THE HENWATCH BLOG

                                                                   My lack of activity yesterday and today is unfortunate , but I am hosting and entertaining two little puppies called Zoe & Alannah who just happen to be my grand-daughters . So as you can imagine , trying to get some free time is just pointless , anyway I wouldn't have it any other way .                                                                    Storytime last night was a hoot , just more of an active imagination that I tend to exercise when these two particular squirrels come to visit . There will be more stories to tell tonight , and I am really looking forward to it . I ...

                                                                       I was born , free from religion , free from any racial hatred or bias that we all know of too well . I was also born in Dublin , Ireland , a staunch catholic country , known for its spreading of the faith throughout the world . I was born with the innocence and purity of every baby born to every mother that ever conceived . Just like you all I was christened ,and if you were born into a catholic family like I was you will understand the traditions and the religious expectations of being catholic . As you got a little older you were confirmed in another very religious ceremony . These are the trappings of growing up as a young catholic child in Ireland .                         ...

Just Thought it was a Nice Pic !                                                                      Here we are , and its Saturday evening , the night before Easter Sunday . And I haven't got a thing done . I haven't had my hair clipped , I haven't had my monthly manicure and pedicure , and I feel lost . Lost in the sense that these things will have to stop being so important in my life . Its doing my wife's head in . Especially the fact that I have more manicures/pedicures than she has . This form of self gratification is going to have to stop . Its costing me a small fortune . And I wouldn't mind so much , but a good friend of mine has her own exclusive salon called Enhance Beauty Clinic in Ballyfermot . Its a bit far away for me to frequent , but she is the best in the business . This is for you Sandra . ...

                                                                     Earlier on today I had a conversation with a certain Mr. J Berkowitz on facebook . The conversation was basically about someone else's feelings of despair because of the situation in the world with regard to the lack of understanding , the lack of love , and how every opinion with regard to the same was hate filled especially with people's attitudes toward Israel  . And this left the lady who was so full of despair , unhappy and she asked why this sort of thing was even happening in the first place . I would describe her feelings as being maybe a little naive , but I understood her concern .                                           ...

                                                                      Today I have just found out what has failed me miserably in understanding what it was that was happening to my body just before I fell off to sleep at night . I don't know if you have had similar experiences , but just before I would fall off to sleep my body would jump and jerk in the bed for some unknown reason . And today I was reliably informed what was actually happening to me .                                                                      Seemingly , just as you are about to drop off your mind is of the understanding that your body is ready to move over in to ...

Its all you're both deserving of . The Simpsons !                                                                         Last night I took a rest from my usual blogging responsibilities , but found myself so disappointed that I kinda felt a little guilty today . Don't get me wrong , but talking to others about this and that does wonders for my conversational skills . Before starting this journey , I wouldn't give you the time of day . Not because I was rude or anything , it was simply because those conversational skills hadn't been used loosely in a very long time . Now I am feeling guilty over not using them , you really can't win can you ? Anyway ....................................                                   ...

                                                                             Normally I don't have the time to do this . But today surprisingly , I had the time to just sit with myself and have a pretty varied discussion about me and my pretty little idiosyncrasies . As I said I don't usually set aside time for self exploration , but today , yes today was a little different . It was different in so many ways , that to explain it could never give you a feeling of understanding . I was like Alice sliding down that hole , and emerging in a place so surreal , so short of anything that looked or felt recognizable or comfortable even . I could have been on another planet for all I knew . This self examination was definitely getting to me .                 ...
