1. Do you have a favorite piece of poetry or prose written by someone else? Care to share it?

I like Yeates, "turning and turning . . . the falcon cannot hear the falconer, etc."

I am absolutely nuts about King James Prose. I love to read the book of Job in KJV and also the book fo lamentations.

This guy and this guy love poetry, I think.

2. In High School, did you enjoy creative writing? Do you currently do any other writing in addition to your Blog?

I love creative writing, always did. And I do creating writing outside of my blog. I think I'm getting better.

3. Have you ever noticed that the Blog entries you least expect to get the most comments do, and those you expect to generate a lot of feedback don't? Which Blog entry of yours surprised you by getting a lot of comments? Which one did you think would generate a lot but didn't?

The post about Jesus being a clone of Mary created a ripple. The ones that didn't generate as much comment were posts on reparations for slavery. I got some but very few, which is actually what I preferred, I just thought I'd get an avalanche of hate mail or something.

4. Sometimes you get a chance to make a lifestyle change that has a huge impact on the course your life takes. That is, a moment where something became very clear to you, and that realization changed your life, such as: the need to leave a relationship, to stop an addiction, to bond with someone, to start a new career, and so on. Have you ever had an "awakening" moment in your life?

A few, for instance when I went from being anti-Catholic to deciding that I am going to be Catholic. Also when I decided that I wanted to get married and have children instead of being a priest. That happened after my friend at the time, my wife now, and I went to a couples' place for dinner. The absolute mayhem that ensued in getting the kids settled, preparing dinner, toys everywhere, etc, made me decided that this madness was the life I wanted.

5. Then there are other times where you can have a huge impact on someone else's life. You suggest they see a doctor, stop them from taking that last drink, or maybe just say some kind words at the moment. Have you made a lasting positive impact on the life of someone else?

I don't think so.

6. Are there any charities or organizations which you support? How did you come to be involved with them?

Catholic Relief Services, they do very fine work in places of the world that are not even on people's radar screen.

7. Care to collaborate with me? Help me out and write the rest of this poem:


I drifted though a dream last night,
visions full of colors bright.
My thoughts began to drift to you,
and in an instant we were two.


I touched your hand,
We began to blend,
Filled with a feeling
that should have no end.


Then a cloud of impending doom
Whispering a sensation of gloom
O thanatos, O house of death
I have sold my soul to knaves of Hell


BONUS: Hey cutie, what's up with this attitude?

Dude, I'm a guy that's what's up!!
