• No sick, No cry

  Alright, so for all of you that were worried, I'm not dead [yet].   I'm finally better after blowing a bunch of caramel colored shit out of my sinuses.   It was awesome.

  I also found out that the throwing up had a lot to do with the fact that I don't chew enough before I swallow.

  Who knew?

  Thanksgiving Shit

  The nice thing about being sick is that I lost about 5 lbs -- which I'm planning to gain back this weekend on Brent's mom's lumpia.

  Yes, you heard it, I'm spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family?  Why? Because my own family hates me.  It's OK, though, I'll get over it one of these years.

  At least Brent's family seems to really like me.

  Spiritual Shit

  After reading Life of Pi I've been plagued with a lot of spiritual questions.  Long talks with Brent and with a coworker of mine have lead me to realize a few things.

  1. Many seemingly different religions have striking similarities that go further than moral standards.

  2. I can't bring myself to believe or disbelieve anything because many stories remind me of the game 'telephone'.  Things get changed and warped little by little as time goes by.  Maybe they all stem one story from the past.  Maybe they were all made up.  Maybe one of them is totally true and everything else is lies.

  Who am I to say what's the truth or not?  Young Pi believed in all of them simultaneously.  

  I neither believe nor disbelieve, but I have to say, there are some religions that I do respect more than others.   Not necessarily because of  the beliefs of the religion itself, but more in the way that the members of that religion choose to practice their beliefs.

  Obligatory Photo
  And since this entry's been somewhat dry... here's a picture for all you non-readers out there. =]
  Brent seemed missing from this group picture so I pasted him in with the magic of photoshop.
  

  
  

  

  You can barely tell he wasn't there!
