Very interesting mass (or I really should be saying Eucharist) this morning

SO I think for the first time in my 22 and a half years of life I saw someone "escorted" from church this morning. It was really really strange. This guy reminded me a lot of Injun Joe in all the different Tom Sawyer movies. He had longer hair and a very rugged face. He started talking to the people behind him at the beginning of church. I thought he just knew them and was just talking way too loud. Then I realized that he was kind of being mean to them and they were looking away and trying to not pay any attention to him. Then he starts doing all this cussing. I'm like what in the world. He was interrupting all of us sitting back there for most of the mass. Then he goes out and comes back in with a football which he's pretending to throw all around the church. He was like getting up in people's faces and talking to them and they were obviously all very scared of him. My guess would be that he has a mental illness, but I'm really not sure. He also could have just been really drunk. I don't know. Then during the petitions when anyone can say petitions out loud, he says something along the lines of "I'm going to hell and all of you are going with me. We pray to the Lord." Most of us did not respond with "Lord hear our prayer" but some of the front people did I think because they couldn't really hear what he was saying. But when it became close to time for communion the ushers kind of escorted him out. It's weird cause you know most religions don't kick people out of church but he just kept cussing and being really loud and was scaring so many people. It was all very strange.
The visiting priest was making some very interesting comments about the different types of religion. He wasn't being mean or judgmental of the other ones or anything though. He was pointing out how Catholocism was started by Jesus but other religions were started by man and also how Catholocism is the only religion that says it can forgive your sins here on Earth. That Jesus wanted people to be forgiven and not live with guilt. He gave the disciples the power to forgive sins and our priests forgive sins for us when we go to confession. It was a intriguing homily.
We went to the drive in on Friday night. It was a fun time as usual. You can't beat $5 for 2 movies plus a great atmosphere and a busy night. We saw Cars and X-Men 3. Cars was really funny. After seeing the trailers and stuff I didn't really have a desire to see it, but I really wanted to see X-Men 3 so that's why we were really going. However Cars was surprisingly good. It kept us laughing most of the movie. All of these people drove their vintage and old school cars there. So while everyone was parked and waiting for the movies (you get there around 7:30-8 and then the movie doesn't start till it's dark around 9) all these people were going around checking out people's cars. It was funny. X-Men 3 was ok. I can't really decide how I felt about it. Maybe I need to see it a few more times. I didn't really like the plot so much and Jean was annoying me immensely. I won't say much more in case you haven't seen it and don't want it ruined.
Yesterday was a sports day. I watched most of the US/Italy soccer game. It was a great game, except for the ref sucking it up and giving out crazy yellow and red cards. That ref needs to not ref any more games. We still have a chance of moving on which would be exciting, but we'll seeif it happens. I think it's kind of funny that we're ranked 4th I believe I heard in the world and everyone knows that we're not. Especially if we can't even make it to the fielf of 16. I love watching all these soccer games though. I'm currently enjoying the Brazil/Australia game.
I also got to watch the Cards game yesterday since they are playing the Rockies. We had some good hitting but it was kind of scary that we almost blew it at the end there.
We're supposed to be going on a hike today, probably Devil's Backbone, so I better finish this up so that I can find out our plans!

Quote of the Entry:
"Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate, break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long"
