TODAY IS THE FEAST OF ST. JOHN BOSCO

St. John Bosco: “When deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction” (Job 7:14). God has revealed things to men in dreams throughout time. In the Bible we read many stories of how God spoke to His people through dreams. He revealed to Joseph that Mary was …

People can be so shitty.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

This morning I asked my co-worker for a wake up call if I didn’t call him by 11AM. This was our conversation:

Me: Hey, it’s me.

Him: Are you  awake?

Me: What do you think? I’m not a somnambulist.


And I have enough problems with people who think I’m psychic. 

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Why are people posting obituaries of people who have been dead over a year?

TODAY IS THE FEAST OF ST. TIMOTHY

St. Timothy: Born at Lystra, Lycaenia, Timothy was the son of a Greek father and Eunice, a converted Jewish woman. He joined St. Paul when Paul preached at Lystra replacing Barnabas, and became Paul’s close friend and confidant. Paul allowed him to be circumcised to placate the Jews, since he was the son of a Jewess, and …

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN

Should Parents Be Allowed In Church?: This month The Great Children In Mass debate was reopened across Catholic Internet Land.  I believe it all began with Tommy Tighe’s “Letter To The Lady Annoyed By My Kids At Mass.”  Boom.  The Internet exploded.  Having slogged through the various articles and, more distressingly, the comments beneath, I think there is a certain disconnect …

WHY MILLENNIALS BECOME CATHOLIC

Why Do So Many Millennials Become Catholic?: Why do so many millennials become Catholic? It’s not because they’re hipper than thou, and it’s certainly not because they’re holier. Michelangelo’s writhing, unfinished statues of slaves, struggling in their prisons of stone, are a picture of millennial converts to Catholicism: broken and banished from Eden, stuck in the fallen flesh of Adam, yet baptized …

The antidote for pride is humility, but before humility can come, an individual must come to know why …

SWEET MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD

My aunt and uncle used to listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIBTg7q9oNc&app=desktop

It was one one of those huge old-fashioned "hifi's." Aunt I might still have it. 

THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS

High blood pressure, food poisoning and nerve pain. 

MET A LONG-TIME FACEBOOK FRIEND

We didn’t recognize each other. I thought if the crutches didn’t tip her off the tattoo would:

And how are you doing these days? are you skinny now? send photo.”

I answered “have you grown any more hair? Send photo.”

I WISH I COULD INTERNALIZE THIS

Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility: As the novel shows, the corruption of sense in the form of prudent self-interest leads to marriages based solely on money, and the corruption of sensibility in the form of license leads to elopement, seduction, and children out of wedlock. Both attitudes destroy the ideal of marriage that forms the basis of civilization in Austen’s …

I admit I am almost all sensibility, but fortunately it has not resulted in "elopements" or "children out of wedlock."

It's you again. Quit being an asshole. Keep hating. I'll keep posting. What IS your problem, anyway? What the hell do you do, sit there and wait for my posts to appear so you can flag them? Do you feel THAT threatened by me? It's Saturday--I guess you have nothing to do but log onto craigslist and flag other people's ads, as opposed to building your own business. Really, I supposed I should feel sorry for you.

REALLY, YELLOW CAB?

Trying to charge me $42.00 for a cab ride that should have cost me less than $19.00? You suck. 

HALLELUJAH!

I am down 33 pounds since the fall of 2012. At that point my blood pressure was so low at least two doctors talked about putting in a pacemaker. Not sure how much I've dropped just in the last week--having one person and one pig sick helped.

This was me in January, 2012:

“OUR FACES LOOK 45, OUR BODIES 18”

“We’re 28 and the children call us ‘madame.’”


Annalisa Ericson

“Looking at you tonight... knowing everything that's been taken away from you. A chance for motherhood and your health and that baby. I think that...I don't know, maybe they're right…maybe what they say is true, though for all the wrong reasons. It's the personal costs that are too high. There’s so much more you need to do with your life. There's so much more than this. There has to be an end, Scully.”

David Duchovny

I started in radio 34 years ago this month. It’s like the Belgian surrealist René Magritte said, “one has to do something.” I did it to impress a guy, who turned out to be gay anyway. Sure I tried other stuff--public relations, massage therapy, teaching, the Census Bureau, getting four Microsoft cerfitications--nothing else panned out.

I could have got married--there were at least two guys who would have married me. They say the greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother. Conversely, the greatest gift a woman can give her children is to love their father. But I am looking for more in a man than a meal ticket or a sperm donor, which may have been a mistake. And I can think of at least three men for whom I would have ditched it all and taken some crappy government PR job, even moved to Mississippi. None of them wanted to marry me. So here I am. As Dave Davies said, "it was a pretty good scene, man." Or as I told Bobblehead about lesbian sex, it is what it is.
