my adventure of the holy variety:
today i went to church (wow, two sundays in a row baby! is this the road to heaven?). well, anyways, the best place to go people-watching is church. this is where you see all the heathens, the self-righteously religious, the people who only go for salvation. okay, well maybe today wasn't the best day to go because Father Lim was conducting the mass. uhm...but let's face it--God bless him! don't get me wrong; i totally respect this guy for basing his whole life on faith and that--he's boring. usually, the liturgy is so succint that you can look around and see who's not paying attention. with Father Lim, no one really pays attention in the first place. i have no idea what he said; something about R.S.V.P and God. so kill me! i'm sorry if i can't help falling asleep during his sermon! anyways, where were we? oh yes, the heathens, infidels, and self-righteous. my sister and i were playing thumb war for a brief moment; the guy next to me (who pissed me off because he was basically laying on the friggin bench and wouldn't even scoot his ass over. idiot.) was crossing and uncrossing his leg (i can totally imagine what he was thinking: "Hmm...should i cross left over right? yes---no! Right over left! Nah, left over right and I'll stick my hands in between them."); my dad was reading the weekly newsletter; some kid was looking at the people in the pew behind him; you could literally see other people's heads rolling around because they were about to sleep. ah, how refreshing it is to step into church once a week and feel like you're doing something good in this world! Catholicism is the best! really, it should even have a commercial: "There is no winning in being a Catholic. You'll always be the loser. But hey, one holy day a week? And only for an hour! By God, (yes, i know i am using His name in vain. sorry sorry sorry a million times) this is the life!" like in Dogma. that movie rocks.
