The Vent Thread

[Castor Troy]

One time my family pissed me off on Good Friday (the day of Jesus's death and in the Catholic religion and several others, you're not allowed to eat meat on that day), so I went out and ate a burger.

I was raised as a catholic and went to an all christian school up until high school, so I know how bad religious clashes can be. I was literally driven to tears once when I was told I was praying the wrong way.

I had several friends who were raised in really uptight religious families only to have mohawks and drug addictions by the time they turned 18. Go figure.

Actually, the majority of kids I went to church with that had family that were super uptight religious did that exactly.

Like, some craaaazy shit with the preacher's daughter >>

have you ever considered whether or not your faith is truly your own?

Yes, and I already concluded I am an agnostic. I'm only staying in this hellhole until I get my own car and apartment. I'm currently saving up a shitload of cash so that the transition can be smooth. I really love my family, but I just can't stand this religion. I want to leave on good terms.

Hey, at least you can play an instrument! That's great!

At least you have an iphone, that's great!

Not trying to hate on you man, just trying to give you some perspective :p

LOL, thanks dude.

Just want to see ya happy

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate the love. ^_^

Preacher's kids....

yeah, they're always the crazy ones.

A friend of mine in high school did something quite similar. It was ash Wednesday and he joined me in line to get chicken rings (every wed, I still miss those things, White Castle is close but not quite the same) and unlike the rest of the Catholics who grabbed fish he said 'fuck it' and grabbed the chicken rings. It was quite a sight to behold. I later found out he converted to Wicca.

Religion, like most things in life, can both help and harm a person. It all depends on the environment.


TEKnician: you've basically gone the same route I did. It can be a little hard to walk that line though. I try to stay out of both religious and political debates with my family since I'm agnostic and libertarian. It makes for some fun conversations I'll tell you what. Hope the transition goes well for you.

Until we start training for our new campaign in work we actually sit around and do nothing all day. Now, I know a lot of you probably think it's not something to complain about, but when you go to work for over 5 weeks and all you do is sit and do nothing, it gets boring. Extremely boring.

NEWHO.

Almost everyone has started in different campaigns, some of us are just waiting for our one to start and there was only FIVE of us in today. They expected us to just sit there in a bay and do nothing. So, I brought a book (The Outsider by Albert Camus, seriously if you like reading, go read that book, LOVE IT. ) I had my book read by 1pm. I started at 10 and we're meant to stay until 6:30. What bugged me was, while I was at the canteen eating lunch with friends who got a break from their training, everyone else just left. So I go ask the manager that is meant to be watching us if I could leave because everyone else had and it wasn't fair if I was on my own. His reply?

Go up and sit in that bay and draw me a pretty picture.

... .___.

Needless to say I left, but seriously, draw him a picture? I'm meant to phone customers about stuff not draw for him.

So yeah, while walking home from work I phoned a friend and we went on a dander. (If you dunno what a dander is, it's like a walk but you walk really slowly with no planned direction.)

We ended up in a park playing on the tire swing and the see-saw.

I'm suppressing my sadness at the moment for something that shouldn't even be a big deal. . .

[Jadecavy]

Argh, this is the stupidest problem ever, but I can't go to bed any more because I don't trust myself to get up in time for class. This is the third time this week that I've stayed up all night, all because I lose track of time and can't go to bed after 11. If I go to bed after 11, I always end up sleeping all day the next day. Like, even if I set my alarm for 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, I turn it off each time in my half-asleep state and go back to sleep. If I don't get up before 7, I don't get up at all. Coffee helps me stay awake during the day, but if I stay up all night more than twice in 3 days or so my heart gets all fluttery, and I'm sure caffeine doesn't help... I dunno, this is so unstructured because I haven't slept and a strange vent that I could probably easily solve if I could just be more responsible, I'm just really, really shitty at getting up in the mornings.

ACS final. ACS final. F'ING ACS FINAL.

I know you've done a lot of good things, American Chemical Society, but seriously? SERIOUSLY? Your tests at 7:45 in the morning almost made me want to claw my eyes out. Almost. And now I have another final in microbiology at four o'clock today. Which I haven't had time to study for. BECAUSE I WAS STUDYING FOR THE ASC TEST. sklzfjsiodnfseioduhjnsd

I can't sleep...
Again.

A couple nights ago while hanging out with some friends in town I was told about this dog named Rosco that is looking for a good home. I said I'd make a "free to a good home" poster and I just needed to know some details about the dog. As my friend Courtney told me about the life this dog has had, I sat there and cried like a little bitch.

This poor dog was bought by a man who, at first, adored him. His kids were all over him and he was spoiled and got to stay inside. Then out of nowhere the man (who apparently has MAJOR mental/emotional problems) bought another dog and basic said "fuck you" to Rosco. Rosco was thrown outside, rarely ever got attention, was once left in his kennel with no food or water for 3 days, abandoned multiple times while they took the other dogs on trips and forced to fight against this dude's other dogs so that when he lost, the guy could say what a worthless dog he was just to try and justify not paying any attention to him.

The guy's grandmother eventually found out about it. It took a while since she doesn't live near them and didn't visit often. She took the dog who was inches away from death and has been feeding him and taking care of him for almost a year now. He's healthy, but she can't afford to take care of him. He's a boxer so he's a big guy and when she tries to walk him he almost drags her since he's so strong now.

The things this poor dog had to go through though. Starvation, loneliness and the shock of being loved one moment and cast away the next. It makes me want to vomit and cry at the same time. And I know they're going to have a hard time finding him a home. He's a total sweetheart and ADORES kids but he's like 7 years old, hasn't had recent shots and isn't fixed. That in combination with being a big dog is all working against him.

I really hope Rosco finds a good home. But in the meantime, I start to shake with rage when I think about what he went through. ;_______________;

Animal abuse makes me sick.
