MY LIFE

It’s here… the end of January, 2008.
Which means it is official.   I’ve not had sex with anyone for 10 years.
Okay, no big deal.   Whatever.
But it does bring up broader issue of celibacy as a way of life.  I have chosen (so far … I mean, it’s not a lifelong commitment or anything like [...]

Okay, so that’s a no-brainer.   Everyone knows I left New Orleans August 27, 2006, just two days shy of the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall there.
But not a single part of me wants to go back.   I have gone away from there.   I have no current connections to anyone there.
There ARE a [...]

You’ve all heard how IDIOTS are trying to pretend that Genesis gives the TRUE and ACCURATE account of how the earth came to be — “Creationism”.
The Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” and that’s exactly what happened. Science can’t prove anything, and their evolutionary theory is JUST a [...]

Y’all know that I used to be Christian, and that I am no longer Christian.
And you know that I used to be Theist (having a belief in god(s)) , and now I am Atheist (having an absence of belief in god(s)).
The two are not the same.   Not all former Christians have turned to Atheism. [...]

I just saw this piece about Ateizm.org because some fundamentalist got his panties in a twist. The guy went complaining to the courts about criticisms posted on Ateizm.org and they shut it down… TWICE.  What the fuck is wrong with the world that people are unable to accept the fact that other people have [...]

So, you’re stopped at a red light, intersection at Woodforest and the Beltway 8 frontage road, right?
And you see an old a middle-aged man with his granny cart full to overflowing with groceries, leaning on his cane, obviously waiting for the “Walk” signal to permit him lawful passage across the street.
He moves side to side, [...]

This kid is AWESOME!!!! Here’s his most recent cut, him (JUST HIM) singing a duet with himself — the duet from Mariah Carey and Boyz 2 Men “One Sweet Day”. This kids just gets better with each of his songs.
Enjoy:

Between dyeings and packings, I went over to Fundies Say The Darndest Things and came across yet another amazingly stupid comment:
ok, so they say it is healthier to have sex with a condom. you know what is healtheir, waiting until your married to have sex so you dont need condoms. im tired of hearing people [...]

Okay…. THIS is the phone call I wish I had made. If you are bothered by telemarketers, you will definitely appreciate this phone call, taped and provided for our entertainment:

Have a look at what PZ posted today over at Pharyngula: Heath Ledger dead and why it matters. Actually the whole Web seemed abuzz with this piece, but PZ seems to have the most visitors and commenters. Fun read. The long and short of it surrounds the continuing saga of the [...]

Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, 23, was arrested in 2007 after downloading material from the internet relating to the role of women in Islamic societies. It sickens and saddens me that someone would be arrested and condemned to die for accessing something on the Web.   It is a crime against humanity that this sort of [...]

Well, okay, it hasn’t happened yet, but it is coming.  And it seriously grieves my heart that within the next 50-75 years (probably 25-30, but I’m trying to be generous), America will not only lose it’s position as a world power, but it will likely be the laughingstock of the rest of the world.
Why?   [...]

Today most of the country is observing the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  You can read the text of his famous “I have a dream” speech here.
I believe he meant well.   I believe he truly wanted nothing more for black people than what the majority white folks got.  I believe he wanted [...]

OMG!!!!   Lookie here!  Hands extended, long hair and beard slightly wind-blown, wearing a flowing long robe, it looks like so many images of Jesus hanging in churches all around the world, thanks to artist renderings through the ages.   Isn’t it amazing??

Now, click here or click on the picture for some HILARIOUS comments about the [...]

Well, here it is, almost 5:00 in the morning.   And I’ve been up and awake since 2:30.
Geez!
It has been another phenomenal week for orders.   And another pending backlog because of the mill.  Whatever.   Yarns arrived late Friday.  More yarns are arriving Wednesday, and Tuesday morning I have to place a HUGE order for [...]

If you’ve watched the news or read the papers lately, you are probably familiar with the story of the pregnant Marine who was killed by another Marine, who is now on the run. You can look up the latest on CNN if you want. The story itself is despicably awful. It [...]

Sheesh!    taking a break from winding yarns.   Damn what a full day this is going to be.
I seriously need a bookkeeper to help me figure out where  money needs to go and in what order, so that I can cover expenses, taxes, postage/shipping costs, and everything else on the business side and still take care [...]

Over and over, all over the Web, there are essays and posts addressing the issue of The Meaning of Life.   More specifically, the idea that “without God what’s the meaning? what’s the purpose?”.   And that question comes in about eleventy-seven different flavors, but the gist of it is that without God in your life, [...]

Uhhh….  which set of Ten?    Very confusing, don’t you think?  There’s a set that the Protestants follow, a set that the Catholics follow, and a set that the Hebrews (Jewish) follow.  The Protestant and Hebrew versions are similar.
The first commandment:   “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Okay, cool.    But if there is [...]

I found these floating around the Internet in several places. I don’t know the original sources of them, individually or as a list, but they’re fun.
