Mood: blurry eshausted..
Music: ears still ringing from Gadjits show
I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open, but I knew my public (or at least my friends) would want to hear about my day. To make things go faster, let's just go through the day.
0600 Gah! Had to wake up earlier on a Saturday. Pure evil. Took a shower and left to pick up Matt
0730 Arrive at Scholar's Bowl coach's house, and gain Sean (who looks increasingly like Harry) as another passenger. In El Trucko, there is not much room, esp. for three people, so the rides there and back can only be described as utterly random. Ewan McGregor, Wiffle Balls, Charmin, and music were all discussed, among other things.
0900 After wandering about like prats, we (the B-team, me, Sean, Ryan, Victoria, and Justin) finally found the right place.
1000 We had two byes, and then started playing. In Round Robin, we tied two games (1 won, 1 loss) and lost another by a narrow margin, and then the really good team in our division murdered us. We advanced to the tournament, but Ryan and Victoria had simply abandoned us, so Sean and I started acting pretty silly, which was fun.
1645 I finally got home, where I really wanted some sleep, but had to clean.
1700 Cleaning the house
1900 Sit down at comfy computer chair, and mess around including writing a very long blog that was eaten by blogspot. (note: I keep telling myself one advantage to blogging over having a LiveJournal was that LiveJournal's seem to be down often, but if my blog is a piece of crap, I have nothing)
2100 Katie, Marissa, Nicole, and Kristin come over, and we all go to Van Gogh's to see the Gadjits play together. I've had Snitch! on my mind today, so the whole time I was there, amidst the smoky haze and beer-swilling punks, I kept thinking "Draco would hate this place." That's kind of sad, but it kept me amused during the crap warm up band. The Gadjits were actually really good, and I had a blast dancing. However, let me note here that I find most moshers very inconsiderate of the people who are trying to remain intact. After the show Katie and I went to talk to the band, which was fun, except they were sweat-soaked and smelt terrible. They were really nice. Also at the show was my friend Jonathon. I chatted with him for a minute, and he told me some stuff that leads to my next rant.
Make up your mind!
I understand people may be raised in religions they disagree with, and I understand converting away from a church you disagree with, but I don't really understand how anyone can go from being hardcore one way to hard core something else.
Jonathon has always been a "I went to youth group to pick up chicks" kind of guy, but he also was a very devout Catholic. If you truly believe your doctrine, how can you become a pagan within the span of a few months? I just don't understand it.
Then there are Meghan and Anthony. I've always loved them because they had such strong ideals about faith. Anthony especially has always been a rock. They both became Atheists this year. Once again, I understand how circumstances can separate you from God, and I understand not everybody believes in God, but I don't see how with no provocation someone can convert from Catholicism to Atheism. What, one minute you believe in God and are praising Him and stuff, and the next minute you decide He doesn't exist? The same goes for converting to Judiasm from Christianity. How can you go through life believing "Jesus is my Savior!!!" and then decide he wasn't REALLY God, just some guy who did some cool things?
I think that's a bunch of crap. This isn't about any religion being "right", I just am at a loss as to how anyone can change their beliefs so drastically with such little cause. I pray my faith is strong enough to withstand the pressure of the world around me.
2400 Got home exhausted and stayed up to write blog. Am v. tired. Am about to collapse...
