V-Day
Today is another commercially ruined holiday called Valentine's Day. It is customarily a day when you show someone that you love them. Traditionally, this has been done by the passing of romantic hand-written letters. Of course in the overly commercialized country we live in it is now more about spending ridiculous amounts of money on expensive gifts and less about the romantic sentiment.
What will I be doing this evening? Well... I will be attending an "Anti-Valentine's Day" play, Love Bites, with a female friend of mine who very recently broke up with her liar of a boyfriend; how appropriate to be taking her to this play. One of the main reasons for going is because my friend Brenda will be making her acting debut. If anyone is interested, here's the information:
Tuesday, February 14th at 7:30pm
The 4th Street Theatre
Located on 4th Street between Robert and Minnesota Street in Downtown St. Paul
Tickets are $10. For reservations and information call (651) 224-2603
Happy V-Day for all of you couples and Happy Singles Awareness Day for the rest of us.

Who Speaks for Jesus?
I came across this very insightful article. It gives a breif snapshot into why I have avoided "religion" most of my life; hypocrisy abound.
Here is my favorite part:
"... he's been kidnapped by politicians and preachers who decide what he does and doesn't think. They speak for him, and it doesn't always make sense.
They say Jesus is "pro life," but he doesn't seem to have a problem with the death penalty. And he thinks stem cell research - something that would save lives - is no different from murdering babies. They say he's the embodiment of kindness, love, decency and compassion. But he hates gays, lesbians and Muslims. And he's not too crazy about Buddhists, Hindus and the rest. Jews? He can put up with them if he has to.
The Rev. Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka claims to speak for Jesus and goes around the country talking about how "AIDS cures fags." Pat Robertson says it would be a good idea if the United States killed the president of Venezuela. It would be a lot cheaper than starting another war."
Hypocrisy Abound!
