Tea contains antioxidants. Antioxidants can help slow down the aging process, and help cells regenerate and repair. Many studies suggest antioxidants also assist our bodies in preventing cancer.

Tonight I found out that oolong tea has caffeine after I had already ingested two cups of it. I had meant to drink tea so that I can get rid of my colds and chill out my nerves and maybe get to bed earlier. Damn.
Caffeine aside, it was pretty good though. Definitely better than peppermint because at least oolong doesn’t taste like water.

To be honest, I can’t help but be excited at the persecution the Catholic Church has been getting lately. It’s as if the culture went from giving us the silent treatment to screaming at us. And I’m very proud of the united efforts of our US Bishops (and…
The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians.

I’m not aiming for an ambitious social life, I’m not going to lead anything, and I have absolutely no plans on filling up my stupid planner with the same volume of things to do as I have now. Please for once, let me skip all the...
