  • Forgiveness is not what you do

    September 16, 2009

    • It took a lot of years and a lot of livin' before I realized that forgiveness isn't something you do. Forgiveness is all about what you don't do. You don't wake up and replay the argument when they hurt you, practicing better retorts. You don't think of what they did and said years ago to wound you, while you take a morning shower today. You don't remember, over breakfast, that you were abused ...

    •  Part 1As Billy-Joe sits early in the morning, unable to sleep because of a crime that was committed almost twenty-nine years ago.

  • My facebook account was hacked

    May 29, 2009

    • No sooner had I arrived home from Santa Fe than I learned my Facebook account had been hacked, hijacked, rudely taken over by some creepy alien mind.  Hackers need to get a life - wait, I forgot, this is their life.  But what was far worse was trying to close my Facebook account.  I tried to deactivate my account, I tried to delete my account - nothing seemed to work.  Those creepy alien ...

  • Man shot to death by Thirteen year old Boy

    December 10, 2008

    • A fifty year old man was shot to death in Dublin the other day and a thirteen year old boy was arrested.  Apparently the victim had been unable to tolerate anymore abuse from a group of youngsters who had gathered outside on the street and were throwing eggs and shouting abuse at his house.  I can imagine how incensed he must have been and decided to try and give the bullies a scare by running ...
