While living here in Cleveland, I've been exposed to a diverse religious culture. Jewish and Catholicism being the most prevelant. It's been a wonderful learning experience. Escpecially since yesterday was Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday for those of us who don't speak French, and I got to hear all about how one of my co-workers stuffed her face and got hammered! It was entertaining to hear, to say the least :). Well today, she is going to church, since it's now Ash Wednesday, so that she may confess everything and start anew. Along with that, she'll start Lent, which is a 40 day fast. She will give up something she loves for 40 days and won't eat meat on Fridays.
Anywho, I thought to myself, "Hey I might want to try and give something up for 40 days, just to see if I can do it". So I'm giving up soda for 40 whole days *gulp*. Let's see if I make it. I'm going to start this "No Soda Embargo" by watching "Chocolat". I love that movie. It takes place during a Lenten Fast, and it has Johny Depp in it. Plus, it's a really good story.

"Let the great experiment begin!" (If you've ever seen Arrested Development, I'm sure you chuckled).
