After a small hiatus, I've returned back to Driscoll's book. Don't worry, it wasn't that it was so bad I had to take a break...I was finishing off the quarter.

Chapter 5 - Jesus, Why am I Getting Fatter and Meaner...

Well Mark, you are getting fatter and meaner because you are very driven, and also a control freak. Thankfully Driscoll admits this in his book, and though I'm not a fan, I have come to appreciate his consistent reflection on life and the willingness to admit when he finds himself in the wrong.

Driscoll shoots from the mouth, shotgun or even bazooka style and either thinks later, or maybe not even that. He is brash and because of that he makes many admitted mistakes.

He is hard-nosed and hyper-masculine, but he has an uncanny ambition that few have in the Church. I have to respect him for it.

This chapter was much more of a confession than the others. Of course, riddled throughout is the "heterosexual males" comments and effeminate men comment. I would probably be considered one of those sissy-men...probably because I crochet, I don't mind a romantic comedy and I cry...but maybe my saving grace is that I love Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Decent chapter...come to expect anything I'd get mad at, so now that I'm used to it I don't let it effect me as much.
