Sung to the tune, What I Did For Love from A Chorus Line.
Kiss my ass goodbye.
The sweetness and the sorry.
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla….
What I did for Lent, what I did for lent.
Sorry, but to put fried food and Facebook in the same sentence of what to give up in order to purify your body and soul in preparation for the holy sacrament of whatever the fuck just sounds silly to me. According to Wikipedia, the “pious custom” of penitence sounds like what any hypocrite would do to convince themselves that they are cleansed from their year-long lifestyle of excess.
Let’s start with Twitter? I don’t think so. How about just be less annoying all year long and limit your friggen selfies and 140 character pearls of wisdom and live all year in a place of moderation? For those of you who really are good Christians and using the six week period of Lent as a spiritual discipline, such as reading a daily devotional, to draw themselves near to God, bless you. As a seeker of a deeper spiritual connection to my higher power, there are not enough days in the calendar year to work towards this. But since most humans can’t disconnect their head from their ass, one can probably imagine that a slew of zealots will take this time to convince themselves that they are as righteous as the Lord Thy God and just resume their wanton behavior and take to the social media airwaves and vomit all over the place.
