Quote of the day:
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" said to be Jesus' last words -
Matthew 27:46 (If I'm not mistaken this line was old before he is said to have
been born, I believe Job said it but can't find it.)

Thought of the day:
Really I have a few thoughts on today, pretty much all involve meat. In some
ways I'd like to visit a slaughter house today, I think at least I should be
man enough to face my meal and all it goes though. I think It'd be funny if
vegetarians ate meat today. You know to balance things out. Really I'm not 100%
on what the deal is with not eating meat today. "Why meat?" is the only thing I
don't quit get. I understand that people are to sacrifice in honor of Jesus'
suffering on the cross. Which really makes me think "why" again. Even if the
story is all true, Christ was not the first, the last, nor the only person to
die this way. Really it's a horrible death, but there are far worst ways to die
or to live for that matter. As a mortal there are few please we have, one is
meat. So why should we give it up in honor of the suffering of a being of
pretty incomprehensible power? I'd gladly be crucified for that. So let me just
end this by saying that just because some people can't eat meat today doesn't
mean they can't blow me.
