Dumb Things People Think Of

Every idea has to originate from someware right? Well look at this, it’s the TrekDesk and is designed to give you a work out as you work. They said that they created this trying to fight back the obesity problem. Well look at this video and see what happened to Dwight when he took a similar thing to his work. It was just too funny to pass up. Here’s the clip I couldn’t get it on the site for some reasion.

 

 

Atheist Getting Desperate!!! HAHA!

This video is pretty self explainatory…. just one thing. Richard Dawkins, after the interview wrote on his blog that he was only humoring Stein because he was too stupid to understand other wise… HA yea right…. he was stuck! enjoy the video!

On Gandhi

Although a post about Gandhi may seem random, I had just finished reading about him in my philosophy class and many of my classmates and my instructor view this man as a saint and I can’t seem to figure out why. This man was a horrible father to his kids, a bad husband, and a pedofile of sorts. This seems to be quite a harsh accusation and I myself was shocked to hear some of this stuff. I never really like the to begin with, he seemed to be pretty wishy washy to me.

Stories of my Little Adventure in NY: Part 2

The second day we woke up, went to mass and herd an amazing homily, a friar homily as I call them. We then ate breakfast and met this guy in his early thirties who is discerning a vocation. We invited him to breakfast and he ended up following us for that entire day, it was no doubt Providence that the friars and this guy crossed paths. Our first stop was St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We said an express novena to Our Lady to help us find parking, it’s so expensive in the city. That guy (I can’t remember his name) went half way with Father so that we could park in a garage. We then get to the Cathedral and mass is going on. It was very strange. Mass, the greatest thing that could ever be done was happening at that very moment and people were still walking around and looking at the art and the side chapels and such as if nothing was happening. We then did adoration in the chapel in the back of the alter and waited outside until mass was over. We also got to see the crypt, that was because of the friars habits, they work similar to tickets in some instances. 

Stories from my Little Adventure in NY.

On friday I arrived at the Friary in Maine New York, what a beautiful place it’s set up in the moutains overlooking rolling hills and a beautiful forest on a mountain side. The friary also has a lot of ponds and one of them has a family of gease that get really angry when you get close to there nest, it’s pretty funny. Anyways I got there at around 10:30 so I just went to bed. But I got up the next morning went to prayer and ate breakfast went to a Day with Mary and then we left. But before we left Fr. Johannes said 3 times “make sure you have your Id’s so you can get into the stadium”. Keep this in mind.

We headed to a Carmilite monistary in the Bronks (I think it was the Bronks) where we got fed very, very well. And the food was amazing, if I ever have the choice of going to a five star restarunt to eat or a Carmilite monistary I’d choose the Carmlite monistary. But as we were eating another kid (the only other one besides me that wasn’t a brother or priest) got a call from his mom saying that he found his ID… 3 hours away from where we were. Everyone started to laugh. His ID was fake, and the brothers made it hopeing that they woundn’t really look at it. And to top it off his mom faxed it to the monostary for him. So he had a real fax of a fake ID! “No, no I’m not a terrorist I swear, my fax of my fake ID says so.” He did end up getting in though. 

After mass the next morning we had breakfast and set off to Yankee Stadium. Well to make a very long story we were on the last subway train untill our stop. We were on it for what seemed to be a very long time. Then this guy walked on. He was a very big and tall black guy wearing a Roman Collar (the collar that priests wear) but he wasn’t a Catholic priest, he was a Born Again minister. It seemed immediatly after the door shut he started to persicute us and the Pope. Saying that he doesn’t worship one man but worships God alone and that the Pope is going to hell. Well I’m sorry buddy, so your homework Catholics only worship God too. Anyways he then started preaching or yelling rather in a cherry/angry voice. Me, the brothers and priests, and everyone elts in the car was silent with our backs tward him, for the most part. And I felt bad for this one priest who was right underneith this guy the entire time, it was pretty funny though. Anyways, this guy whent on and he was the only non Catholic in the car. There was a bunch of spanish people who started to chant “Benideto, *clap clap* Benideto, *clap clap*” ect. Well this went on for a short time before this guy knew what to do. Then the genious decided to add in “The Pope goin’ ta hell” in the clapping parts. This went on some time and then stopped. The guy continued preaching his false doctrine to a bunch of people that were getting very descusted with this guy. The friars, me and everyelts who knew it started to sing the Salve Regina (my favoriet song ever). The guy was thrown back, he didn’t know what to say. Then he started with this very repetive song, it had like 7 words over and over and over again. We were finished then the spanish people started again they finished then we sung one that I knew the words too but I don’t know what it was called, it kinda sounded like the Regina Cheli but it wasn’t. Anyways the guy eventually got off and all was ‘good’ again untill of corse we go outside and meet all the protesters.

The next part of my adventure isn’t as long. I’m not going to tell you about the mass because most of you probably saw it on TV if not then all I can tell you is that is was beautiful. One of the only things that was really wrong in the staduim was the fact that people were eating right before mass! Brother Luke whom I was sitting next to said to this couple behind us “Umm… excuse me. I don’t really know if I sould be saying anything or not but your about to be a Holy Mass, and your eating? Thats terrible!” the guy basically srugged him off and said “Oh well”. But the rest of that day you had to be there for. It was just awesome all the way through. We returned to the convent and I again got very little sleep.

To keep this post from being too long I’ll stop here at day one. I’ll post day two very soon.

Viva el Papam!

Just to let everyone know I’m back and in one piece. I thank you for all of your prayers andI do have some incredible story’s to write the entire two days that I was in New York was amazing…. I was like prayer after prayer being answered, and as a side note I found out that “express novenas” to Our Lady do work. I never heard of an express novena before but they are credible . But none the less I’ll post my stories and will tell about the rest of my vocation visit, just in caseanyone is discerning. †  

Going on Vacation!!!

I am leaving Tomarrow, (18th) as some of you might know, for my vocations visit at Mt. St. Francis in Maine, New York and to see the Pope. I don’t know which audience I’ll be going to but hopefully I don’t have to go to the one in Yankee Satdium, that’s too many people! I might go to Ground Zero or St. Patricks Cathedral, I think only priests and religous are invited to those, (but I could be wrong… I have no clue) which means less people and chaos, and since I’ll be going with a bunch of friars that is a possiblity. Most of you though probably know more about what’s going on than I do with where the Pope is going to be and such. But alas, this is not the main reasion for my visit, although going to see the Pope is a big privilege and I’m very excited. The main reasion of my visit, this week, is to decern into religous life. Hopefully all goes well so keep me in your prayers. Oh! and I’ll be comming back the 25th just in time for the LOTR marathon!

† Untill then, Ave Maria! †

Just Because

Ever since this stupid song was mentioned today I had it stuck in my head… so here it is!

An instant classic!

   

Spelling Doesn’t Matter

I found this and since we all know that I can’t spell I thought it would be appropriate.
