What'd you do this evening?
2006-04-13, 6:59 PM #1
I just got home from church. Being Catholic, I had the Last Supper mass and whatnot, which I served at.

It was a very, very powerful mass. Started off with that "Gloria" song or whatever. An entire choir, two tuba's, a clarinet, a flute, and an organ sang this thing. It was f-in' powerful. I was just standing, listening to this, in a careless bliss, one hundred percent happy and careless. It was loud, and it was powerful. It MEANT somethign to me, and if I had been asked right then if I believed in God, the feeling I had right then was that someone was watching me, holding me, caring for me, that I wouldn't ever be harmed again. It was amazing.

The mass went well, washing of the feet and whatnot. Got to the end, the priest needed to take the Eucharist to the tabernacle built up on the side of the room. We slowly proceeded around the room, and went back through the pews to the tabernacle. Very solemnly, the priest put the Eucharist in the cabinet, and the choir started a latin song, minus the instruments.

The mass ended a bit afterwards. Me, and the other two servers went up to clear the altar bare, save for the actual table. Taking everything off, clearing it of everything there was, candles, table cloths, everything, it was somehow...depressing. I recognized why we did this, Jesus was supposed to be on his way to the garden now, and would be condemned in a few hours from now. But watching the table become empty, the lack of anything to look at...I almost cried. I can't explain this either, like I cannot explain the mirth I experienced prior to this, but it was powerful and depressing.

SO! What'd you do tonight?
I had a blog. It sucked.

As for me, I actually had a bit of a nap, and I've been studying for exams while sporadically watching some Futurama.

2006-04-13, 7:22 PM #7
dinner, papers, music theory review, papers, practice, fencing.

at fencing though I accidentally killed the captain of the sabre team (we were fencing epee) I hit her in her bad knee. really really hard. and the sad thing is that is didn't count, she had already gotten me, I just didn't hear the beep. I swear I didn't mean to pull a Tanya Harding though

Played in a soccer game. Won 2-0. Now about to write a 4- to 5-page paper (that is, a 4-page paper) comparing the growth of bureaucracies in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, the New Deal U.S. and social-democratic Sweden.

All Greek and Roman gods were bad***es, and the majority of the godesses were lustful little women who were around only to arouse and please the men. Greek and Roman mythology are awesome, that's his conclusion.

Unless he thought differently.

Let's see...I fiddled around with the laser engraver at work, trying to get the LCD display to actually display something, ended up having to order a whole new input/display thingamabob because it's all one piece. Since then I've eaten dinner (Tuna Helper, mmmm....) and played some MTA. A pretty unexicting night. So far, anyways. Never know when a band of roaming ninjas might attack...

Quote:
How do these three compare? Easily, Antigonê's devotion and loyalty parallels Oedipus' devotion and loyalty to his own people. Furthermore, Oedipus' rampant paranoia and disbelief in the truth could stem from pride as strong as Antigonê's pride in her actions to assist her brother. Both Antigonê, who sought to give her brother a proper burial, and Oedipus, who sought to relieve the plague upon Thebes and root out the killer of Laius, died for their attempts to do what was ultimately the right thing to do. Perhaps the only parallel between Heracles and Oedipus is the fact that they were both directly responsible for the deaths of family members.

Heracles, unfortunately, can not draw many parallels against either two. However, the differences are extreme. Neither Antigonê nor Oedipus were of divine descent; neither performed extraordinary labors to pay for their crimes; neither spoke directly to the gods, or were targets of any specific god's malice.

What, then, makes a hero? Simple: extremes; extremes that set one apart from the general crowd. Heracles – fantastically strong, fathered by Zeus, and hated by Zeus; Antigonê – prosecuted for her loyalty to her brother, extreme in her devotion to family and keeping the gods' laws; and Oedipus – misery in multiple forms with multiple faces. Each of these is a hero in their own way.


Like I said. Three hours. It's only a rough draft, so I get it back and make "edits" to the paper.

Had a meeting.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

I met a pretty neat girl while waiting for my guitar lesson, and impressed even myself with my chatting up abilities. God, I'm impressive. Why am I such a god damn stud? (:p)

I took a nap, ate dinner, then listened to Busted Stuff (DMB). Then I came down to my computer and turned on all of my dave matthews songs in WMP. Yay. Now I am here, wasting my life away on massassi!
Anyway, thats really cool that you had such a great evening zloc. I am christian myself and that feeling you had is a great feeling (presbyterian, a protestant denomination). About the whole catholic vs. protestant thing, I feel that it is really gay to argue. We believe in the same god. Why the heck fight or argue over it?

I drove around for an hour looking for opportunities to be productive but didn't find any :( So I went to the grocery and bought some tea.

Freaking rush-hour traffic is a pain to drive in.

Went out with my girlfriend, after she had work we went and ate dinner, and then after that she had to stop by her church and attend a meeting, which I bared with her. After that we went and parked, followed by cuddling and sleeping... ;)

Played in an Axis and Allies Miniatures tournament. You get a medal when you win! No prize carries greater bragging rights.

Kevin Smith knows the guy that made Donnie Darko. After seeing the movie, Kevin asked him what the ending meant. He answered, "I don't even know." One of many things I learned when I saw Kevin Smith earlier this week.

She fences sabre. She deserves it.

I haven't done anything yet because it's just getting on 5 right now. I'll probably mess around on the computer for a bit and then go night skating with my friend in celebration of our 4-day weekend.
