I have been asking myself what I would miss if I were to give up everything to be a monk. To my surprise, so many things! New movies, knowing smirks at inappropriate moments, dressing like an idiot, music! (speaking of music, I'm currently taking a mental break with the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack... in a monastery... how is that NOT funny? Maybe I have been couped up too long as I am actually dying laughing thinking about that... I think I am one step away from drawing a face on a volleyball and calling it Wilson.) the freedom to walk farther than 2 miles, road trips, good fiction books, girls, strange items in the wal-mart pharmacy, the ability to laugh at some of the silly things these monks do, Alfredo's!, talks with Phil, Kraig and Brenton's relentless harassment, Skyler's crazy wisdom (or is it idiocy?), poop jokes!, ah Lily and Ruby, ugly Kansas jokes, colors other than white and black, harassing Kevin and Amanda, text messaging funny dog picture, spontaneity!, working out with a crazy pre-workout, thinking systematically through problems (here, I don't think they perceive any problems in need of working through), youtube!, starbucks, and that is all I have time to think of right now. Thank You for all these things.
