Y'all Wanna be a Monk?

Hey yoo!.....(pause 4 effect)....Yeah yoo! Y'all wanna be a monk?  cuz anyone can be uh monk (unless you a girl.) You can live da super wild lifestyle of starvation, silence an' solitude! Ya dig?

 

Here's da three super-easy steps to bein' a badass monk like me !

 

  1. Since y'all are probably kinda young, you gotta join the brotherhood as a novice. You learn da rules o' da monastery ad' you mus' take a solemn oath. Go and see if dis here life iz right fo' you!

  2. You gots ta take solemn vows. Deez include chastity, obedience an' poverty. Some monks take da vow of silence (but not me! nobody can silence ma SWAG) When they do, dey use sign language ta communicate wit each other in the hood .

  3. Den, all ya have ta do is go learn off diz schedule.

 

3am: Mornin' prayers in church.

4-6am: Return ta bed fo' brief sleep.

6am: Silent prayer.

7am: Brekkie (EATIN' IN STRICT SILENCE)

8-9.30am: Workin' da fields or da library

10am:  High Mass in da church

11-2pm: Workin' again

2pm: Dinner

2.30pm: Readin'

3-5pm: Workin'

5pm: Evenin' prayers

6pm: Supper

8pm: Night prayers and den back ta bed.

It's Eat, Sleep, Pray, Repeat....simples!

So how 'bout abandonin' the totally independant and free-world of 2014 and comin' bak to 1354 AD to live the life of a funky medieval monk?

 

Yeah, didn't think so.
