Say Your Prayers! Because the schools can't force you like they should!

So it's Sunday!  Got the SVU on waiting for the game (dawg) to start!  My prediction is that there will be a lot of commercials for beer during the NBA finals!  And the Spurs will win!

So I don't know why but I was thinking about the last time I really sat down and prayed because it was a pretty big defining moment in my life.  Actually it's really not but I"m really bored and figured I would blog about it!

I should preface it by saying that as much as I can remember I never really was much of a prayer guy!  I never really thought about it to tell you the truth.  I was forced to go to church when I was younger and I can't really say I got much out of it except for hating Notre Dame (the stupid priest would sometimes play the Notre dame fight song during Mass which made it last longer so screw that).

For lack of a better definition I guess you could call me an atheist.  Without getting into it I know there is no God but I"m not one of those atheist who goes around making sure everyone knows my thoughts on the matter.  I"m not religious about it is what I am saying!  Growing up I had to go to church and CCD but never really put any critical thought into anything they were talking about.  In fact I remember most of my time spent in Church all I would seriously consider was how awesome it would be if they made a video game where the Incredible Hulk would fight Spider-Man.  Church was just a thing I did.

(Quick sidebar: I think in first grade I had a CCD Class a night where I had a baseball game and one of my teammate's dad's tried getting his kids out early.  The nun's asked him point blank what was more important: "Jesus or baseball?"  The dad answered baseball.)

Anyways the last time I prayed was when I was in 4th grade.  I can remember it rather vividly!  I was in bed getting ready to sleep and I was thinking about a math test I had the next day.  I don't know why because I was not much of a prayer but for some reason I went ahead and prayed to god asking him to help me pass my test.  I swear to aqua buddha right when I finished praying I realized how stupid it was.  And I was in fourth grade.

I immediately realized no amount of prayer was going to change the fact that I either knew how to do the math or not.  I remember being kind of embarrassed about it afterwards.  And that was the last time I ever prayed for anything!

And now you know!
