lol
part of the fasting of lent is not boasting about it.
Anyone you hear blabbing about what they are giving up is a hypocrite.

lent would be a good name for a band,
but I'm not giving up anything up for this ridiculous religious whatchamacallit

i dont think anyone has boasted so far, so let's give them a chance to do so first.
then we will reprimand them and make them feel awful

well, I didn't mean boasting
The point is not to make yourself out to be a martyr. So if you say to people, hey, I'm giving up sugar or something, you are asking for something, at least sympothy for your "pain"
Boasting, imo = even telling anyone what you give up, otherwise, you've defeated the entire point of obstaining from something.

if anyone feels like sharing then they ought to share. if they contain it all inside i think they stand a chance at "breaking" easier, you know what i mean?

but it isn't about if you "break" or not, it's the reasons behind why you try.
If you are giving up meat, then the only person that would need to know is your mum if she cooks meals for you.
When you go out to dinner, announce you aren't eating meat becuase of lent, you have completely ruined the concept of fasting.

it is. i was only speaking of your record buying+listening habit. music is good for you, man!
hmm
i guess giving buying loads of new ones will allow you some time w/ the sounds you already own, which is a good thing. good luck to you sir!
