Aggie Catholic Confession
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been two years since my last confession.
I overslept for 10 a.m. Mass and told my Catholic friends I was going to the 5:30 p.m. one, but then I just didn’t go at all.
I lied to my roommates about the dirty dishes in the sink and about who hit our mailbox last weekend. It was me, but I told my roommates it was our elderly next door neighbor.
I made out with a guy on the Shiner Park dance floor for most of the night. I know it was lustful, but he was wearing a St. Francis de Assisi medal, and I thought it was a sign.
I lied to the bouncer and the bartender at O’Bannon’s about my fake ID. I also overindulged in rum and cokes after I told a guy at the bar it was my birthday.
I skipped Silver Taps because I said I was going to Breakaway instead, and then I went to T-shirt Tuesday.
I ate meat during Lent last year on multiple Fridays, but only because I went to Antonio’s after a night out. I thought it was after midnight when it was really 11 p.m.
I flipped someone off in the St. Mary’s parking lot because I was late and he took my parking spot. I prayed for him in Mass, though, if that counts for anything.
— Milidairy Walk
Riding horseback and scanning the horizon for any cattle left behind, Milidairy Walk proudly lifts his hat and wipes the sweat from his brow. It’s been a long day on the range, and he is ready to get some shut-eye. As he takes in the beautiful sunset, he ponders what his family may do with the ranch generations from now. The sun slowly dips below the hills and Milidairy Walk turns for home, hoping to return before supper gets cold.
