Ash Wednesday:
"Remember, man, that you are dust
And unto dust you shall return."
A Holy day on the Catholic calendar. I'm not exactly a good Catholic.
Hell, I swear, I drink, I had sex before marriage, I think dirty things every 10 seconds and never go to church. Who am I kidding? I drove by St. Mary's this morning to get some ashes on my forehead but it was a mass and I didn't have time. So now on lunch I plan on walking around to find a church doling out ashes. Gotta make that sacrifice.
Now if your religious today is a big day for you. Your probably fasting, abstaining from meat and asking god for forgiveness for all your sins. I'm not. But I'm wondering today if I should.
See, I have a minor announcement to make. I'm having a kid. Wife's almost 5 months now so yeah El Pad slipped one past the goalie. Got me thinking, do i want to raise my child like I was raised, as far as going to church, religion, cdc etc, etc.? Or do I want a heathen child?
Maybe I should start caring bout religion or at least pretend I do. For the kid. Today would be a great day to start. Gotta think of something to sacrafice. Beer is out of the question, baby steps man. Baby steps.
I'll start with trying to eat a little more healthy. Maybe no junk food or soda, candy etc.
We'll see how that goes. I'll just have to concentrate on not eating meat today and every Friday til Easter. I've done it before, it just seems to have more purpose now.

How can I sleep on the couch with a screaming baby? I hate kids.
congrats on the kid... i know it sounds like bs, but it will change you life... now that my kids are older they can go to the 'fridge and get me a beer when i'm empty
my kid will rule the world and feed me beer
i hate mini vans
souped up suv for me
dont worry meiz i gotz peoplez
i went to catholic school until 5th grade... i hated every minute of it... i'm raising by kids heathen style
my wife rocks the mini-van... i hate driving it... the only time i do is on long trips
My kid'll do what it wants.
so ep, do you know whether it's gonna be a tony or a marie?
dont know, dont wanna know
it's like a sin if i dont christen the child
i did the whole baptism thing for both my kids (mainly to make moms and pops happy)... after that i got out...
just 'member..
breast milk = bottled beer
same thing.
and keep the 22's on the g-ride, stay a pimp parent.
"after that i got out"
like it's a cult or something
hahahah funny shit
yeah ypp, i'll be gangsta
you know it
"like it's a cult or something"
It is. What's the difference?
so is meiz saying he doesn't believe in jesus?
good point meiz
religion is a belief
usually centering around a god
you don't have to belong to any specific church or group
worship in your own way
a cult is more like a gang or social group that mentally manipulates peoples brians
i agree with your first statement...
although, some might say that your second statement is the definition of organized religion
I find it extremely hard to believe that there is some almighty, all seeing, all contolling being that there is absolutely no evidence of? Please.
Fuckin' fairy tales.
true tp
it's a fine line
meiz is an aethiest
honestly meiz i go in and out of it
like i said it's faith
you dont need evidence for faith
it's something you believe
forget facts and bibles and shit
nothing wrong with not believing
jus sayin
I ain't got no quarrel with them christians.
I just can't make myself believe it.
i smell ya
Yo EP - congrats.
May your foist child be a masculine child.
thanks yo
Zeke used the good line before I could.
Congrats!
thxxxxxxxx
Congrats El P! Parenthood is the shizit my friend.
As far as religion is concerned, I believe you can raise your children with a respect for God and a good moral compass with out all the religious dogma. There's no point in faking, kids are smart man, they pick up on that shit.
I am so very excited for you guys! I have a laundry list of things I couldn't live with out as far as Anna is concerned.
Meiz You have clearly had a bad experience with organized religion and that's very unfortunate. Don't blame God because people are assholes. Not all religions are cults.
thanks dirty
preciate it
Oh snap, big congratz El P. Being a pop is pretty cool.
Insist on the breast feeding. It's supposedly good for the kids, it's free and there's nothing you really have to do except maybe get the wifey a pillow.
Downside though, her knockers will get HUGE HUGE and she won't let you touch them because they get too sore.
mvn, think ima pull a mccartney
"those are my breasts"!!!!
once she weens the kid you will have a couple of good weeks of comfort and speed.
and if I remember right breast feeding = no period so thats in your favor as well.
interesting
will advise
regards
"You have clearly had a bad experience with organized religion and that's very unfortunate. Don't blame God because people are assholes. Not all religions are cults."
Who said anything about the correlation of god and assholes?
I didn't have a bad experience. I just don't believe in that stuff.
I don't see how people can argue FOR creation, when it's clear that isn't how it happened.
I'm done with this.
I don't need to explain myself.
Wow...sensitive much Meiz?? Relax man.
Anywho...
About the boobs, yeah, that's a no fly zone during pregnancy. My poor husband was miserable, here I had these DD's and he couldn't touch 'em. Poor guy.
On the upside, while breastfeeding you don't have a period.
In your honor I have posted my top 10 favorite baby things I couldn't live with out.
Here's hopin' your wife isn't as sick as I was and she has a smooth delivery.
thanks again
boobs being untouchable, not sure if el pad likes this
i hear ya, meiz... i'm down with science
As El P said it's all based on faith Meiz. Maybe there's no scientific proof God created the universe but I'm not aware of any proof of the Big Bang or that this is all a chemistry class experiment mixed up by an alien kid and when he get his grade we all get flushed down the galactic toilet either.
Not that it matters but I personally believe in God. I think we are all created free to believe what we want. It's our choice and we're loved enough to be given that choice. If we didn't have free will and were all programmed to believe in one thing we would just be a bunch of slaves.
Sounds dumb but like in Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura couldn't make Rachael Green love him, she had to choose. I think that was pretty much dead on. God wants us to love him and believe in him but he's not going to make us.
That's my 2 cents anyway. Now back to breast feeding and it's effects on the fathers life.
well done MVN
"I believe in science" the Skeleton
The movie was far from great but hilarous when he dropped that in Nacho Libre
ELP - congrats, man! That is great news. Raise the baby the best possible way ... German!
now I'm overly sensitive?
odd.
Congratulations! And i vote for raising a heathen child.
Works for me ;)
ok los, will think about that
thanks step
I used to give up something for Lent every year...*sigh* I am not even religious...it was just something that was "fun" to do...Although~taps nose with index finger~
I did give up fast food one year and lost 20 pounds! Then the next year I gave up soda pop...makes you realize how many restraunts, bars and such do not have Iced Tea. THAT year I damn near KILLED someone!
Congrads on the baby BTW!!!!
My friend Lynn who was a divorcee used to give up Sex for lent every year. I tried to explain to her that the point was to give up something you have...if you ain't gettin' laid, it's not really a sacrafice is it? LOL
