A friend's husband posted this on a social networking site:

"Past failures do not define me
Present circumstances do no define me
Temptations do not define me
Only my Maker gets to define me"

It's a song lyric I'm assuming from Christian Contemporary artist Dennis Jernigan. Here's the thing: while present circumstances notwithstanding, personal failure and temptations DO define us! And only the Maker (Fucking...

60 yo coworker of mine used the term snatch the other day. I was amazed at how non-vulgar she made it sound.

Interesting... I didn't know it was time for my SG renewal. I didn't know I paid that much. I didn't know it was set on automatic renewal. Good thing I made that deposit today.

The site has been attempting to load a single pic for the past ten minutes. I can't do it. Nice noon time fail, SG.

While injuries, accidental or clinical, I have endured do not number that many, I have always thought myself prepared for their savagery and dismembering. I was wrong. Last Thursday I had my gallbladder out. The surgeon, while conveying to loved ones my positive prognosis, described it as "bad" though I couldn't say I have had any truly bad experiences with it (nor previous tests or...

I had to have an abdominal ultrasound yesterday. The luke warm gel they use... let's just say I feel I've endured a money shot. Much more respect for you ladies.

*sigh*

If there was anyone, just one, that I gave a goddamn about in my life. Someone where the acquaintance is positive, fluid and natural. Family think they own you, coworkers use you, anyone else has an ulterior motive... excuse me, Mr. Paul Simon, but rocks aren't forever; they, too, crumble to dust. Hurry on, dust.

Why have all my "friends" on Facebook suddenly found Jesus? Everyone praying for this, hoping for that, quoting "The Good Book." My favorites so far are the ones with terminal illnesses or chronic issues. They pray for good days and know they will have them because their God is an awesome god. Yeah, He's also the God that allowed you to suffer and is diminishing...

A "friend" on Facebook made a post proclaiming how people need to be more like animals; animals don't have war, animals don't hurt for fun. Feeling particularly snarky, I responded. I explained that it is that primal instinct in humans, that animality, that causes the need to mark territory, that primal rage that doesn't fit into the idea of society that we pretend to abide...

Went to eye doctor, now see worse than before I went. Dilated pupils. Hope to have vision back by morning; I've got a novel to write.

My brother lives with our father. He doesn't have a job so pays nothing to live there. To prove his superiority, my father disconnected the wireless internet, hardlined the modem to his computer so my brother couldn't surf the net. Loving to sew discourse into their lives I took an old wireless router of mine and hooked it up in the house where our father...
