  • So here I am in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Why? Well…


    I know this is hard for many to understand, and I’m sorry if this comes as a shock, but for the past several months I have been looking into the priesthood as a possibility. Don’t worry; this isn’t some hasty thing that just popped into my mind. I have good reasons for looking into it, and that is all I’m doing. I haven’t signed off on anything yet.


    Anywho, I’m up here living with the Jesuits on campus at Marquette University for the next six weeks, teaching inner city kids in the mornings and doing fun stuff with other more impoverished Hispanic city kids in the afternoons. Outside those ministries there is time to get to know the other Jesuits here, pray, attend mass, think, watch movies, and pretty much do what we please so long as we try and remember we are trying to live as a Jesuit. We don’t take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but we are asked to observe them the best we can. You all well know I’ll take them seriously while I am here. I plan to at any rate.


    So yes, that’s what I’ll be doing until August 1st. Feel free to email me with questions or if you just want to email me in general. I’ll try and update when I can, and hopefully they’ll be worth your time reading.


    MYSTERY GIRL UPDATE: Yeah, nothing. Haven’t heard anything from her since May. And when I did, she still had not read the letter. I have decided, therefore, that if she has not read the letter by the time of my 22nd birthday, (meaning she has not read the letter for 6 months), I will apologize to her for anything I’ve done to upset her and subsequently surrender all efforts to win her heart. I will, however, remain her friend if she so wishes. So next time you think you can’t wait another second for something, remember: you could be me.

  • I’ve had the same situation where I’ve given a girl an important letter to better facilitate my self expression. I have no idea if she read it.
