Like many, I have been closely monitoring the news about the Boston Marathon bombing and the ensuing manhunt. As I write this, one of the two bomb brothers has been killed and the other is on the run somewhere in or near Watertown, MA just outside Boston. People in the area are hunkered down, public…

Popes Can’t Quit, Can They?
Well, I guess this was a surprise to a lot of people. The media has been rife with unseemly stories about the Papacy over the last several months. First there was the mafia money laundering scheme involving the Vatican Bank. Although the bank reports “directly to the Pope,” the bank director took the heat and…
“A Few Odds & Ends”
Solar Schenanigans This is a very interesting video. Somehow a large sphere showed up next to the sun right in the middle of a solar prominence. How did this happen? No one knows. Gilhad Atzmon Last night I had the honor of attending a powerful talk by author-activist and musician, Gilhad Atzmon at the Peace…
Ten Months And Counting
Wow, I can’t believe its been ten months since my last post and these are my sins… Whoops, I slipped into my Catholic indoctrination there for a minute (yes, it really is called Catholic Doctrine). Seriously, it has really been a long and very eventful time since I last posted to this blog. I knew…

What To Do?
A very interesting thing happened today that tested my commitment to being who I say that I am and what I believe in. But let me back up a little and explain. Here at the occupation in Washington, D.C., there have been a series of disagreements and arguments. Although most people believe in the principles…
You May Not Like Me For This
At the risk of alienating my liberal, progressive and occupy friends and associates, I have a confession to make. In 2009, I almost joined the Tea Party. Well, at least I was considering it. I was attracted to their desire to reign in the power of the federal government and restore our rights which they…
It’s A New Day!
Well, here I am, finally writing my blog! I have been wanting to create a blog site for a long time. Oh, I have created other avenues of internet expression. I have three pages on Face Book: one is my personal page, one is the Hearts Of Fire Project and one is for my music….
