giants game

May 13, 2008

          Saturday i did the unthinkable. I went to a baseball game on the “holy day.” I took a car ride down to SF to see my favorite baseball team the SF giants. They won 8-2. Tim Lincecum, my favorite pitcher was incredible. It was fun to watch him work on the field. Its funny how people make such a big deal about not doing anything that isn’t praying or reading the Bible on the sabbath, but these people are some of the words most judgmental people i have ever seen within the doors of the church. I have gone through a crisis as of late with my church as it is the place that i identify with. It has accepted me for the most part. However i cannot feel guilted that because i go to a baseball game on the Sabbath i will be shunned. or that i should be by the church. Maybe its good to break the rules once in a while though. I dont really understand how in a school setting such as this, they expect us to not do anything on saturdays. Saturdays have become my day to catch up on sleep, just plain relax, catch up on homework, or even take a little bit of leasuire time for myself.

Maybe its sad, but thats how i’ve figured out how to get by in college.

Shame on you PUC

You give us Martin Luther King Day off, to remember what he did for this nation and for people everywhere. What about Presidents Day? They day to remember the presidents who paved the way. Presidents Day is meant to remember Washington and Lincoln. If it wasn’t for men like this who paved the way of american freedom, both of our nation from Britan and (and freedom for blacks in America, so dont play that RACE card), would there have even been a MLK Jr. To Celebrate, i think not. Why do we not get a day off from school for this day, rather than MKL or even in addition to it. I know i know, we cant have too many days off because we are in the quarter system, but i think that our presidents, especially Washington and Lincoln are worth it.
