spare some social change?

I woke up a bit more sore than usual today for some reason. I did 11 miles yesterday with no problem, but right after it I did some stupid yoga / aerobics combined into one workout, and I think I did more harm than good. My shoulders were hurting and my quads were burning. But a few hours into the day and I was fine. I actually did a mile run before I went to work today, for the sole reason of me being up at 6 and not being able to get back to sleep. So I figured I would just go get a mile in real quick, but because of my stupid soreness it turned out to be like an 11 minute mile. Whatevs.

I read an article last week, which can be found here, that basically says more and more Americans are switching or dropping out of the religion that they were raised with. To me, this is awesome. And it doesn't really have much to do with religion. I'm not going to preach my religious views in a blog, but I will come out and say that I am a total fan of social rebellion and change. So when I hear that more than one-quarter of American adults have left the faith of their childhood for another religion or no religion at all, I think nothing but positive thoughts. I love hearing that more and more people are going against what their parents probably forced them to believe as they were growing up. I doubt that we'll ever see a real revolution like our parents saw in the 60's, but little things like this do give me some hope.
