Like the Lambada, this too is Forbidden…

Appreciating the preciousness of human life, based on the understanding of one’s body constantly changing, ageing, moving toward death since birth and the uncertainty of life helps us appreciate life and prepare for death. It is natural for one’s body to decay especially when accelerated by disease processes. In the final stage when life-sustaining systems … Continue reading »

Blood, Mouth Breathing & Women’s Underwear

I just finished watching Dateline NBC – yea I know, I’ve been watching a bunch of TV, not really able to do too much else. It was all about that Colonel at Trenton Air Force base in Ontario who just happened to also be a serial rapist, serial killer and serial stealer and wearer of … Continue reading »

Having the Courage to Admit you Have a Problem

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone – “to relax,” I told myself – but I knew it wasn’t true. Thinking became more and … Continue reading »

The Viet Cong & Sweet Sixteenth Birthdays

You’re right, having dinner and celebrating didn’t take all night I still had time to go ahead and post a little something – and here’s the … Continue reading »

Albert Einstein and Hooters

Ok, admittedly yesterdays photos were a bit tough to take. So in a gesture of good faith and gentle mollycoddling for all of you, and because I’m in a pretty good mood, I’m writing this while watching Saturday Night Live and the first good sketch in quite a while that made me laugh, heartily and … Continue reading »

Christopher Columbus, Wrinkles & Addiction

So, turns out I have another “disorder” but this one is clearly genetic. It’s a forceful, pulsing, driving – insatiable yearning to iron. As in clothes. No mystery there, anyone who knows my mom, knows she has, I would actually yes, call it an addiction to ironing. I wouldn’t go so far as to put … Continue reading »

Spiders & location, location, location…

This question caused an argument in my house… Research has found that the average person swallows three spiders while sleeping in a lifetime. Guess which side I came down on…. yea, of course I did, I am convinced that not only do we eat spiders but I personally seem to eat like a dozen a … Continue reading »

Watering the Charity Garden with Tears of Joy

Well, chalk another one up in the success column for me – when using the “Bathing in the Blood of Innocents” ritual. It was awesome, couldn’t have gone better if Scarlett Johansson, Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel, Beyonce, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston, Mila Kunis, George Clooney, Halle Berry, Tina Fey….. Oh sweet Jesus who am I … Continue reading »

The Other White Meat

Warning: Todays Post is Exceptionally Graphic and should be avoided by those weak of stomach BUT there is a Christmas tie-in…proceed at your own risk… I warned you… So, these two cannibals are eating a clown, and one says to the other, “does this taste funny to you”? ….. We don’t often have conversations about cannibalism. … Continue reading »

Well, here it is Christmas Eve, Eve… I’m a big fan of christmas.. BIG – I love the whole shooting match. Actually funny I should use the word shooting, I’m sorry you have to hear this from me, especially now but, well, you need to know and so you shall…. It goes without saying this … Continue reading »
