[He's had tons of xanga posts dedicated to him haha]
Considering I never actually had him to start with I can't say that he got away. But this guy was someone I was willing to give everything and anything for, had he realized what was in front of him. I've liked him since my senior year of high school. Before that, he was just another guy among the student body. What 1st attracted me to him was his intellect.Man the guy was smart. He had a way of connecting with an audience when we did speeches, and always sounded like he knew what he was doing. Apart from that, he was attractive (enough),funny, and basically everything I wanted and liked in a guy. The only thing was that he was completely oblivious. Throughout that school year, I don't know how obvious I was in showing my interest in him. I remember mentioning prom to him and him saying "I'd rather work than waste money". Tell me that isn't some BS.I always felt deep in my heart that he felt the same way, but just wasn't man enough to say it.*Sigh*Graduation came, and we went our separate ways. He went to the private university in my town and I moved away. A day didn't go by my 1st year of college where I wasn't thinking of him and what could have been. When I came home for the summer, I saw him again and had some small talk and some IM sessions. After some great debate with myself,  I finally manned up and sent him an email telling him my feelings. He never responded. Whether he read the thing or not, I realized that I have spent so much energy trying to get this guy to like me and for what? I'll always have a special place in my heart for him but it's time for me to move the fcuk on ( and I think I have)........

I'm not one to discuss controversial issues because heck I'm just not that good at it. But I just wanted to share with you a little bit about my religion. First off, you might be wondering what my religion is.Well I'm Catholic. There's a lot of misconceptions about Catholics. Most of which consists of us being uninformed about our religion and that the only time we ever go to Church is on Christmas and Easter. I admit,some of it is true. Some people go to Church but can't even tell you what the homily is about. I can't say that I go to Church regularly. I try to go as often as I can but sometimes it just doesn't work out.The least I can do,though, is have some knowledge about my religion so that I don't look ignorant when people ask me about it.

Catholics aren't Christians. People like to say that. I'm here to say: Of course we are. We believe in God just like any other Christian denomination. We just have different practices and traditions. And sure my religion lacks the enthusiasm of other religions, but that doesn't make us any less Christian. Another assumption is that Catholics do not read the bible. I can't speak for the millions of Catholics out there, but I do.When I was younger I thought the Bible was one big boring book. Now after learning about it some more, I appreciate it. When possible, I flip through the Bible and highlight quotes that I find interesting and meaningful. The last thing I don't thing people really get about my religion is the idea of saints. How I see it, saints are like messengers. You can talk to a person directly or use a device as a way to converse.Saints aren't trying to be God, they are merely another way to communicate with him.

My faith in God is very strong. I believe that he has a plan for me, even when it doesn't seem clear at the time.People think that God is suppose to answers all our problems. But truth be told: God isn't like a Genie. He can't wish everything away. If God can do that then there would be no war, hunger, or sadness. And we all know that's not gonna happen.

I know there's some people out there that don't believe in God. And I can respect that. The problem with our society is that people like to criticize people who are different than them. I have family members who are Born-Again Christians and Jehovah Witnesses. Our beliefs are total opposite of each other, yet I don't hate them because they happen to have a different religion. If their religion(or lack of) is what makes them happy, then why change them.

So that's my little rambling about religion. Please don't attack me =]
