Why do I do this to myself?

 

 

This time around I was on Facebook for 6 days before I decided it was bad for me.  The idea that I wanted to go back on at all came about because some acquaintances of mine on Facebook were in the vicinity of some of the huge fires that have been burning.  Of course I used that as an excuse to go back onto social media, even though I had discovered through other means that they were fine and only one had been evacuated from his home.  

The Lord has long whispered to me in my heart that social media is not a good place for me, and Father Hezekias told me to my face the same thing, I ignored them both several times but I'm thinking this was the last time I'll do that.  As I said right after I went back on this time around, Facebook gives me the heebie-jeebies.  I tried Twitter for about an hour yesterday, I don't like that at all.  I am on Instagram but that's not really all that interactive and just a place to share pictures back and forth with the few people I know there, along with some pretty nice Orthodox memes from a few sources, so that's actually a good place for me, plus I never get into arguments there and never swear or curse and it's generally just pretty nice stuff.  So follow me on Instagram if you want, I'll follow you back. :-)  

So, to answer the question in the title, why do I do this to myself?  I do it because I'm not very wise about how I spend my time, because I love to make a stir and get reactions to my posts, because I want to prove to myself that I really exist and that people know I'm alive.  But to get on social media and post provocative things to get a reaction is foolishness and proves only that I can make a fuss and get people upset at me.  Heck, I can do that anywhere :-)

So, I'm going to just be here for a while again, and maybe post things a bit less negative.  

On that note, today is the commemoration of Saint Sophia and her daughters Faith, Hope and Charity (Love).  You can read the story of their martyrdom here. 

Saint Sophia, pray for us!

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
