    if this post is legit. call an ambulance.

    in case you haven’t figured already, i tend to exaggerate. i am not well, but i’m not that unwell. (…double negative…?) at least i haven’t coughed up blood, so i’ve got that going for me at any rate, even if it feels like i ought to be.

    theholyprepuce: The “Execution” of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by militiamen at Cerro de los Ángeles near Madrid, on 7 August 1936.   This was symbolic retaliation for the Church’s considerable political role in the Spanish Civil War and reaction to the Church’s systematic oppression of Spaniards. Since the time of the Spanish Inquisition, the Catholic Church had used questionable means to accumulate vast landholdings and a firm grip on Spanish politics.  Primarily because of abuses by the clergy and Church hierarchy, only 30% of Spaniards were practicing Catholics.  In order to break the control the Church had over Spanish affairs, the 1931 constitution removed any special Catholic rights and separated Church and State.  Priests were no longer paid by the state. Their salaries now came out of the Roman Catholic Church’s purse.  Jesuits – prone to meddle in state affairs - were expelled from Spain.  The constitution introduced female suffrage, civil marriage and divorce and religious education in schools was stopped, and free, obligatory, secular education for all was introduced.    A new right wing party, dedicated to protecting the authority of the Roman Catholic Church was soon formed and a crusade against the republic was proclaimed.  Between 1936 and 1939 Spain was plunged into a civil war that claimed the lives of half a million people. The Catholic heirachy played a major role in the rise of General Francisco Franco who seized power in a military coup in 1936.  He ruled Spain under a Catholic authoritarian dictatorship until his death in 1975.  During this grim period 114,266 people “disappeared” and Spain lost most of its intelligentsia. Immediately after seizing power, and to enforce “traditional family values”, Franco reversed the constitutional changes.  The Catholic Church was again upheld as the established church of the Spanish State, and regained many of the traditional privileges it had lost under the Republic.  Civil servants had to be Catholic, civil marriages which had taken place under Republican Spain were declared null and void and progressive laws passed by the Republic aimed at equality between the sexes were made void.  Women could not become judges, or testify in trial.  They could not become university professors. Their affairs and economy had to be managed by their father or by their husbands.  Even in the 1970s a woman fleeing from an abusive husband could be arrested and imprisoned for “abandoning the home” (abandono del hogar). Until the 1970s a woman could not have a bank account without a co-sign by her father or husband.

    Um…this is um…well actually I don’t mind going to weddings or anything, as long as there not my own I show up. But I’ve always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking myself out, you know? Oh yeah, you call yourself up too huh? Yeah, well one thing about it, your always around.Yeah I know, yeah you ask yourself out, you know, some class joint somewhere. The Burrito King or something, you know. Well I ain’t cheap you know. Take yourself out for a couple of drinks maybe. Then there’d be some provocative conversation on the way home. Park in front of the house you know.Oh yeah, you smoothly put a little nice music on, maybe you put on like uh, you know, like shopping music, something thats not too interruptive you know and then uh slide over real nice and say ‘Oh I think you have something in your eye’.Well maybe it’s not that romantic with you but Christ I don’t know, you know I get into it you know.Take myself up to the porch, take myself inside or maybe uh, or may get a little something, a brandy snifter or something. ‘Would like you like to listen to some of my back records? I got something here’…Uh Well usually about 2.30 in the morning you’ve ended up taking advantage of yourself. There ain’t no way around that you know. Yeah, making a scene with a magazine, there ain’t no way around. I’ll confess you know, I’m no different you know. I’m not weird about it or anything, I don’t tie myself up first.

    I just kinda spend a little time with myself.

    wine-loving-vagabond: theholyprepuce: White Jesus modeled on Cesare Borgia? The theory is that people were generally not too enthusiastic about the Catholic Church’s regular massacres of Jews and Crusades against Muslims, because the people they were killing looked like Jesus.  Pope Alexander VI then ordered the destruction of all art depicting a Semitic Jesus and commissioned a number of paintings depicting a Caucasian Jesus.  His son, Cardinal Cesare Borgia, was the model for these paintings.  Thus, the nastiest of all the Borgias, became the iconic Caucasian Jesus so loved by Christians today.  In 1995, GZA’s Liquid Swords album featured the solo track by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate, Killah Priest, ”B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)”. The lyrics include the lines; “I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam, The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia” hmmmm
