God bless/damn it

Posted by insomniac on 11/24/2010 · Leave a Comment 

When people are trying to clean up their language, they’ll replace “damn” with “bless” when they’re upset about something. For example: “God bless it” replaces “God damn it”.

From Facebook jerks to random vandalism to the expected stress of an ex, the negativity compounds until I can conclude that sometimes people suck. The move from home to home is on-going. We have the old place through the end of November so we’re … Continue reading →

Have you ever wished someone was dead? I’ll admit it. I did once or twice. I didn’t mean it, but my emotions were so rough at that moment that my thoughts went that dark. I regret going to that place and am ashamed that I let myself be that way. I know better. I am … Continue reading →

UP characters Ellie and Carl at their mailbox

When you go to the Disney/Pixar website for the movie Up!, you will not find a character listing for the most important character in the story, Ellie.

Who’s not talking about NaNoWriMo? It’s all that’s on anyone’s blogs for the first week of November.

They’ll start all over again next November. … Continue reading →

Let me start off by providing John 3:5-6, 9-12: Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts … Continue reading →

Over the next few weeks, this blog will be moving away from Blogger to Word Press and, in the process of that move, will find its own domain. Since I am in the process of moving my tangible things into another living space over the next few weeks, we can expect that neither moving adventure … Continue reading →
