Sometimes I hate my job

Sometimes I hate my job. And every time that I do, every time I feel Mr Burns saying "Don't forget you are here forever", I remember why there are no pictures of Maggie in the Simpson's album.


And I just move on.

Father Pete

Our church -an old fashioned Roman Catholic church from the suburbs- used to have two priests, Father Abe and Father Pete. Father Abe was as boring as a Miami Vice re-run, despite of the fact that he was sort of screwed up, delusional, quite a piece of work, the poor fellow. On the other hand, Father Pete was fun, down to earth, great preacher, witty and open minded.

The contrast was so huge that I came to a point when I was only attending mass if Father Pete was celebrating. The actual reasons why I never went back to church are worth a hundred posts. Point is I haven’t heard from Pete for a few years until today.

While returning home from work, I saw his face. At the post office.

In a “Wanted” poster.

For child molesting.

Haven’t been so pissed off in years.

Scenes from a hat

Phrases you could use to describe a TRUCK, but not your girlfriend: "Wow! You could fit FOUR in there!"

Klingon love

"We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought I'd marry? She is a prideful, arrogant, mercurial woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle, our desire for glory and honour above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with? Honour gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart."

Let me introduce myself

My name is Lester Burnham. Look at me, jerking off in the shower... This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
