But I guess he's back by now? I'm not sure how this lent thing works. Easter for me is all about chocolate, and trying to fly a kyte in the snow. Wait, does lent have anything to do with Easter? The Lent season ends with Easter, and yes...it has every bit to do with Easter. I'm not sure what exactly that is...Catholics tend to take Lent a bit more seriously than other denominations of Christianity (I'm a Baptist myself)...but Lent is directly connected with Easter.

Catholics celebrate lent by giving somthing up for 40 days because Jesus gave his life for us so we feel that the least we can do is give somthing up for 40 days to show our appericiation.

HELLO!!! Its great to be back, and I see that Mitch put on the Mike smilies . I'll be honest giving up computer wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Still, I can't count how many times I thought about just looking something up on the computer or wanting to play some game or another. Oh, and by the way, Happy Easter everyone!

Dude! Welcome back, Matt! I'm glad to see you didn't have too hard a time with giving up the computer (I'll be honest, I wouldn't have made it haha). Hope your Easter is going well! Again, good to have you back.

I figured you'd be posting something today or tomorrow. Welcome back Matt!!! I hope you are spiritually closer to yourself, or cleansed, or just more appreciative of the time you can spend on the computer in the first place... LOL

Hey, its always nice to see new faces on the board!
I wouldn't say I'm more appreciative of the time I spend on the computer, but of the time I spend off of the computer. In the time I was off the computer I joined a band and I have started taking guitar lessons, not too mention I have made some really good friends. Next year I might attempt giving up pop, but that might be pushing it.

T-T I would die. Mainly because my occupation requires me to use a computer. What kind of band are you in? Good luck with the guitar lessons. I used to play guitar... but then I gave up becaues I sucked too much.
