This is probably the BEST Office fan vid I have ever seen! Brilliant! Watch it!
As you can tell by various pictures and statements on this page, I'm full of love. Joking.
I've spent 10 years (many of which were crazy stressful) as a newspaper reporter. About 8 years into the job, this is how I began to feel:
Sooooo, I decided to give up the job and move back to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area to focus on earning a Master of Arts degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville's distance graduate program. I now have a Catholic job. I love being Catholic and hope to finish the rest of my career serving the Church. I also like rooting for NOTRE DAME, Jeff Gordon (the best NASCAR has ever seen), the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Pioneers and the 49ers.

"Just Say No" to relativism. It's bad for the soul. That's coming from someone who, unfortunately, has been there, but it's a lifestyle to which I'll never return. Sadly, relativism runs rampant today.
So, what's relativism? Pope Benedict XVI explains it: "We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires."
Why I'm Catholic
APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again and sitteth at the right hand of the Father, From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church , the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen

I dislike: Attempts to water down this great Catholic faith. There are plenty of so-called Catholics pretty much everywhere, including in Congress, who try to do this. Hint, hint Mrs. House Speaker. I also dislike MTV, Michigan, USC, WVU, and the show Ugly Betty.

Notre Dame Our Mother (Alma Mater)
Notre Dame, Our Mother, tender strong and true.
Proudly in the heavens, gleams thy gold and blue.
Glory’s Mantle cloaks thee, golden is thy fame.
And our hearts forever, praise thee, Notre Dame
And our hearts forever, LOVE THEE, NOTRE DAME.
"For God did not call us to impurity but to holiness. Therefore, whoever disregards this, disregards not a human being but God, who (also) gives his holy Spirit to you."
(1 Thessalonians 4,7-8)
I'd like to meet:
Pope Benedict XVI
Thank God for the Pope!

I also like Skillet, the hometown band - Breaking Benjamin, Relient K, MercyMe, Bing Crosby, Michael Buble, KISS, R.E.M. (the music, not the politics), U2, hair bands, etc.
Thank you, Jesus.

"It’s even more depressing because the character in question is played by my former associate, Steve Carell. I am dissapointed in you, Steve! ... He has really turned his back on the news. You used to be a good reporter.†-- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Dwight Schrute:
Books:
The Perfect Joy of St. Francis, Deus Caritas Est (God is Love) encyclical by Pope Bendict XVI, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, The Confessions of St. Augustine ... several others. I don't read much fiction. Most of it, especially these days, I find to be crap on paper. But, I do like Shakespeare. I'm also a big fan of Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope.
Heroes:
Jesus, the saints
