Seeing another pal make a post after a long time on here made me want to do the same. First, a moment of silence for my friend Zellie, who passed away last month from cancer. I'll miss you.

I am in therapy right now for the many issues I have. Here's hoping I can get a grip on myself and get well.

I have started my own band earlier this year. We are ( Read more... )

I saw someone on TV saying that people who are against universal health care are being hurtful. Let's just say I took that personally. It hurt my feelings. Of course, I know that no one on here is hurt by my views. We've had some ripe barneys (fights in British talk) on here, but we all walk away friends. We can disagree and be friends. So, once ( Read more... )

I feel I have been way too greedy sometimes for my own good. That is a bad thing. I have been trying to find out how to be a more generous person in line with Christian thought, but doing that as well as walking the fine line of staying true to my core principles of freedom. Thankfully, I have fallen upon two papal encyclicals that describe things ( Read more... )

This clock shows our National Debt in real time. The green numbers are what the government takes in. The red is how much "in the red" the government is. I saw this for the first time yesterday and my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Can you believe each of us as taxpayers ( Read more... )

I'd love to be a Congressman. Why? Because my first and only concern would be to listen to my constituents and give them what they want and need. I'd drive lobbyists crazy because I'd tell them to stuff their money up their asses. I'd actually LISTEN to people at town hall meetings and care about their concerns instead of calling them "astroturfing ( Read more... )

I guess no one could answer my question from yesterday... :(

Keep in mind, I am not depressed. I am weighed down by my sins and how I have been a lousy Christian as of late. I don't see how anyone can see me as an inspiration in the faith. I can't unburden myself because my priest/confessor/spiritual advisor has been transferred. So, as you can ( Read more... )

I pose a question to my friends on here, especially ones of my faith (especially Catholics), that has gone unanswered before. It is a question that still confuses me...and no one has been able to answer it ( Read more... )

This column really hit home for me, because I am a father of a child (also the line about clutching a rosary also hits home for obvious reasons) and I hope I never have to go through the hell of having my child diagnosed with a possible cancer. If we had a public health care option, and God Forbid if something happened to Lily, would my little ( Read more... )

To those who may not know, I am boycotting a conservative blog called Hotair.com because of one writer's incessant attacks on Glenn Beck, who is my favorite radio talk show host. Me, my wife, and many of my friends love his work. If none of you haven't seen the DVD Unelectable, I suggest you do! Also, buy one of his books!

This is in reply a Hotair ( Read more... )
