bookmark_borderBad religion
The actions of the Catholic Church, in these instances, are beneath contempt.
I’m not particularly religious, and I’ve not made much secret of that. I think that several religions are fundamentally flawed, but overall there is some value in religion. Whether or not a God exists, the values religion can teach us are mainly valid. When that power is abused I get angry. A friend comments regularly about his faith and oftens makes me pause to realign my own thoughts, I doubt I will ever agree with him on the fundamentals but much of what he says makes sense and is valid in today’s society.
bookmark_borderRetrospect
I’ve been glancing at my posts for the last few weeks and one thing strikes me every time. I’m funnier in retrospect. Or at least I can NOW think of things that would’ve been funny. You know the same way I can never think up a really good putdown at the right time.
Anyone else suffer from the same affliction?

Scored 3 goals tonight, none of which compared to Zidane’s second for Real Madrid, which I watched from the comfort of my own home as predicted.
Was going to comment on some inaccuracies by the ITV commentary team (No Scotland aren’t on a pre-World Cup tour as we didn’t qualify, and how the hell do you know that the two fans who ran onto the pitch tonight were from Glasgow, most likely Spanish or German I would’ve thought…) but I’m too tired.
P.S. Did you notice the tweaks to the site? More coming tomorrow.

You know, I don’t even think I’ll comment on this…
bookmark_borderChampion!
Kicks off in Glasgow tonight, and the city is buzzing. George Square is packed with Spanish and German fans (check the two live webcams) and the atmosphere reminds me of a carnival. This is the side of a sporting event you don’t often get to witness, and I’m loving it. I might even venture back into the city to watch the game from the giant screen they will be erecting. Could be fun.
In reality I’ll be knackered after playing 5-a-side and will prefer to watch the game from the comfort of my own home, Glasgow in mid-May isn’t THAT warm you know…
Meme
I think I’ve started a meme! OK, not quite, but my snake story has prompted another revelation on prolific.org.
