not that im all that religious or anything, but now that there's a new pope i have this weird feeling going on. at first i was super psyched with all the pomp and circumstance of the whole thing, but i was a little disappointed that they chose ratzinger. maybe the naming of the new pope reminds me that john paul II has died. my parents named me ( Read more... )
