Or whatever they’re called. Since New York is such a Catholic city, I’ve decided to participate in this whole Lent thing for the first year ever. I mean… why should the Catholics have all the fun?
Since I’ve never done this before, my first vow was to give up my Catholicism for forty days. I figured that would be something easy to start out my first Lent—I probably wouldn’t have to repent or anything like that.
I don’t exactly know the rules, but I don’t think you can take back a vow. Which sucks, because an article on the New Scientist blog inspired me to pick an every more relevant vice to give up, namely stupid Internet videos. I’ve actually been doing pretty well—I had my first temptation from Satan today in the form of a video of a guy getting kicked in the face. But I persevered and didn’t watch the video and get +1 Holy or whatever.
So to clarify, a stupid Internet video includes anything on YouTube (including, sadly, my new favorite show, Infinite Solutions). Stupid Internet videos do not include Ze Frank. Stupid Internet videos do include anything on CNN.
Give me strength O Lord baby Jesus…
