Lent: ‘Cuz You Need Those 40 Days To Get Through That Hangover

Lent is a time of spiritual renewal in which many give up things to make themselves a better person through sacrifice.  So for the next 40 days, I’m giving up:

  • On Heroes.  Actually, I gave up on it a long time ago.
  • Watery beer
  • Celibacy
  • Memes
  • Tagging people for memes
  • Conservative talk radio
  • Liberal talk radio
  • My plans for world domination – That and Heroes were cutting into my time to watch Battlestar Galactica.
  • Infomercials
  • The Cincinnati Bengals – Actually, I gave up on them a long time ago

So what if these are things I don’t indulge in.  If I still don’t do them for 40 days, aren’t I a better person?

Actually, I think I became a better person the day I stopped listening to politics on talk radio.
