Takingbackwhat'simportant

Hello everybody!

I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving.

It is nice to take a little break from Cabrini and go back home.

The weekend before I went home for the break, I took part in the Search retreat, which was sponsored by campus ministry.

I can honestly say it was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

You see, I have been known to have smoked a green leafy substance known as marijuana.

At one point, I was pretty bad with it.

The retreat I went on made me realize that there are more things to life than smoking pot all the time.

I believe that marijuana can open up parts of the mind that would not be opened otherwise and I also believe that it is good in moderation.

The average pothead is no better that an alcoholic.

The only difference is that one is illegal.

I got out of smoking pot when I wanted to and it opened the door. This retreat was so powerful

It is another challenge to me to show everyone that I can do it.

Now to another subject.

I need something to replace the absence of pot in my lungs, so now I smoke many more cigarettes than I usually did.

I suggest that Cabrini College invest in a cigarette machine, or even sell lighters in the bookstore.

that it made me stop and I met many people that I now consider good friends in the process.

The next Search retreat will take place in the spring and I recommend for everyone to go.

When I was on Thanksgiving break, I told my friends that I quit smoking pot.

They all looked at me like I had two giant horns growing out of my head.

I'm going to go one step farther with this idea and suggest that an ashtray be built into every desk. This way when us smokers are really stressing out during a test, we can light up a cigarette and stop the breathing of everyone around us. so maybe they will do as bad on the test as we do

Then we can feel comfort knowing that everyone got pretty much the same grade

The classrooms would smell as bad as the hallways do, but it's a small price to pay.

I'll have that proposal on the President's desk in the morning.

don't bother me. I would never say that I'm the type of person that would go out and beat the crap out of a person like they did to Matthew Shepard in Wyoming. I think the people that killed him should pay for their crimes in the worst way.

I think people that beat up gays should pay for what they do. At the same time, I feel they should do their thing, and let us do our thing. I really wish that gays would understand that the only reason that they are different is because they want to be. People say that some of the gays are only gay because of a chemical imbalance. That might be true, but I think it has to do with preference of mind. It seems to me that homosexuals want to be hated, that they want to have people that hate them and they want to have problems with people. This is why they wanted to be in the Saint Patrick's Day parade, to cause a problem.
