Everyone Wants Your Money!...Merry Advent!

One In Six Americans Are Online SellersMore than one in six Americans who go online have sold something, or tried to, most of them using Internet classified and auction sites, a new poll said Monday. The Pew Internet & American Life Project's phone survey found that 17 percent of Internet-using adults have sold goods or services online, with about 2 percent selling something on any given day.--InformationWeek

And by the way... Kenric wins a free mole day! Speaking of money how did shopping go on Black Friday? It's funny how the day where we are thankful for the things we have is followed by a day where people forget their gratitude and struggle through crowded shopping malls to fulfill their stupidest wants. Somehow I guess the so called "Holiday Season" started then. Sorry but I celebrate CHRISTmas. Well I find that it offends me to take out the name of God from everything. So how come people don't go to extreme extents to make sure me and many other Americans are not offended? Have you noticed that Christmas seems to start at the beginning of Advent and end on Christmas? Christmas lasts for twelve days starting on Christmas Day. Maybe if people tried to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas their would be a lot less stress. I've heard so many times that the true meaning of Christmas is all about giving. Christmas is the season of giving. Yes giving is very good, but it's not called 'givingmas' it's Christmas. Why do we give? God GAVE us his son so we give to one another! Christmas is about God. Not the dancing tigger, not tickle me Elmo, not Santa Claus, not the new Xbox 360, not video games, not shopping, not winter, not only giving, not only family. GOD is the reason for the season!!!!! No more of this holiday tree stuff. It's a Christmas tree!!!!!!! We don't worship santa claus, we worship God. Now that's it's advent we have to prepare for the second coming of the Lord. Prepare your soul. Advent is a lot like lent. Try to pray more during advent try to be nicer to people, try not to get so frustrated with your professors, read the Bible, pray the rosary, go to weekday masses. Prepare yourself during advent and keep watch!

This kind of has nothing to do with anything, but why can't school have a Catholic theology class as an elective during high school? No student would have to take it so no one could complain that they are being force to follow a certain religion. Someone might say that well they would have to have classes for all denominations and religions in order to be fair, but quite a few schools have students who speak different languages like Spanish, Arab, and others and schools aren't required to teach Spanish in order to be fair. It makes perfect sense, but I guess people don't think logically like me and Tom.
