America

An American Citizen I Perhaps it was because I was no longer aching for her, no longer looking like a mug, hoping for a change of heart, that Stephanie and I started to get along.  I was suddenly less needy.  What had i been thinking!  As I wrote in the last blog:  - http://jw-alifeofsurprises.blogspot.com/#!/2011/12/loves-labours-lost-or-played-for-sucker.html, I had been shat on from a great height, by a girl who was on the rebound.  Little old homesick Jonny had been a perfect boyfriend...Read Full Story

Dear Reader(s) I have added some more pictures to earlier blogs, as when I started this journey, they were in crates in storage.  I still have some more to trace as well, that may help illuminate further blogs........  None the less, these pictures are now in their appropriate place..  I have published them here under one blog, (as well as under each individual blog they belong in), to save the seasoned reader the trial (ordeal) or enjoyment of re-reading the updated blog.  So (drum roll) in...Read Full Story

Texas BurningSomeone asked me last year if I thought it was too late to save America as a nation and turn its path back to the original intent of the   Bible believing  founders of America as  set forth in Declaration of Independence from which  the Constitution was patterned after.My reply was and still is yes. America has now gone down the path of sin with no return and I believe now America is entering into the time, or season, for the antichrist to be revealed. I cannot say how much...Read Full Story

I post everyday there.It is sad because when a Blog...Read Full Story

Ever since I first came to America more than 20 years ago, I was already impressed by what I saw. But the one thing I didn't like to hear was when an American asked if we Filipinos were perceived as people living in jungles. I did take offense in that, and even if I thought of the white foreigners as living in a developed society where they were high up there like monkeys on trees, from my point of view of looking up like cave people, all I could see were assholes. But I am not getting into...Read Full Story
