Youth Of Today Reunion 1999. Um. I am to the left of Ray Cappo and I look like either A) it just hit me that I spent 22 hours in a van for this fucking shit, and I still have to go home or B) I am actually shitting my pants…

On another note…
I love Ash Wednesday. I laugh everytime I see these people walking around. It provided me with some laughs in between explaining what the new intel mini macs are and what is the difference between a 1 GB Nano and a 60GB Ipod Video. I found this interesting…

“At Masses and Services of worship on this day, worshippers are blessed with ashes by the celebrating priest or minister. The priest or minister marks the forehead of each participant with black ashes, in the shape of a cross, which the worshipper traditionally retains until washing it off after sundown. The symbolism echoes the ancient Near Eastern tradition of throwing ash over one’s head signifying repentance before God (as related numerous times in the Bible). The priest or minister offers the worshipper an instruction while applying the ashes. These are two examples:
“Remember, man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return.” (Latin: Memento homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris.)
or
“Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.”
The ashes are prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebrations and mixing them with olive oil as a fixative. In the Roman Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is observed by fasting, abstinence (from meat), and repentance—a day of contemplating one’s transgressions. The ashes are sacramental. The penitential psalms are read.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, which lasts until the Easter Vigil. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are permitted to consume only one full meal each day, which may be supplemented by two smaller meals, which together should not equal the full meal. These days are also days of abstinence from meat.
The Anglican Book of Common Prayer designates Ash Wednesday as a day of fasting.
As the first day of Lent, it comes the day after Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, the last day of the Carnival season. The word “Carnival” is in fact derived from the Lenten practice of giving up meat. The Latin words “Carne” and “Vale” were combined to literally mean “Farewell to meat.”

And Santino better fucking win Project Runway.
