Freeforreal's Blog After being "born again" for so many years, (with religion) I am now "un-born" again!
Posted by Freeforreal on 2010-06-16 07:13:13.

How many of you out there, are "un-born" again? I became "un-born again" last year, finally. I spent most of my adult 63 years, being "born again". How many years did you spend being "un-born again"? Wow! Amazing, isn't it? Along comes this "nice" person in the street and hands you a "tract". You know what that is, don't you? It's usually a 1,2, or 3 page tiny paper booklet that has a brief explanation on why "you should be saved" and a few "bible verses" to go along with it. Oh sure, I knew about... One comment

Odinsravens's Blog Darwin Badge 12 goes missing
Posted by Odinsravens on 2009-11-15 10:09:22.

Going for the Sunday papers this morning ,I find someone has "borrowed" yet another Darwin badge from the back of my jeep ! So whilst doing the now endlessly repetitive task of checking glove box , door pockets etc to find another one - Ahh that is what they don't tell you - the volume discounts are for replacments ! Finally found an Evolve fish - stick on in same place and drive to shop ! Whilst contemplating someone's actions ,if they are religious is it not breaking the commandments of... 3 comments

Exene's Blog When Love Turns To Hate - Revised On 12/15
Posted by Exene on 2009-09-12 21:45:05.

Love really doesn't turn to hate - it was just something I was feeling at the time but I have recovered from the sadness. We get over things, we have to accept things as they are. I just have to look past his faults when he does something that bothers me. It's going to happen sometimes. It isn't the end of the world, and now I even find that things haven't changed so much after all. Sometimes we just have to accept, let things go, open up and love again. There's nothing else... 2 comments

Exene's Blog Show Me The Love - Revised on 12/15
Posted by Exene on 2009-09-04 08:53:28.

The contents of this blog entry have been deleted - information is too personal about my father. He and I had a tough time; there can be no question about that. Yet, as I look at him as he is now, I don't see how hanging onto all the injustices from childhood is going to make anything better. My father wasn't a perfect dad - he sure as hell didn't do everything right and yet I will never find it in me to hate him. He is old now, in need of company and despite all the tensions a part of my heart bleeds for him. In the end, love always prevails. 2 comments

Exene's Blog I Can Be Hateful Too - Revised on 12/15
Posted by Exene on 2009-09-04 07:04:26.

Boy, I really was having a rough time, wasn't I...? Anyway - so. No, I don't like porn and I still don't. Not for me, end of the story. But it doesn't mean that I have to be hateful. Visited with little sister last night and showed her the cover of the LP. I asked her what it looked like to her, her answer was what I thought it would be. No big surprises there. We were raised in a very strict Irish-Catholic family. Church every Sunday, CCD classes, singing in the choir about how wonderful Jesus... 2 comments

Exene's Blog Everybody Has Their Time
Posted by Exene on 2009-07-02 09:56:40.

...So I just found out this morning, that my uncle passed away earlier today. I called my dad (the two were brothers) to see how he was doing; he seemed to be taking the news pretty well. Uncle was very sick, the last few months of his life; and when someone is as sick as he was toward the end, death can almost seem like a hidden blessing to the suffering. Whenever someone I care about passes on, the whole concept of a god comes back to the forefront of my mind. Death is very hard for people to... 2 comments

Exene's Blog My Sister's Got Her Head Parked Up Her Ass
Posted by Exene on 2009-05-27 15:33:41.

...Last night I was so angry with my sister I swear I could have killed her. I go visit her every week, once a week; she has problems and very little money so I go over her place to help out and lend her some support. I clean her dishes, buy us dinner and we usually do some drinking while we 'hang out'. But last night the situation was ridiculous. There is a woman in my sister's apartment building that she has been getting 'chummy' with lately (that lives two doors down from her); and last night... 2 comments

Exene's Blog Priest Gets Caught On The Beach With A Chick... He Be Damned!!
Posted by Exene on 2009-05-18 09:58:32.

I caught a snippet of news, about a priest being caught on the beach with a woman (I think it was somewhere in Florida). What I say about this is, I HOPE THE SEX WAS TERRIFIC. This whole idea about modern-day priests expecting to be celibate their entire lives... quite frankly I just don't understand it. Look, in Goethe's time (18th and 19th centuries), maybe this way of life made more sense; men everywhere during this period were getting what they called 'The French disease' from prostitutes,...
