Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

"I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't"
Okay, Labor Day weekend is upon us. Labor Day is the day we celebrate work by not doing any, which I personally love. Huey Lewis and the News singing Working for a Livin' is our traditio for today. Besides, it's a little more palatable than my St. Joseph the Worker traditio by the Dropkicks was to many, plus I am not feeling really imaginative today.

Walking on the streets its really all the same
selling souls, rock n' roll, any other day
