What papal name would YOU pick? [poll]

Writing up my short diary on Pope Francis brought out the sometimes startling variety of papal names. The last pope to use a new name was Lando (so you can see why Francis didn’t pick that one),  but if you go further back the names get even more surprising. Take the poll – which of these would you pick for yourself?

The Daily F Bomb, Thursday 3/14/13

Good morning Bombistas!  Sorry about all the difficult questions. You shouldn’t have forgotten to study! These will be on the test!

Interrogatories

If you could do a thorough “cleansing” of your present life, what would you discard (physical things such as possessions or mental things such as attitudes can apply)?

If you could create your own Heaven, what would it be like? Do you think wisdom comes with age? Do you think you see yourself as others do? What is your favorite body of water?

The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday, 3/13/13

Greetings and happy Wednesday, Bomberinos. Let me say that I loved everyone’s responses to yesterday’s nosy questions. Too bad work keeps me from hanging out and really getting into the discussion.

Interrogatories

What is your biggest regret in your life? Would you want to be immortal? If you were, what would you do with your time? If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you still be friends? (What do you mean, you never talk to yourself?) Here’s an old question: If you had one wish that could be granted in full, what would you wish for? If you suddenly had a huge financial windfall, what would you do with it?

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 3/12/13

Good morning, bombshells! Have you found that lost hour of sleep yet? Have some coffee, you know driving sleepy is just as bad as driving drunk, just less stigma.

Interrogatories

Who was the first President you voted for? Were you raised by Liberals or Conservatives? If the latter, where did they go wrong? 😉 What was the turning point where you realized that you had a different set of values? What was the first volunteer work you ever did? How many U.S. States have you visited?

The Daily F Bomb, Monday 3/11/13

Oh well, it had to happen. Another Monday rolls around. The worst of all Mondays, coming on the heels of that missing hour (did you know hours had heels?). Speaking of missing hours, I really need to get a new alarm clock that doesn’t automatically reset the time according to the 1986-2006 DST. But, if I do that, you know Congress will change it again.

Interrogatories

What once perfectly good words can you think of that have been ruined by media overuse and/or misuse?  What do you like to do to unwind and relax? When did you first start using the internet? How many real-life friends have you made online? If you haven’t met anyone in person that you met online, how do we all know that you aren’t really a dog?

They sang, they motivated and they mobilized

Movements for social change have always had people who with impassioned speeches have inspired their listeners to organize and fight for justice. But we should not forget that songs are another form of political speech and music has been a key factor in igniting and sustaining those who do battle daily to effectuate that change.

I would be remiss during Women’s History Month to fail to acknowledge those sisters of song who inspired me and countless others to march on to the next confrontation with injustice.


The Daily F Bomb, Sunday 3/10/13

Greetings, Bombaneros! I hope your Sunday is serene and relaxing. You know it’s a day of rest, so by all means, rest! (Note: eating and drinking ARE a form of rest, in case you were wondering.)

Interrogatories

What was your first favorite book as a child?  What was your first favorite non-children’s book? Do you still own any of these? Daylight Saving Time – for or against? Why? Pet owners – how many pets do you have, and what are they?

The Daily F Bomb, Saturday 3/9/13

Happy Saturday, Bombrewskis! I hope you are well on this fine sunny/rainy/snowy/foggy/none of the above morning.  Now, where is my coffee?

Interrogatories

If you could be painted by any famous artist in history, who would you choose? If you could be photographed by any famous photographer in history, who would you choose? What fictional character do you most identify with? If your life story was made into a movie, who do you think should play you? (Don’t limit yourself to living actors if your favorite is no more.)

The Daily F Bomb, Friday 3/8/13

Happy Friday, Bombadeiros!  How’s it hangin’?

My knees have already mostly recovered from my fall. I have a policy – if nothing pops or creaks, keep it moving. I kept moving after tripping, and my knees never got swollen and never stiffened up. I do workers’ comp for a living, and it seems to me the ones who suffer the longest are the ones who instantly go sedentary when they get injured. My wrist has improved range of motion, but I still need the brace I picked up yesterday (I had one at home, but the color was soooooo butt-ugly that I had to find an alternative).

Interrogatories

Let’s talk about ever-changing standards of beauty. Picking from any period in history, you just have to have seen pictures of the person or persons in question, who is the most beautiful woman you can think of, in your opinion? You don’t have to narrow it down to one if you can’t. How about the most beautiful/handsome man? What is your favorite number? Do you need a dark room to fall asleep in, or does it not matter? Are you an easy sleeper or do you suffer from insomnia? Do you prefer nights or mornings?
