Clerks & Kool-Aid

So this morning I made a list of all the things I wanted to do and wanted to avoid. With a few minor slip ups I managed to get everything done. However I didn't avoid what I wished to avoid. Nonetheless I found it funny how things compound. When I'd finished all the work I'd assigned to myself, I just became scrupulous over minor details. Then I felt I had to keep going and going, making myself feel guilty for enjoying myself after all that work.



Clerks. I watched the first movie and the sequel today (I'd seen the second one before). I'm amazed at how relevant these movies are to people my age, and shocked I hadn't watched the first one before or appreciated them more. It's funny because at one point Dante keeps saying he can't change himself. And yet everything kinda works out for him in the end. I liked that optimistic ending. It was kind of like real life though. He never really progressed, just took minor steps to better himself and eventually made it, and was content.

Kevin Smith. Smart guy apparently. Jersey Catholic as well I believe.

I also got some writing done tonight for the novel, it was very cathartic, I think the Lord thinks regular writing will help me. I always forget how relaxing it is to write.

I also prayed a rosary for my friend who I normally pray for during Lent. I hope I'm not the only Lutheran who prays to the Blessed Virgin / prays the Rosary.

Aeeernyway, I have a hankering for juice. I can't believe how awesome it is. I have orange kool aid... maybe I'll make that instead.




Now is my favourite part of the day. I get a drink of some kind, Lay down in bed, and slowly drift off to sleep praying for forgiveness and watching the simpsons or some other show and relaxing.
