My dad and I have been fishing a lot together, but I'm the only one catching fish. I really wish my dad would get some, I don't know why I just feel bad! He taught me how to clean fish and filet them though, which was pretty cool. I don't think he will ever run out of things to teach me, now matter how old I get.
Last night my parents and I discussed politics/ethics in the Catholic Church, I've realized how mature I've become and how I can hold an agruement with them on issues. My mother was mostly talking about her complaints and dissatisfaction with Pope Benedict, I didn't exactly defend him, but I tried to argue points to his decisions concerning Latin-masses and traditional ethics.
Personally, I would rather go to a Latin-mass, where the priest faces the altar like the congregation. Usually, the priest faces the people, mass is in the local tongue, and music is sang by everyone and played on instruments from guitars to drums to flutes. Nothing wrong with that in my mind, I think whatever makes people feel that they get the most out of the worship is the right thing. But I don't see why people like me can't have the traditional form, and all the Pope is doing is recalling that, he's not doing away with the contemporary style. The controversy that come with his decision I don't think go to the Papacy's blame, it's just people stirring up drama.

That sounds fun. (in response to your reply). That sucks that you're kinda lonely up there. My sister just had a college exposure tournament in Colorado and NorthWestern is offering her a full ride. But anyway...Jessika is good. I'm kinda caught up in trying not to be poor as hell and being good at school but I guess I'll have to wait and see how that turns out. Actually, everything is sort of crazy and up in the air these days. But I'm kinda ok with it.
Are you going to be around for a visit anytime soon?
