This is for someone going thru a rough time

Really good quote:
“It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” (Carl Sagan)
I hope the person this is intended for gets to read this quote – and even better – maybe even realizes it is for them!

More than just a clever name …

Which one is the pot, and which one is the kettle?

When I was growing up and we read about church sex abuse scandals like this Associated Press Story on settling out of court, it was always presented in our publications as hard evidence the Catholic Church had “fallen away” and did not have God’s approval.

Everybody has a harmless crush …

Here’s mine:

Vomit inducing for sure. Can Modest Mouse take legal action? Geez.
Which brings us to the funniest banter of the [...]

Another LOST recap show? Give me a break!

Settled in at 9pm to watch LOST. Turns out it was another one of those annoying and self-serving wrap-up shows they like to do. I am starting to get sick of the way the networks play with our lives in order to keep us on their station for one more hour so they can sell [...]
