“No!” The word exploded from her mouth as she stepped on a mine they both vowed to avoid. “You explain it to me now! Why’d you have to sleep with her? Why?”
“Are we still together?” he challenged. “Are we baby?”
“That’s not the point!” she bellowed. She smacked her cigarette between her lips and slapped [...]

You know – I don’t know about all men. So I can’t speak for all of us. But I found myself one day wondering if I had made any sort of impact with my life. You know – whether I mattered in the world. I hadn’t any children of my own. I mean – I [...]
Be Not Afraid
Posted in Culture, Life, News, Roman Catholicism, tagged Catholic, Life, News, People, Politics, Roman Catholicism, Spirituality, Theology on July 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I frequently encounter men my age who are afraid that we’re losing our Christian rights in the United States. I offer this in the spirit of offering solace and succor.
You know my friends, you don’t have to be afraid. And I can hear the fear in your voices. See – truth, regardless of the ideology [...]
True Gifts From The Gifted

I enjoy someone who’s grown a pair and has the confidence in his wisdom and the assuredness in his knowledge to share. I feel like life is a puzzle and each person has a piece and if everyone would share the gift instead of coveting and scoffing – we’d have a world where everyone would [...]
Cheating Someone Out Of The Opportunity To Make Amends

Although I don’t condone adultery in any circumstance – I take the Ten Commandments as literal and actual laws – I don’t understand how cheating takes precedence in the hierarchy of “the unforgivables.”
If someone asks you to tell her the truth – yet pride or fear prevents you from providing her clarity – you’re cheating [...]
Finding “It”

Yes. I have it. I knew it my whole life but I resisted it because I knew I had to earn it. I knew I had to sacrifice to keep it. I knew it came with a cost. I knew it would cost me friends. I knew it would cost me complacency. I knew it [...]
Men Do Home Work Too

I am clean and organized to the point of fastidious. I raised 3 boys as a stay at home uncle. I can cook it, clean it, bake it, organize it, wash it, fold it, iron it, polish it, recycle it, sew it, deodorize it (this was a must), budget it in, and decorate it.
All three [...]
A Little Too Little Vanilla For Me
Posted in Culture, Humor, Life, Random Thoughts, Roman Catholicism, Whimsical, tagged Cake, Catholic, Colors, Crayons, Culture, Food, Humor, Life, Personal, Random Thoughts, Relationships, Roman Catholicism, Spirituality, Theology, Vanilla, White Cake on July 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Vanilla is a flavor. White – as in white cake – is a color. I don’t know which flavor white is supposed to be. I don’t even understand why it’s a crayon. I’m struggling with the white thing lately.
But vanilla = flavor.
So, I’ll address this whole white issue thing. White is a color and not [...]
Strength Of Character
Posted in Random Thoughts, Relationships, Roman Catholicism, tagged Relationships, Random Thoughts, Roman Catholicism, Catholic, Theology, Spirituality, People on July 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Someone can be simultaneously strong and vulnerable. Strength is a quality of character and is defined by fortitude. It’s the ability to resist the temptation to give in, give up, or give out. Vulnerable is an issue of openness. It’s about emotional availability. One cannot be vulnerable unless he has the strength of character to [...]
Why?

I’ll tell you why.
Because it does matter.
Because you do care.
Because you have to choose whether to rise to your feet or fall to your knees.
And if you just walk away – you’ll never be able to face the mirror again.
And that’s why we have to do it regardless of the consequences.
And that’s why we must [...]
Get Out. Get Away. Get On With It. Get Over It.

Now if I just need to get out – I take a walk. If I need to get away – I man up and plant my feet. If I need to take a moment – I take a step back. If I need to take a break – I walk silently way. But if I [...]
Garbled Justifications

You know those women who claim that their clergymen exploit them or coerce them into sexual relationships? Their duplicity irritates me. Ok … so these clergymen are perverts. And yes, they hide behind their collars and their titles. But these women are hiding too. I think it’s entirely misogynistic to allow [...]

They crossed my path as they intersected the store. She toddled behind him. I imagine she’s taken steps behind him for sixty or more years. They say that women age more harshly than men. There’s truth to that. Woman have carried humanity in their wombs and a lifetime of emotional responsibility on [...]

► We don’t need a reason. We must reason. Reason is not a noun; it’s a verb. It’s because we reason – we seek. We must thank God for thirst. Thirst illustrates the lack and the lavish. Thirst is all about degrees. Thirst is all about the yearn. And yearn is longing. We’re not here [...]
And To Amend My Life
Posted in Personal, Roman Catholicism, tagged About Me, Catholic, Life, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Spirituality, Theology on May 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
On the first morning of my 48 year, I woke with two hangovers:
1. I drank too many beers.
2. I’ve gained eight pounds over the winter.
No.
As I laid in the bed I’ve made, I nursed a few memories of the choices I’ve made.
And I’ve made new choices. Some I affirm; some I confirm. Yet I [...]
