Announcement/Anuncio

There will be a lack of updates during Lent as I am giving up the Internet for purposes other than homework. I can find better things to do with my time. This blog will resume after Easter.

He decidido no usar el internet ya que la cuaresma va a empezar. Dado a esto, no voy a escribir en este blog hasta el Domingo de Pascuas. Dios los bendiga!

Lone Wolf...

I've dug my own grave again. I can almost feel myself spiralling down like last year, although last year it happened one term earlier... I've been irresponsible with my schoolwork and things like that. So, of course, the anxiety shoots up.

Heh. Nobody wants to hear about yet another depressed 20-something. But I've gotta release somewhere.

Maybe I will drop by the cathedral tomorrow and have a good cry.

A fairly useless post...

Again I'm wishing for that Ask-a-Priest Hotline... *sigh*

And on a slightly different point (I didn't want to say "note", but, oh well, "point" didn't work very well, after all), here're some song lyrics:

From the summer to the spring, from the mountain to the air,
From Samaritan to sin, and it's waiting on the end...
"Into the Fire", Thirteen Senses

Sigh.

This is gonna come back to bite me in the butt, isn't it?

I have a theory. Yeah, that's right, I said (well, not on here, but I said it) that I wouldn't involve myself in the theorizing, but, well, what can I do? It happened along the way, I couldn't stop it. So. Naruto.

My sis, who loves reading about the theorizing that goes on in the Naruto forums and the like, has informed me of the existing theories. And apparently this particular one of mine has not surfaced yet, so I don't know if I really should be making it public... but I'll do it anyway. That way I can say, hah! I was right! (Or, if I'm wrong, feel really really embarassed and hide away for a while...)

OK, so people theorize about Naruto's lineage. Some say he is the Yondaime's son, or his brother, or some kind of relative. Well...

I say he is the Fourth.

There! I said it. (dun dun dun...)

The Dark Night? Or would that be too presumptuous of me?

Sometimes other people express things much better than we ever could...

The winter here’s cold, and bitter
It’s chilled us to the bone
We haven’t seen the sun for weeks
Too long, too far from home

I feel just like I’m sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I’m pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low

And, oh, darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace, full of grace
My [L]ove... -"Full of Grace", Sarah McLachlan

Wishes wishes...

Sometimes, I wish there could be an Ask-a-Priest Hotline... It'd make life sooo much easier and I wouldn't have to worry so much.

I'm so tired of not being able to trust my conscience, because I know that I will try to find an excuse or rationalization for doing something that I shouldn't do. I wish I could stop offending God, I wish I could have a clear mind... A spiritual director would be soooooo nice to have, but, heh, I probably wouldn't even be able to communicate well, anyway.

But wouldn't an Ask-a-Priest Hotline be awesome?

This is how it is done...

For the extremists, take note. Take a look at this, which is DISGUSTING and the lack of publicity goes to show just whose side the MSM are on... Much like that horrible cartoon of Papa Benny that barely anybody found out about last year. The double standard continues.

Read what the Polish Catholics did. That is how one protests. With civility and temperance. o.O

Holy Mary, Queen of Peace, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us here below...

Well said!

I came across this post on CAF by the poster LatinCat (I hope you don't mind...):

"Give me a break. The Catholic Church teaches that a Catholic must be against abortion. To be pro-choice is contrary to the teachings of the Church. It is heresy. It is also a position that suggests that one in is in a schismatic state because to be pro-choice is to refuse to submitt to the Roman Pontiff in this matter. Pope Pius XII wrote the encyclical "Mystici Corporis Christi" which states that to be in heresy or schism is to be severed from the Church. Thus a person who is pro-choice is no Catholic at all. This has nothing to do with flaming. This is not an emotional matter. It is a rational conclusion."

A spade is a spade.
