Saint Matt Is Alive

I must apologize, because I have been extremely absent as of late. Last time I posted, I was sure I was going to have more time, and at least enough time to post a good opinion a few times a week. Oh boy, was I wrong. Let me layout my week for you, shall I?

I wake up at 6:00 AM, drive two hours to Tampa. Spend the majority of the day at school (Broadcasting/Communications). Leave at 2, get home at 4:30 PM. Leave at 5:00, work until 11:30, and I have to be sleeping by 12:30, or else I won't get anywhere near enough sleep. I do this Sunday through Thursday. Then I play catch up with everything I didn't have time to do during the week on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its rough. Today's Sunday, so I have a little time. Plus I'm tired as balls all the time so I'm napping a lot. I'm not whining though. I am very happy to be in the position that I'm in. On my way to the future. I'm simply offering an explanation as to why I've been lacking in the writing. The people who read my site often deserve it at least.

I've been doing a lot of neat stuff though. I'm honing my skills as a radio performer. I can run the board at our school pretty well in relation to my experience, and last week we took a tour of Home Shopping Network. That was neat. Our group was acknowledged on camera multiple times. You'd think they wouldn't do that, but they did. It was funny walking in on hot sets and seeing the talent on camera get distracted by us walking in. We also got to eat a bunch of food from a cooking segment. It was awesome. The good news is that I'll have a lot more time at the start of November, so you can really expect me to be regular during that time. Despite popular opinion, I am in fact alive and well.

A few people that aren't alive and well are 4 nuns that were given saint status today. How fucking stupid is that? What's the point of it all, really? I mean, I understand these people really believe that there is an afterlife, but why the status change? Sure it's a great status to have if you're a part of the Church, but uhh... you're not part of the Church when you're dead.

4 great lady's, no doubt. But I just don't understand the benefit of the new status. When you talk about them, you can refer to them as Saint X, Y, and Z. As if their greatness is somehow your doing. That's what it's all about, really. The Catholic Church is hijacking their legacy. They're straight up yoinking it from them and saying "Hey! Everything you ever did is because of us and our God." It's crazy how one little title can do that, but it does.

Think of Mother Theresa. She was a Saint, and when people think of her and her memory, they think of all the amazing things she did for mankind... because she did it for God. It's true, folks. Hijacking the legacy of great dead ladies. Not cool, Zeus. Not cool at all. I call foul on the Church. Saint Matt shall point out the truth and reveal the bullshit.
