The worst day in a Life.......

Ok......just a bit of a story....in bits and pieces, ADD style, and because this is a relatively PG-13 Website......it might be for the best...heh.

Without stating for the record "who" this happened to, although it Really happened, and without being too graphic, because it was Entirely too graphic.....a little, bitty story of a few days.....train of thought wise.

If you were here, you'd get the story with all the inappropriate gesturing, hand wringing and gesticulating that makes it a bit more memorable. Ladies, cover your eyes.....Man talk, don't you know.....heh

Costa Rica. A number of miles inland from the Pacific Coast. I..oops...this Man had been In Country in "another" Country for two weeks, the fun accomplished, and doing a solitary evac through Civvy channels......One and only one Gallon of Good water, as in Microbe free....an absolutely necessary bus ride full of Peons, one poor and miserable chap with a sick chicken in a box, needs water and decides to beg a sip of the Gallon.....compliance is deemed necessary. Pours the ENTIRE Gallon of potable water on the stupid "Pollo". It comes comes around and stands up and his Owner is quite happy.

The friggin' Gallon of Potable water is gone. It's Ninety degrees, easily One Hundred and Ninety percent humidity.......the well seemed like a good idea at the time.......

Owww, sleeping on the beach naked in a hammock, Moctezuma takes his Legendary Revenge.......Horrid cramps, the trots to the ocean, throwing up, wash face, .......mistake, turn around wash face......bigger mistake.....back to the hammock.....

Finally, after a few trips, a fitful sleep........the sound of footsteps, shocked awake, frightened......it's a friggin' huge iguana, aaaagh....almost shot the damm thing......back and forth to the ocean..........



Finally truly asleep, awaken to hear a weird and scary noise......... woosh sniff woosh, sniff............It's a Cow that is staring directly at the face....licking face.........Surrender to the inevitable?

No......hike, cramping, smelling, suffering.....alone....to the little coastal village. A Pharmaceria! A pill in the village, a visiting Doktor......It seemed half the size of the iguana from the night before. Choked it down with a swig of tequila......

That was when the pharmacist says that "No, Senor, it's a suppositorio, Eet goes een your Butt......."

Eeeew, as my love would say......Didn't go again for almost two weeks........But it worked almost immediately.....except....didn't go again for almost two weeks....

Made it home and life got back to "normal" after a bit.......the lady made an off handed remark that the storyteller had no a$$.........

He used to, but he seems to have lost it on a beach somewhere in Costa Rica.....aaaaahhhhhhhoooowww.

"I left my a$$......in Costa Rica........high on a hill, it calls to me......"

True story......I believe the feller who tells it......heh.

Goodnight, I have one more day and a wake up......I'll post occasionally if there's any interest. Hope to sleep on the beach a night or two.......

They don't have cows or iguanas......or sickly chickens, do they?
Love you guys.

*shoulda shot the damm chicken*

Another bit of rather silly Philosphy........


I am a Catholic. Not a "Good" Catholic, but rather more akin to the first two definitions that pop up in the Dictionary.......

cath·o·lic (kăth'ə-lĭk, kăth'lĭk)

adj.
1) Of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive: “The 100-odd pages of formulas and constants are surely the most catholic to be found” (Scientific American).

2) Including or concerning all humankind; universal: “what was of catholic rather than national interest” (J.A. Froude).

Wow.....deep without really trying, eh? My Father, the Sar'Major was a Catholic. My Mother was a "sorta" Catholic.......my Grandfather always impressed me as a Mystic.

"Religion" was never a major part of my life as a child.....excepting that....heh, my parents had Five children.......ANY....and I think I really mean ANY ....excuse to get the kids the heck out of the house.

I went, along with my Best Friend to Catachism class on Wednesday evenings.....then we waited outside on Sunday mornings for the Baptist Sunday School bus........confusing?

Hey, looking back on it, I kinda figure that was the only time Momma and the Sar'Major had to......uhhhh, well you know......uhhh....HEY, they had Five of us, and knowing me as you do, it by G-d wasn't Immaculate Conception.......

So.....where was I? Bookmark please? Oh Clap, let me read back....dumdumdumdum....OK, got it!!

I have claimed to be a "lapsed Catholic".....not the Truth at all, I would suppose that I am actually quite close to the main definitions of the "word" rather than the Religion.

I think that my going to Baptist Sunday school a few days after Catechism helped me to be more understand......"accepting"?... of other Religions....heck, in my High School days, I was attending the Church Services of the......oh, how shall we say....damm, I sound quite shallow......."The Girl o' the Month".

I went to Mass, Mass, Mass, Lutheran, Baptist, Mormon....oooh, she was "hot".....Mass, Mass, Evangelical....and even mixed in a Friends Bar Mitzvah or three.....never hit the Synagogue itself though...shame....but I didn't know any Girls that went.

So.....yes, I went back to see where I was.....no patch.......I have seen, and truly enjoyed , learning about many different Faiths....heh, and girls.......

What has always stuck with me is the Faith in One True G-d. No matter what. I don't "think", and I'm not self important to "think", that I have the answers....we will All know.......later.....

I end up going back to, and feeling comfortable with the things I learned from Grandfather and the Sar'Major. My Dad didn't....heck, Hasn't gone to Services of any kind in fifty years, claims he "gets" G-d every time he walks outside.

Grandfather spoke to Nature.....and it spoke back....as it only can to the Peskotomahkati, "People of the Dawn".......My basis, I suppose, is Christianity....I think J.C. had it going on.....but, I refuse to discount other things....

Does any of this make any sort of sense at all?

I'm obviously in a "mood". Not bad, mind you....just a "mood". I'm much to old to change my religion for a "girl" of the month.....heh, there will only be One more, but I'm in a decidedly faith investigating mood........mine, not yours.

Although....I guess I'm not All that Catholic. I do not care for the Muslim religion. I do not care for it at all.....

May G-d bless you. And yours, and Mine.....He has already blessed me.

Deus Vult.

Wollf Photograph......



Sheesh.....it's almost a friggin' photograph!!! Had this done while witing for Lil' Wolfie to finish his pizza at the WWE thing Saturday. I didn't want to do it, but Bear talked me into it.

Truly was a Daisy of a day.....

And Continue......ing?.......

Anyway......Lil' Wolfie and Wollf had an absolutely wondrous time. Notwithstanding the average IQ of most of our fellow "Believers".....

Lil'Wolfie played "Wrestler Trivia"....I'll have the picture of his success in a day or so......just knocked the socks off of the competition.....a "gang banger" wannabee and a fellow in his thirties that REALLY should think about moving out of his Mothers' basement........eeeeeewwww.

I paid absolutely no attention to the World today. My day with Lil' was still fresh on my mind....I slept fairly well, had dreams of far off places, and adventures yet to be realised.......

The She-cub is on my mind a bit, having received a phone call from her Economics teacher, saying that if she missed another class, she would not be walking with her Class during the High School Graduation ceremonies.....

Not a pleasant thought. I spoke with her mom, the X-P, and we agreed upon a course of action......I think. Her mom has agreed not to "kill" her, which I consider a good thing, and I have agreed to take away the keys to "The Jeep".

Folkes, the withholding of "The Jeep" is the most powerful deterrent known to high school children. Even, and possibility more so, because She is "Legally" an adult. Heh......no wheels....and better yet, no "Cool" wheels.

Maybe I'll drive it around a bit. Nah......chick magnet....don't need the confusion.

Anyways, She'll get it back, she'll graduate with her Class, and all will be rosey. We can only hope.

Lot of things on my mind as of late......I'm down to the financials regarding the divorce, the relationship "seems" cordial....I'll hope that it remains so. I need a bookkeeper....ADD, remember? I suck at record keeping. I keep them........want to see the suitcase? Aaaagh.

So.....yes, a Totally Wizard weekend...no patch, lots of emotion to fan the fires of my imagination......and I hop on a plane Friday....as in THIS Friday....to go on my Adventure.

D.....ammm, Nation....I am truly excited. Good nite my Friends.

WWE World Smackdown Tour.......


Wollf went on another Adventure today.......took Li' Wolfie and the bear to the World Smackdown Tour at Universal Studios in Hollywood. Wow, are my bone tuckered out.

Lil Wolfie pronounced it as an Eight on the Ten scale for Great times. Bear was a bit disappointed that there weren't any "lady" bears on hand. I'll expand this posting a bunch tomorrow morning.....should have some pretty good pictures done to add to the stories......it was really a Daisy of a day.

As an aside.....whooo-boy, the average IQ level of that crowd? Don't even ask. Talk to you in the morning.

Florida and Vacation beckon my Soul....

Al Sadr holding off on Armaggedon for another Six Months


Ok.....warning....one of Wolfie's VERY rare politicals...and I'm a bit concerned too.

Wollf-Line.....Baghdad:

"According to an order by Sayyid Muqtada, activities of the Mahdi Army will be suspended ... for another six month period," al-Sadr's aide Hazim al-Aaraji was quoted as saying.

He used the term "Sayyid", which is an "holy" title for al-Sadr during his sermon at a major mosque in Baghdad.

Al-Sadr's decision to stop senseless Murders, (Wollf's term....the MSM calls it a cease fire), for up to six months last August was widely credited with bringing the Iraqi death toll down more than 60 percent since it began.

The other piece of the puzzle is the surge of U.S. troops and use of Locals in the battle against Al Qaeda in Iraq........

Here's the deal with Al Sadr.....he's the little fat guy with the Black Turban, always shaking his fist at the evil Americans......

Remember the name of his "Mahdi Army"? Well, "Fat Dude in Bad Hat" is a Shi-ite.....yes, sounds amazingly like one of my curse words...for a reason. It is. And it's exactly what I think of these folks.

The Mahdi......that's Arabic for "divinely guided one"....is their version of Christianity's "Second Coming", or the Jewish Messiah who's supposed to straighten things out at the end of time.

Mahdi teams up with their prophet Isa, Islam's version of Jesus, and then brings about Heaven on Earth.

This all occurs kinda in the same time sequence as the "Revelation" stories.....Beast shows up as the Anti-Christ, gets a good G-d slapping, and we all move "joyously" on to the Final Judgement.

Muqtada al-Sadrin, in his role as "divine cleric", the "Shi-ite-head" followers believe him to be an infallible Imam, or "teacher", claims that the Madhi is back and that America knows it.

More interestingly, al-Sadr has repeatedly claimed that the real goal of the Iraq invasion was for U.S. Forces to capture and kill the Mahdi, and thus destroy Islam.

The Mahdi Army wants to fight. It is their belief that they "must", in order to hurry the appearance of Allah's kingdom on Earth.

Sound like an Indiana Jones sequel to you?

Another quickie lesson in Religion from Wollfie..... The two major Religio-Political factions in Iraq? Sunnis.....the "less evil" one, use the term Imam for just about anybody that leads a "sermon" in their mosque. Shi-ites believe that an Imam is that "infallible", "divine" fellow that I referred to above.

Hard time telling the two apart? Use Wollf's simple method of Enemy Identification...just like it sounds.....Sunni = "Sunny", as in maybe you'll live to see another sunrise. Shi-ite....heh, you get the drift on their disposition.

Bottom line to my unease today is that this little fat rat ba$tard weilds entirely too much power for the good of the World. His Mahdi thugs are murderers and worse yet, psychopatic murderers who believe it is their duty to bring about Armaggedon.

And the Main Stream Media is extolling this little pus-pocket, bad bearded, puke as the "Hero of the Day". He's asking his "army" not to kill anyone for another six months. Hoo friggin' Ray.

I am a hero too, I suppose. I've decided not to rob any convenience stores for a few months.

Eff him. He is a Bad Guy. Step on him like a Palmetto Bug before he becomes a friggin' Head of State and our Laws preclude his assasination.

Simply put.....They want us.....dead. Or converted. I know that in my case, that would mean dead. I'd write more, and become even more incensed.....but I keep getting e-mails that warm my feet.

Or is that Heart? Damm, I get so confused.

Thanks for listening....to Islamic End Times, the Condensed, Wollfie Version. Next week we'll try the Book of Ezekiel.......
