Saints & Cyber Sinners This Christmas Morn

Saints & Cyber Sinners This Christmas Morn

Forget about who has been naughty or nice on this Christmas Morn!

From Thanksgiving on, you should be aware of who is preying on your gluttony and greedish stupidity!

Isidoro de Sevilla (José Alcoverro) 02
Oh, where for art is St. Isidore of Seville – Patron Saint of the Internet?

Yes, the man of knowledge who invented encyclopedias. Britannic rules and Wikipedia is so truthful!

The Order of St. Isidore of Seville is a chivalric order formed on January 1, 2000. An international organization, the order aims to honor Saint Isidore as the patron saint of the Internet, alongside promoting Christian chivalry online.

Wait for a cotton picking nano-second! 

Chivalry online? Then who is the patron saint of Hackers and Phisher?

St. Expedite -- the unofficial patron saint of Hackers & Phishers.

Unofficial, because the Roman Catholic Church doesn't know what to do about St. Expedite. He's too pagan to be a proper saint, and too popular for his statues to be simply tossed out the door.

Statues of St. Expedite seem to appear at some churches, a puzzling phenomenon. Where do the statues come from? Who sends them? No one really seems to know who St. Expedite was in a life or even if he ever existed.

But whatever St. Expedite may or may not be, geeks, hackers, phishers, a man in the middle brutal attackers, repentant slackers, folks who run e-commerce sites and those who rely on brains and sheer luck to survive have all claimed the saint as their own.


So as you go about your Cyber shopping, you are being watched over by those that fail to protect your financial information they have amassed on you and digitally pray they do not suffer from "Target Syndrome" by allowing the Hackers to steal what is rightfully yours.

On the other hand, Hackers & Phishers are preying with their Saint Expedite on your foolishly clicking of websites, with offers that are so not real, stealing all of your financial information and identity, sending you to that never-ending circle of failed customer service and banking nightmare.  They hoovering over Wi-Fi Hotspots, who the Internet Service Providers tell you are safe.  They tell telling "Pork Pies", little lies as any cockney will tell you.

So next time you hear the words at the supermarket checkout, "Paper Or Plastic", go for paper, with real money and the goods in front of you.

Happy Cyber Sunday, Monday and the rest of the buying and hacking days 'til Christmas.

This Year's Christmas…

This Year's Christmas…

No holly or mistletoe just spilled milk and a half-eaten mince pie…

There are people worse off, no roof over their head, limited clothing and no ‘real’ food in their bellies and having to deal with cold or wet weather does not make it any easier.

People are their own worst enemies, especially it seems those that are married or living together.  It is always words, opinions, and disbelief, yes, human nature at its best! 

I know the feeling and wish for all that 2019 is a far better year.

Socially the world is in disarray and getting worse day by day, argumentative, disagreement with overtones of silence that lead nowhere.

Individually, we all have problems, some greater than others and we cannot move in the same direction to resolve.  Walking away and starting anew is the only alternative.  Many will do this-this holiday season.

Some will end the misery by taking their own life and leave the world not knowing how it could have easily been solved.  You know thoughts like this have passed through each of our minds when times are that tragic and dire.

Starting all over again might seem difficult, you have to suck it up or cowboy up and move forward for you to be the winner. 

Is it really that bad?  From your perspective, yes! 

Others never see it that way, they only feel the positive, never your individual pain.

Communications are always the key, tomorrow is another day, and sadly it is always today…


Hope for 2019…
