Good Grief

I'm getting grief for not posting often enough on my blog. I'm getting grief for not drinking alcohol for Lent. The thing about Lent is that you are supposed to give up something meaningful. Something that will be difficult for you but you must overcome. Technically you are supposed to be reminded of the pain and suffering that Jesus went through for us. That idea has been somewhat lost with our pop modern culture. So I gave up alcohol. I am around it constantly. I enjoy it. Friends peer pressure you into drinking it. I felt that it would be a great thing to give up and I still feel it is. So what if I am not drinking on Saint Patrick's Day. If I am there hanging out with you and having a good time is that not good enough for you? Maybe you would rather I not even hang out. That can be arranged. I have no problem with staying out of your drunken path. Be thankful for what you have or else realize what you have in the first place.

"Ooh, it's been St. Patrick's Day for hours, and I'm still not drunk yet."

Mr. Shoo says that I am his inspiration. That sounds like a load of bull to me. You read my ramblings and it inspires you to write something in your own blog? Highly doubt it. Response postings don't count as inspirations. How about I inspire you to not drink also? Can't do it can you?
