Better Day

I call this place #MyBlueHeaven. It’s the place where I felt most in touch with #God. The nuns sang for dinner (literally) and there was a ski lodge up the road. Oh, and the “convenience” stores were convenient for getting your liquor via chocolate candies. (FTR, I preferred the Lake Como area.)

Exercises in futility

There are matters of faith and matters of science. I wrote a term paper with a friend a long time ago about the intersection between the two. We wrestled with it for days, and we both agreed that the two are not mutually exclusive -- or was it inclusive -- that’s the problem; it’s not exactly what any message conveys; it’s what is conveyed and at what time. If there’s too much input, then the output is changed. Another friend would say that this is reflective in the mentally ill; too much stimuli for one person can produce futility and confusion; to another it is a breeding ground for creativity.

What do you do when your mother starts emailing you with acronyms you’ve never heard of? Thank God for the internet! (FTR [for the record], AAMOF means as of matter of fact.)

When you’re a poor kid, you have to make some compromises to get ahead. So, I try to remember the tale about the hare and the turtle. I think we all know how that story goes.

I was proud of myself for putting on this tie at age 10 or 12. (This was back when I had a full head of hair.)

Movin on up

Happy Resurrection Day, my dear cousin. The Vatican sends their greetings.

Taylor Swift and the Trap of Needing To Be Liked

Swift's constant search for approval is a product of our internalized misogyny, but in 'Miss Americana,' she lets that go. We need to do the same.

This is my favorite of the #MissAmericana reviews, although I think the headline is a bit off. (Loved the doc, BTW. I subscribed to Netflix just to watch it.)

We wouldn’t want that! Listen up, Hollywood!

you guys don't understand, i will melt into a puddle if emergence is not renewed for season 2

Tirades

Someone in the house where I’m staying is throwing a tantrum because I have the same name as his. And he’s still yelling about it...

A few good dance-hall tracks to kick off your Spring Break. Enjoy!
