Not a narrative post, but a few things worth reading

Illumination regarding the Catholic concept of the trinity:

"It's sacreligeous, but I always thought of it as Holy voltron."

May Shalom rest peacefully in hell after the apocalypse he incites.

Well, I'm still pretty bored, but I have set before myself the goal of reading a lot of the bible and further educating myself in regards to religion as a whole, but Judeo-Christianity specifically. I feel that I am grounded well enough in my spiritual beliefs, but I could probably stand to learn a lot more specifics in terms of names, dates and locations. Also, the bible is kind of funny.

Since I probably won't be getting a job this summer, I've also considered gaining some sort of practical skills in order to help me gain employment after graduation. However, because I am wasteful and frivolous, I've decided to learn more Japanese instead. Most people, upon finding out that I've been to Japan before, think that I miraculously gained the ability to speak Japanese. I used to think so too, at least to a very small extent. The more I take these computer lessons the more I realize how wrong we were.

On another note, upon finding out that one of my favorite bands, Camera Obscura, are on a Spanish label, I started investigating the other label's artists and was delighted to find Spanish-speaking, upbeat equivalents to my almost-favorite band. Enjoy a single by "La Casa Azul," a fake band who effectively mix the sunniness of 60's pop with the flamboyance and production of the seventies! Also, the white people singing in Spanish reminds me of Mexico. I guess both countries aren't too different.
