The Fabrication of Jesus Christ - Christopher Hitchens


Reason

Ah, human reason,
ah how sweet it is...
how sweet is human reason.
This great wine of real love,
of real mortal honesty and real meaning, so proud to be.

CNN INTERVIEW with John Fitzpatrick

'John, why is it that you can attract so many hundreds of 'hits' from so many countries every second now? USA, Nigeria, Russia, China?'
 
'Well I guess it's just that it's the only World Bloke Blog Site that includes good quotes, for example, from Rex Mossop, Thomas Aquinas, and  WH Auden, whilst giving minute by minute football update scores, and tips for the World Cup, and insights into Human Mindfulness.
It's something that Australian and, indeed, World Men, have needed in their lives for so damn long, that's all. 
I remember, at 19, playing as the Sweeper for Manly Warringah soccer team, standing there just before kick-off, in a Zen meditational study, musing over the ramifications of the paradigm shift in Modern Australian Poetry caused by the movement of the Australia Council funding base from Balmain to Canberra...and, I guess, it's that kind of remarkable and unique capacity that makes the blog site so interesting, as a phenomenon, world wide now...
I'm not the only person who has ever had 'a moment of great philosophical clarity' whilst watching Rugby League...but I'm the only one who talks about it, as a way into Mindfulness, and the higher metaphysical planes on which we all play the game...some as Front Row Forwards, some of us as Hookers...It's all God, really...that's the thing...I mean, how long does Enlightenment last? Well, three and a half minutes. Everyone , I guess, knows that now, but no one is actually saying it in a Blog...I guess that's why the Turtle House blog is so important now. Twelve hundred dollars a second I guess means something...but it's basically about love."

one of the many curious things about the Volvo C30S is this:

When you open the door and get out, through some remarkable process known only to the car, the door slowly shuts behind you in 85% of all situations. I guess it's a weight/balance thing, but it is interesting.

Think about it. What other blog site gives you up to the minute football scores, and quotes from St Thomas Aquinas, Rex Mossop and WH Auden?

Think About It!

I miss Rex Mossop.
 
 
To Quote Rex Mossop...
 
 
"I'm sick of coming home every day, sitting down, turning on the TV, and having sexual organs shoved down my throat!"

Scary movie 2 first scene

for me
as a health professional, this excerpt pretty well sums up the offer made to me to work in a unit tonight...
...where the exorcist enters the girls room and sees her totally possessed, and turns away muttering...'oh fuck this......... I'm going home'. It's amazing how often Art resembles Life...
