This might make people wonder (more) about me (part 1)
Son: Dad, why is it that being gay is not allowed in Catholicism?
Me: Heh, I've wondered that myself many times. It is considered wrong because there is a passage in the Bible about Sodom and Gomorrah paints it that way.
Son: But I thought those angels they were talking about were women...
Me: Yes, so did I the first time I read it. I was quickly " ( Read more... ) -
Yet another reason why I hate this country
A story that escaped my eyes since our cable was canceled really has me burning on both ends. On the one hand, we have the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People being accused of practicing reverse racism by applauding,at a meeting, a USDA official's treatment of a white farmer 24 years ago. On the other hand, we have a viral ( Read more... ) -
Say wha?!
Last week, as I was driving back home, I noticed a rather curvy young woman, maybe about to be a sophomore in college, walking along the street. Whilst admiring her curves from behind (Yes, total guy moment), I see her take off her shirt, with only a string bikini on underneath. This, obviously, makes me gaze a bit longer while still paying ( Read more... ) -
Mini-entry
Firs of all, no, I'm not dead. Y'know, in case anyone was at all worried about that possibility :-P
2nd, I have much to talk about. Very little of it fun. Boo for life rearing it's ugly soap-opera head at me!
(C) PlayStation 3 is my new drug. I literally need to find a way to NOT play it after work every damned day. But then there's Jay who will ( Read more... ) -
Politicians, Tiger, and puppets. OH MY!!
Lots has taken place in this past week, but, similar to last week, I have narrowed it down to 3 or 4 items, beginning with:
THE OLYMPICS!! Holy crap, did you see Shaun White on Tuesday?!? That guy is a freak of nature. His 1260 McTwist? In a word: unreal! Makes me want to try snowbarding more and more, though I doubt I'll ever even touch a ( Read more... ) -
The 'Net, The Body Politic, and Me
I finally got my backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 this week. It only took roughly 15 days to get to me from Newfoundland. Note to self: buying a PS2 AND a PS3 saves time, effort, and probably costs about the same. I also bought a new game for it: Warhawk. Now, I knew it was a game you could play online if you wanted. Problem was, I didn't ( Read more... ) -
From "Sherlock Holmes"
Watson: "...And Put on a jacket."
Holmes: "YOU put on a jacket!"
Is it sad or amusing that I think that whole exchange could have been between Jay and I? I think it still would have made sense :-) -
...And it turns again
Isn't it strange how the holidays can end so suddenly? Much like a great party, they leave you with the feeling of being hungover, but in this case there really is no cure. Just a sudden jolt back to reality. Back to the routine of whatever you were doing before the middle of last month. Most long breaks from a routine can be this way, but for ( Read more... ) -
Laughter to follow in large doses (lol)
Since I love it when I can have a good laugh at some form of government that I don't give a shite about, here's a recent example of it that made me giggle over Turkey Day :) From my beloved newspaper, The Oregonian, and translations on a few of them to give you an idea ( Read more... ) -
New Rules (This has been a long time in coming)
In the spirit of Bill Maher, I decided to come up with a list of new rules that society needs to follow. Think of it as a regulatory verbal bitchslap that too many people have had coming to them if you will.
Rule #1: Everyone has a price. Move on. This comes from a recent rant I heard on the radio last week that Bob Dylan sold his crusty old soul ( Read more... )
