(no subject)
Today, i had a very ignorant and vulgar moment.
i was leaving my building, and i saw some girl with a black smudge on her forehead. Initially, i thought "ah.. i wonder if that girl knows that she has black shit on her face.." then immediately i realized it was ash wednesday. Ok, whatever.. then i was eating lunch and i saw a lot of people with it, ok whatever.. then i started thinking and laughing to myself. "did some guy make this up ages ago to get a good laugh? like 'hey, yea put this stuff on your forehead it means something.' then he saw how ridiculous they looked and cracked up.
oh, and my roommate, like many others i'm sure, never goes to church. in the six months i have been acquainted with her she has never gone. Yet today, she says, "I'm going to church to get my ashes." What? i suppose it is fitting because it represents the necessity to change one's way of living? which in her case it might be helpful to do so. (not saying the way she is living is WRONG. but it couldn't hurt to change it.)
am i horrible? feel free to tear me apart as i don't know anything about this phenomenon.
