Why is it that my Catholic friends keep unfriending me for supporting the teachings of the Church? I'm really curious, because it seems like they have more of a problem with my beliefs than my friends who don't believe in Christ. It's really confusing ( Read more... )

This is yet another sad day for America, with the inauguration of the Cheney-clone Chris Christie as governor of New Jersey and the election of an apparent Teabagger to the seat held by the late great Ted Kennedy. I have to conclude that Americans have the long-term memory of an amnesiac fruit fly, it's only been a year since we got ourselves out ( Read more... )

If the conditions of the roads at this point, with only a few inches at most of snow out there, are any indication, then it's going to be a long night and tomorrow might be impossible as well. I can't call out again tomorrow as I did today, but it's going to be difficult to get to work and home. It figures that we get the potential 2nd worst ( Read more... )

Earlier I saw a banner ad for Chris Christie where he said that the state should "gut" the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). Seriously, this is one of the best reasons I've seen yet for people to oppose Christie. If it wasn't for COAH, New Jersey would have an even more pronounced geographical divide between rich and poor, middle-class towns ( Read more... )

I don't know if it's a sadder fact that I just screamed at my television screen because of an inaccurate question on Jeopardy! or that they got it so horribly wrong. The answer was something along the lines of "This river flows through Washington, DC," and as the geek that I am I immediately stated the correct answer which is the Anacostia. To my ( Read more... )

The secular media, once again, gets Catholicism horribly wrongFor those who aren't Catholic and don't understand the concept of excommunication, lifting the penalty for these four bishops doesn't make them part of the Church nor does it imply any endorsement of their beliefs aside from on matters of theology and Church dogma. There are plenty of ( Read more... )

Is anybody surprised that Major League Baseball waited to stop Game 5 until after the Rays had tied it up? The field was just as messy in the fifth inning, or even the fourth. The only difference there, of course, was that the Phillies were in the lead for both of those innings. It's obvious that the league is desperate to hand the series to the ( Read more... )

So, it's bad enough that I had to turn 29 today (just one more year to 30, yeah I know) but it just got worse from there. Work was absolute hell today, just one thing after another. First I slipped and fell twisting my ankle and slamming my elbow into the floor, which caused me to be in pain for most of the day. Then we get a freak torrential ( Read more... )

In case you were wondering, I haven't fallen into some abyss in the earth. I also haven't vanished into thin air. I'm still around, I just haven't had the time to update recently. October has been a long month. I'm still working at Staples, although that's about to change. That's right, I've found a new job. I'm going to be a teller at the Commerce ( Read more... )
