so this was the first weekend, in awhile that i've had off...which i technically didnt get off (by schedule), but rather booked off. it's been purely R & R for me. nothing but hanging out with the crew here and there. although today, as usual, is designated family day on top of being the sabbath. every time i hear sunday referred to as "the sabbath" i have this sick urge to rephrase it and say "thy sabbath". where that stems from, who knows..and who cares? anyhow i went to church this morning -- although i at times proclaim myself as a church-going man, the catholic church wouldnt be proud of me for my lack of attendance for the past few weeks. work shouldn't be an excuse..but it is. however, that still doesnt excuse me from reaching a weekly mass during the weekdays. where are my priorites??! or as dr. phil would say "what are you thinking, you sacrilegious brown bastard?!!"


"how about you, young lady?...can you tell me
what the fuck is jason thinking???!!!!!"

okay, he didnt say that, but if i were him, id say that to me. church was very refreshing today. although im not currently in an academic session of school as it's a summer break, i still try and take the time to self-direct myself in learning something -- whether it be some thai boxing, stability ball training techniques or just polishing up on some cooking recipes. when it comes to church though, i gotta say it's nice to have a formal lesson (if you can call it that). yea, that's about right. that's how i treat church. other than praise and worship there are some pretty good lessons the priest talks about during his sermon. i dont wanna start preaching myself, but yall need to check out my parish sometime if youre in the area.

besides all of that, the night ended really good as my family and i headed west over to hamilton for this fancy surprise birthday party for my aunt in this italian banquet hall. pictures will be posted soon as they,and a whole bunch of other pictures i've never printed will also. that's all for now, there were a few things i wanted to say about family and church, but i guess that all dissipated during the ride home.

man, you gotta love those warm summer breezes coming thru the car windows.
