So, many people may not know but I am catholic, and the time of year in the church is called lent. Lent is the time of year that leads up to easter, in which we give up something that we love very much in order to get closer to God. Lent starts on ash wednesday, which was this wednesday.
This time around for Lent, I gave up Arizona, and Soda. I really want an arizona now, and a pepsi.
Did anyone else give things up for lent?

Having been raised- makes me sound like a farm animal- in a suburb of Boston, Catholicism dominated the community where virtually everyone was of Irish or Italian ancestry. Crossed ashes smudged all our foreheads on Ash Wesnesday and we competed with what we would give up for the Lenten season. My most difficult was excluding ketchep from my life for the forty days. The tomatoe substance being ubiquitous to everything I ate, this was truly a sacrafice. But forgetting for the moment the dogma, the act trained us in self-discipline and allowed one to prioritize our lives.
