(not so) smart spending

Went to Lotus last night (friday)... really nice, posh restaurant/club/lounge... spent way too much money... argh.. and i wasn't even planning on going... but you all know how i am.. i'm very easily suckered into doing things.. haha.. i guess it was a good experience, but crazy expensive. on the taxi ride home last night.. i felt sooo guilty... so annoyed of myself. i totally coulda spent that money on more beneficial or useful means. oh well... twas an experience.

on a more positive note, spending all that money on food and club last night really made me look at what's important in my life and where i would and could put that money to better use. it also pacified some of the reluctance i had to spending a big sum of money on the things that actually are important in my life.

about the war... i could talk forever about the war and come up with no conclusion as to whether or not i'm pro- or anti-. but i was reminded yesterday by a friend that what stance we hold towards the war is not the pressing issue. what's important is that as a christian, we're out there caring and loving the people on our campus who are hurting cuz a family member or someone is in the war or something...
pray for the soldiers of both sides, their families, the civilians in Iraq, and Bush and other government leaders involved...
