Ash Wednesday has to be one of the creepiest religious observance traditions ever. It's so weird to see otherwise normal people walking around marked with smeared ashes on their foreheads like cult zombies.
what's even creepier is holy week in spain, some towns have the processions wearing black robes and hoods. eek!
the creepiness and ritual is something that kinda appealed to me growing up though. had to find something fun out of the whole ordeal lol
Hmm...ironically Locke was shown in a black robe and hood in tonight's epi of LOST. Coincidence? I think not!

This is an observance in the Lutheran faith as well, so I will be giving up my Diet Coke (and all other pop) as well as candy for Lent this year. Last year it was all sources of caffeine, including chocolate. I guess I like reflecting on all the blessings I really do have when I have to consciously not get something I'm used to. I almost bought soda twice today and caught myself.
I'm afraid if I gave up caffeine I really would be on the road to hell in short order!
I think the hardest thing I ever gave up was caffeine. I went through serious withdrawal and people in my old office stayed away from the first week or so. I had the shakes and got really pale for a few days.
I used to average 3 cups of coffee and about a 6 pack of soda a day so I was really hooked on the caffeine ... lol.
I'm gonna give up watching Eddie on youtube. In fact I'll give up youtube completely. That will probably make it a little easier.
I hope I can make it.

The caffeine was really hard, but I am finding the soda harder to give up!! At least when I gave up caffeine, I had non-caffinated sodas :(

P.S. I absolutely hate the supposed "mad" smilies....but there's no smiley to convey that....just the "evils." : mad :

Nope, have a super bladder. In college one of my nicknames was the Camel because I'd drink all night and never break the seal.
