Holy Thursday...

Right...

Got work the whole day… Oh, well… I remember when Holy Week was all about Christ, reminiscing on his life and deeds, reading the Bible, watching movies about saints and prophets… What? No one misses watching the Ten Commandments? And all those old religious historical flicks! It was a time when we only relayed on the actors doing their best to actually transport us to those worlds of the past with no aid of special effects or eye candy… And actually being very successful at that. Oh, how I miss those movies! Anyway… Now, not even the afternoon of the Holy Thursday is given to be with your family… And people are too into going to the beach and having fun, not even taking a second to think about the meaning of the holyday, of the impact that Jesus had on all cultures and human lives. It is understandable when kids know nothing of the allegories and so ignore the main ideas, but it is a duty of grown-ups to teach some, so values are perpetuated… The greatest illness in our society is the lack of values, the carelessness, the death of innate culture and traditions… People get so involved into living their consumerist lives and forget the important lessons of our ancestors… And so the same mistakes come to pass, over and over… And then we ask ourselves why…

Well… Tomorrow I hope to get some work done at the house, at least filling the holes with cement. Will also try to prime all the walls on the cleared side. Would like to paint the floor on Saturday but I doubt that the cement would be dry, so I may launch into the fireplace wall project… Hopefully Sunday morning can do for painting the floor (maybe), going to church, and the afternoon and night can be used for breezing and celebrating my 34th birthday… Geesh! I’m getting closer to the big 40’s, and it’s all going so fast! Monday morning gotta attend a WIC orientation, requisite of the program… so I shall go to work during the afternoon. Already a full weekend… There is no rest for the wicked…

Yesterday went with Groundel to see The Last Mimzy. It was ok... but if you have other choices, just wait and rent it. Not that spectacular or original... A Sunday family flick...
