Monstrance of Rock

Posted in found it on the internets, orandi et credendi, this is like a metaphor, up over my head on September 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I’m writing on something loosely connected to this picture, which I found by accident, but am considering as a tattoo.

I’m a little distracted by some other writing I have to do. But, a few things have come to my attention. On breaks.
Number uno, a dude who another dude that is a dude I know knows that is a very talented dude, Robby Hecht. He writes his own good stuff, too, but in this [...]

Gorgeous Behavior

One more comment about worldly gain, and then a song. I promise.

The Matthew 25 Network includes both shunned Obamacon Roman Catholic Doug Kmiec and ubiquitous new [...]

Just Browsing

Posted in all and sundry, cap'n planet, found it on the internets, old news is good news, truth that goes crunch, up over my head, worldly gain on September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

A few things that have become unnecessary essentials lately:
The Moth podcast
Sound Opinions podcast (you were right, Robby, it’s great)
BetterWorld Books: great selection, free shipping, and they are very conscientious, even towards local libraries.

A Nation of Mans
