I'm Hungery

So it has been lent for just over two weeks, and even though I am not always fully sure of my opinions on all of this stuff (we won't get into this), I was thinking of doing something for it. At the very least you can consider lent being a catalyst. I was not quite sure what my plans were, either starting something new that I would consider productive to my life, or giving something big up that would be productive to my life. Seeing as I couldn't thing of the latter, I opted for the former. I was completely stumped for that one two, and, long story short, came up with a good idea outside of both of those.

I have decided not to eat on Fridays, which is not really productive, but when I thought about it, I just felt like it was a good idea. I don't know what I will get out of it, but if I'm lucky I might think about something, otherwise I'll just be a little hungry on Fridays. I decided it was more counting that giving up watching TV or computer or something during lent, which seems trivial and something I would've done in 5th grade. To extend it a little further, I am not calling it 12 AM Friday to 12 AM Saturday, because I feel it a cop-out to wait until midnight to eat. Instead I am counting from when I wake up until when I fall asleep on Friday.

It has turned out not to be that hard up until about 10 PM, at which I am just plain hungry. the downside of this is that I just woke up from a nap, so I won't be sleeping for awhile, and will just be very hungry.

New goal

As most of our in depth conversation occurred beyond the range of the interweb, no list was created. As me and Mr. Duffy have very long conversations every couple of weeks via the telephony, I will make it a goal to assemble a list of some sort when our next conversation occurs.

In the meantime I will resume reading the Watchmen, which I have recently discovered on somebody's computer on our college network...I feel bad because I have started reading it only 4 days before it's movie's release, and therefore am only slightly above a child who's favorite bands derive from guitar hero experience. In my defense, I had previously heard of the series, and have read other works of Alan Moore.

I am very much enjoying it, although he lets in some English terms occasionally. (I doubt New Yorkers frequently use the phrase "Called On") Jake seem to be of a different opinion of the whole thing, but as I have previously stated, I have found no reason to take stock in the others' opinions.
