Joke of the Week

Redneck at the Bar A bartender was washing glasses one afternoon when an elderly Irishman came in. With great difficulty, the Irishman hoisted his bad leg over the barstool, pulled himself up painfully, and asked for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looked down the bar and said, "Is that Jesus down there?" The bartender nodded, so the Irishman told him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey, too. The next patron to come in was an ailing Italian with a hunched back, who moved very slowly. He shuffled up to the barstool and asked for a glass of Chianti. He also looked down the bar and asked if that was Jesus sitting at the end of the bar. The bartender nodded, so the Italian said to give Him a glass of Chianti, too. The third patron to enter the bar was a redneck, who swaggered into the bar and hollered, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one! Hey, is that God's Boy down there?" The barkeep nodded, so the redneck told him to give Jesus a cold one, too. As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman felt the strength come back to his leg, so he got up and danced a jig out the door. Jesus touched the Italian and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands above his head and did a flip out the door. Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back and exclaimed, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability!"

Hello again...haven't written in a while, but the first week back at school was a little less than fun (not that I was expecting to have a blast).  I'm also missing Kirs n' Anna (and Mary T., since I only seem to see her when I see them!).  I did make enough money to get an account started for my trip next year, and that's a definite plus.
Oh wait...today was good, though.  My mom came into my room at 6:00am (don't you miss that kind of thing, Kirs?) and woke me up.  I was wondering what she was doing when I looked at my clock, but she said, "No, don't worry!  I was just going to tell you that you can turn your alarm off--school's called off for snow."  Ahhh.  Beautiful words.  That's one thing the Floridians must miss.  So today I slept in until 9:00am...don't laugh, I have this accursed body clock that never lets me sleep past nine o'clock...but it was much, much better than the usual 6:20.  I just hope they don't make us do a make-up day later on...we have about 3-4 Mondays off this semester, and no one'll be happy if they decide we need the catch-up.
Do you all ever dream?  I've been having the strangest dreams--like I'm trapped in a LOTRish or Harry Potteresque type story.  I could actually write novels based on them; they generally have interesting plot lines.  They're much better than anything I could come up with while awake.  How odd.  Maybe I'll eventually write one down purely to annoy you, but I'll wait until I have a really good one.

Joke of the Week

A blonde was standing in front of a coke machine she put in 50 cents and a coke came out. She set it on top of the coke machine. Put in 50 more cents pushed the button and another coke came out.

She kept doing this untill a guy standing behind her said, " Excuse me, can I get my coke and then you can go back to whatever you're doing?"

The blonde turns around and says, " Like, duh!  Not when I am winning!!!"

Joke of the Week (In honor of Mary Theresa Ware)


A woman starts dating a married doctor. Before too long, she becomes pregnant and they don't know what to do. About nine months later, just about the time she is going to give birth, a priest goes into the hospital for a prostate gland infection.

The doctor says to the woman, "I know what we'll do. After I've operated on the priest, I'll give the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle."

"Do you really think it will work?" she asks the doctor.

"It's worth a try," he says. So the doctor delivers the baby and then operates on the priest. After the operation he goes in to the priest and says, "Father, you're not going to believe this."

"What?" says the priest. "What happened?"

"You gave birth to a child."

"But that's impossible!"

"I just did the operation," insists the doctor. "It's a miracle! Here's your baby."

About fifteen years go by, and the priest realizes that he must tell his son the truth. One day he sits the boy down and says, "Son, I have something to tell you. I'm not your father."

The son says, "What do you mean, you're not my father?"

The priest replies, "I'm your mother. The archbishop is your father."

Welcome


     Hey...I'll begin by saying that I was born in the wrong place and at the wrong time.  There's a C.S. Lewis quote that I greatly sympathize with:
"I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most profitable explanation being that I was made for another world."
     How true and how unfortunate.  Lewis must have known what that world was, I and think I do as well.  In any case, it'll be a while (God willing) til I'm there, so I might as well get a move on and do something useful in the here and now.  Right now I'm working on a rather large oil painting of an English manor called "Wakehurst Place".  I'm using several photographs I took last summer when I was staying in Southeast England.  It is the largest paint I've ever attempted at 30 inches by 40 inches...that, I gather, explains why it is taking an unprecedented amount of time to finish.  No hurry, though.

Hey all...I won't bother with the usual enlightening biographical data unless (for some odd reason) more than 4 people visit this site. It's generally better to keep people guessing, anyway. I probably won't put on entries unless they're worthwhile...a highly amusing joke, for example. Or I may even do an occasional entry in French, just to throw you for a loop. Unless, bien sur, tu parles ou sais un peu de Francais. I also might post links to scannings of drawings/paintings I've done if and when I eventually buy a scanner. I will say that I'm a high school junior, and that I'll graduate in December. Next year (during the 2nd semester) I'm planning to live in London for a few months and use it as a traveling base; from there I'll take trips to other parts of the British Isles and to the mainland. After this I should have enough photographs and drawings to be getting on with. I'll be busy all summer afterwords...
