Gearing Up for "Talk Like a Pirate Day"

FYI: September 19 is the International 'Talk Like A Pirate Day'.

In addition to that, the Priestie Boyz are gearing up (like I said in my previous post) for Crossroads Music Festival, and I'll be tagging along. We just finished ordering T-Shirts for the event (they'll be awesome, and they'll be sold online as well!), and the band is going to start gearing up for recording after the show's over.

The soccer season starts Sunday, and I'm quite excited about that; also, we have now acquired new fish in our 2nd floor fishtank. They add quite a bit of liveliness to an otherwise dull area, and provide entertainment when I feel like taking a short break from my studies. Here's a picture of them:

New Fish in Fishtank

I have posted pictures from the Serra Night at the Ballpark (with Priests and their parents as well as many seminarians) and a few pictures of the new fish/fishtank on my Seminary Website.

Crazy Reflection...

As I begin this new school year, I have reflected a little on some of the most important things I do in my day-to-day life (i.e. Holy Mass, social interaction with family and friends, prayer, schoolwork, soccer, web stuff), and I have been discerning what things need to be 'cut out' in my life. I have begun a 'semi-quasi-fast-ish' kind of thing for the Internet, and for the two weeks I've been doing it, I've noticed a change for the positive.

Instead of completely cutting myself out of 'the web,' I have disentangled myself from certain things I did every day (such as checking many different news sources, checking computer updates, etc.), and I only use it for important purposes. I encourage you to look into your own life and see if there are certain time-consuming activities that you could lessen.
