1st week done

I just finished my 1st week of hanging out with around 8 guys 7 hours a day. I totally love these guys. We are all so different from each other. Religious, non-religious. Older, younger. Nerdy, cool. But I love 'em all. I dunno why. They're just great. I just feel like they're all good.

Yesterday me and another guy didn't make any sales. I told him today that I felt a special kinship towards him because of it. I said I was surprised how bothered I was by the fact that I didn't sell. He told me he didn't care one bit. I was so amazed! I said I really respect him for that. Cause my life is all about feeling bad, no matter what happens. If I sell, if I don't sell.

Truth is, I really wanna sell. I really do! It annoys me that I don't have sales tactics. It's too bad.

It's funny. In a way, they are such a "bad" influence on me. They swear (though I must say not too badly, probably cuz I'm there). They can talk about stupid things a lot. But I like these non-religious guys much more than I do the religious ones. Come to think of it, I don't especially love or connect to all 3 of the religious people in the group. It actually really amazes me. There is a religious woman who is quite annoying. There is a religious guy who, well, is quite annoying. And my supervisor is religious and he is... um, well, annoying.

Isn't that so interesting - and in a way upsetting - that it's like that? I know this isn't exact statistics but if there is something to this, it makes me wonder what makes the religious people so annoying and the non-religious people so much fun and so cool to be around?

I'm telling you, there's something to it. So many people are practicing a suffocating, closed-minded, dead-end "religious" life. I put religious in " because if there is truth to our religion, it will not be a suffocating, closed-minded, dead-end life-style. It will be the most freeing, wonderful, exciting, thought-provoking, deep life-style possible.

If the guy talking about pork is easier than Mr. Religion, I think we need to rethink things. Religious people should be great people.
