That's what the religious period (for me) that is currently going in is called. I know I don't normally take much interest in my religion, and I seem not to care much really. But this is the one time in the year that I pay any respect to my religion. This year it feels a little different, I guess partly because of my dad, partly with all the shit

Glad to listen ^_^

Also, I know the you are going through the no meat thing, if you need a psuedo-burger next time, chilis can sub out the meat for a black bean patty. I sitll owe you money anyways.

Maybe if you have a spot in your schedule, you could take the Asian Religions class? It does cover Jainism a bit, along with other religions from the area. It's a very academic approach, and even some people who've practiced their religions devoutly said they found out things about their own they didn't know.

I can understand wanting to observe religious holidays, even if not for the religious part, but for the cultural part. Good luck this week! Hope this makes you feel a little better. I miss you guys!

i can relate on teh whole cultural thing dude. every time i go back to mexico i can't have a long drawn out conversation cause i have a hard time keeping up with the speed of their spanish and thinking of the words i want to speak. my mind thinks in english and translates. i can't bring myself to think in spanish never have been. and alot of my history and ancestry i know little about. i say i'm a proud chicano and mexican yada yada but really i have no right to say that given what so little i know about my people. and the us is so culturally diverse you can't even say your american and claim the culture because there is no one culture. i feel ya man. peace out. holla.
