well...i can't say too much has been in the new recently. mostly, i've been just busy with too many things. overloading in classes isn't too bad. nothing else that i'm involved in is causing any serious problems yet...but they could easily do so.
i've a bit of running around to do in terms of talking to others about stuff...but in reality i don't have to do the majority of that either. i just have to do a few small things that shouldn't take but a few minutes, but are really important or could make things much easier for me later on.
this upcoming vacation i'm pretty sure that i'm going to make a venture to VA to see my brother matt, and then on my return stop by Cinci OH to see my other brother luke. i can't wait...it all sounds like it's going to be fun, even though that's about as concrete as my plans are right now.
break aside, it's technically easter now. and i really don't feel too much about it. i have been without a religion for 10 years, and i am pretty sure i've been a knowing atheist for over 7 years. i find it odd though how little my unbelief in anything affects me in my life. i may not follow the US norm in my sunday morning activities, but i do know this: the majority of churches are preparing for one of the largest services of the year tomorrow. why? because people are going to show up. people who only show up once or twice a year. i can't even comprehend the reasoning on this...to go to church only once or twice a year - in going to church you say you believe in god and feel the institution is worthy of it. but then you fail to show up 90% of the time. are you just that lazy? or do you just value your beliefs that little? or are you just trying to keep face with the jones's? i'm pretty sure a good lot of the reasonings that these people follow are these thoughts. but...where are we going as americans?
i am calling a query into the wind. what is it that we want as a whole in this country? do we believe in anything as a whole anymore? or are we just stagnant - too caught up in the controversies that revolve around one or two lives to realize that we are wasting hundreds of millions in its stead?
well..that's all i have. in a week, i will be in VA. i can't wait.
