Ash Wednesday, in the Western Christian calendar, is the first day of Lent, and occurs forty-six days (forty days not counting Sundays) before Easter (Wikipedia). Ash Wednesday is also the first day we give up something we cherished or often do until Easter. I gathered up just 5 hardest things in my opinion will be hard to give up, for some (list is not in any particular order).

Why I Sometimes Hate People!

When I was growing up, my mom would always tell me to respect other people. She would preach to me not to judge people because I don’t know them and I don’t know where they’ve been. She would tell me to treat others how I would like to be treated. These are great words to live by and I’ve tried by best to live by these guidelines. However, this can be very difficult at times because there are so many annoying people who do random irritating things. The list can go on for days but here are some that I’ve noticed daily.

Many people picked the Indianapolis Colts to blow out the Saints due to the Saints struggles at the end of the season. Peyton Manning has been to the Super Bowl before so he should have the edge to take his team to victory.  If you watched the game, it looked as if the Colts had the Saints where they wanted them, by taking an early 10-0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter.  Even when the Saints was at the Colts goal line, they opt not to go for a field goal and went for it on 4th down.  Many would say that Sean Payton’s play calling was idiotic, but this is the championship game, he is playing to win because there is no next game if they lose so he is using every single trick up his sleeves to win.

Gilbert Arenas has been charged with a felony because of  last month’s locker room confrontation with his teammate.  Arenas has reached a plea agreement that would result in little or no jail time. If convicted, Arenas could face a five years in jail.  Devin Harris told reporters that about 75% of NBA players carry guns because they fear of getting robbed.  Other player says it is ok to carry a gun as long as it is done legally.  Arenas took  guns that were unloaded, out in a effort to play a practical joke on a teammate and did not expect everything to end up with him getting suspended from the league.  Only time will tell if he will forever banned from the NBA but for sure he wont be back with the Wizards.
