More importantly, what does it have to do with songwriting?

Give up MB! haha..jk

i'm not planning on giving anything up this year (wonders if i ever actually have) i don't care enough.. its a pointless thing to do really.

almost like having christmas (jesus's birthday) on dec 25 every year.. when he was said to be born on jan 6th (old chirstmas day) i mean really can you just change a persons birthday??? so stupid....

if i was going to give up anything it would be dirty sexual thoughts.. but seeings how thats how my brain works it would be inpossible... so fuck that shit.. i enjoy my life far to much

The Catholic religion is full of these type of things-you always have to give up something or do more of something. I can't see what the point of it all is to be honest. The good thing about it is though it forces people to lay off fatty foods and whatever for about a month. So it's a good way to diet, but that's the only thing it is. I think the only time I have ever given up something for Lent was chocolate. And that lasted all of 2 days.

EDIT: I just read explosions' post and I also feel that the whole Jesus birthday thing is stupid. It has been proved that Jesus' birthday is Jan 6th, yet Christmas stays on December 25th obviously because it would be 'bad for business'. That shows you just how important the Catholic religion is these days.

Methinks it was september, its what Ive always been taught. . . Around about the 29th I believe. I think the Greeks started the january 6th thing, it relates to when their Gods were born or something along those lines. . .

Anyway, hell knows why I know that.

And yeah, I was lame and gave up eating chocolate & crisps [I chose to say "eating" so I could still drink hot chocolate] but then yesterday I completely forgot about it until half way through a packet of chocolate hobnobs

No there's no bad luck attached to Lent. I think it's classed as a sin though. Then again everything is *lights up a spliff downs a bottle of Stella and bangs a prostitute*

Aha. My mum told me I was gonna get fat if I carried on.
I'll admit, I used lent as an excuse to give it up. . .
But hey, its hardly a sin if I only went like, 2 days.
..Right??
I just couldnt resist the hobnobs

Hmm.
When I was ickle, my dad got me to give up violent games&tv programmes for lent.
Ive always felt really bad for not telling him I still played them at school without him knowing. . .
