everyone to come because apparently I'm the only one who knows everybody and knows some voo-doo magic way of getting in touch with them...

Anyways, we were getting all ready yesterday and we start finding out that some people weren't even going to be there until way later because of work. So last minute we decide to postpone the party. I started calling everyone I was supposed to and let them all know. 

Cut to about 3 hours later...we are just chillin on the couch and all of a sudden all of my roommates friends from back home show up!! I was mortified. Apparently my roommate's sister (who I used to get through to her friends from home) either misunderstood my message I sent her or didn't read the entire thing because she never told them that it was postponed. 

Even though my roommate had a great time, and her friends from home had a great time, and I had a great time, my other 2 roommates I'm positive are abou ready to rip my face off. One of them kept telling me last night that everything was fine and that she wasn't mad. The other mad it seem like she was ok and then would say something like "whatever, we'll talk later" and then avoid me the whole night. 

This just keeps adding to everything...I just want to go home. I cant even be happy about how good everything actually turned out  because of them. And I know that they will act cordial about things and not say anything but they will continue on making me feel like I am the 3rd wheel in my own house....can you believe that? 

Surprising..

Brangelina acting cold...mean...and somewhat heartless towards Ryan Seacrest...no! couldn't be! say it ain't so!! I mean, Ryan Seacrest is such a hard-hitting - nothing-but-the-facts journalist...I can't believe they would snub him... 

;) too funny!

I Know It's Late but....

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

=)

In Three Words...

..Fuck my life!!!

I get to exit 6 on 95 going back to school and all of a sudden my car starts smoking!! I get off the exit and pull over half expecting a massive explosion to happen momentarily...freaking out, I call Dad (I mean seriously, what else would I do??) After that I called my friend Erin (thank goodness she lives 10 minutes from where I broke down) Then a cop comes and forces me to call AAA before I can call anyone else. AAA takes an hour and 15 minutes to come tow me ( they said it would be 30 minutes tops)...so I am waiting with Erin which was nice to catch up!! I tell the tow-man to leave my keys under the drivers side mat...he left them in the mechanic drop box...awesome! Dad and Ryan come up to put antifreeze/coolant in my car because we all figure it just overheated...wrong! Upon further inspection, the entire passenger side floor front and back are soaked with antifreeze...awesome! So needless to say it is probably heating cord (...or something like that?)

So now I am stranded in Providence and break is 4 days away....WTF??

....was this fucking necessary...no!

Faith

I believe in God.

I honestly say my prayers before I go to bed at night.

I have unwavering faith in his power and that he has some "bigger plan" already laid out. 

I believe that he wouldn't throw any hurdle in my way if he knew I couldn't jump it.

With that being said, I feel like something big, no huge actually, is going to happen in my life that will make every unanswered "why?" and all these mental, physical, and emotional obstacles seem small and meaningless.

Hopefully it will come in the form of a string of blockbusters that gain me fame and recognition from all of Hollywood's greats, a star on Hollywood Boulevard, and hell, even an Oscar or 6...

...that's what I'm talkin about ;)
