Biggest Whiner Winner

Forget the Oscars, I’ve just won the Biggest Whiner award! Throughout my downtrodden, miserable excuse of a life, I’ve dreamt of that one brief shining moment when I would stand in front of my more pathetic peers to accept my shiny trophy. Ladies, germs and losers, my thank you speech… Continue reading ‘Biggest Whiner Winner’

Bleeding (for) Art: Garlic Infused Version

If you’ve read this previous post, then you’ll recognize the image above - it’s another version of my “Blood from a Stone” painting, sans the infamous real blood from a tragic accident with an evil razor blade. And yes, I’m only kidding - no garlic infusion. Just 7 essential vitamins and minerals. Uh-huh. Continue reading [...]

Bleeding (for) Art

I painted the above image titled “Blood from a Stone” (what seems like) a lifetime ago.

[Photo of St. John Fisher Church's Nativity Scene on Dec. 24, 2006] I was reminded recently that some Christians celebrate Christmas Day NOT on Dec. 25th, but either on January 6th, 7th or 19th. Blogger Iva over at squirrelism.net follows Serbian Orthodox Church practices and celebrates Christmas Day on Jan. 7th. As a Roman Catholic, I [...]

When Bad Behaviour Is Behaving Badly

The first day of a shiny new year always brings countless promises you make to yourself (and perhaps, to others), in hopes of becoming a better person over the course of the upcoming year (or in hopes of having a less f**ked up life). Everywhere on Middle Earth, Men, Hobbits and Dwarves alike are reminiscing [...]
