The Pasho Perspective

The Pasho Perspective

Ever feel like you're the only one who sees what's happening in the world? Ever feel frustrated over the appearance of the world's antipathy to its own demise? If so, do I have a podcast for you. At The Pasho Perspective, I strive to speak the truth. I strive to tell it as my heart feels it. I'm a Christian, married, father of three who likes to howl at the moon. I am ardently passionate about life and expect to cover all those things we find in the space between life and death. So please... turn up the volume, get comfortable, and join me. You can also support me and receive some merch from the podcast at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepashoperspective

The Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komnenos (reigned 1183–1185) and the island of Chios.

According to later Byzantine and post-Byzantine sources:

  • The island of Chios was suspected of disloyalty or resistance to imperial authority.
  • As collective punishment, Andronikos I allegedly ordered the mass castration of the island’s male population, particularly young boys.

When China became a communist country, they had to first attack "the four olds" : ideas, culture, customs, habits. I see the same things under attack in our country. This episode goes through it all. Let me know what you think!

Here is another poem for your collection:

"layover" 

Making love in the sun, in the morning sun
in a hotel room
above the alley
where poor men poke for bottles;
making love in the sun
making love by a carpet redder than our blood,
making love while the boys sell headlines
and Cadillacs,
making love by a photograph of Paris
and an open pack of Chesterfields,
making love w...

I really enjoy Bukowski: I hope you do too. Enjoy!

"the soldier, his wife, and the bum"

I was a bum in San Francisco but once managed

to go to a symphony concert along with the well-dressed people

and the music was good but something about the

audience was not

and something about the orchestra

and the conductor was

not,

although the building was fine and the

acoustics perfect

I preferred to listen to the music alone

This is one of my all time favorites to teach in my AP Lit and Comp class! As a father, it is almost impossible for me to read it and not tear up.

One day our boys will leave their homes and become men. That is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't mean it wont hurt a little when it happens. One day there will be no more stories, no more advice, no more wisdom for a father to give his son before he goes out into the g...

"Curiosity" by Alistair Reid (read by Pasho)

God bless. Pacho's Chachos for life! 

Curiosity

may have killed the cat; more likely
 the cat was just unlucky, or else curious
 to see what death was like, having no cause
 to go on licking paws, or fathering
 litter on litter of kittens, predictably.

 

Nevertheless, to be curious
 is dangerous enough. To distrust
 what is always said, wha...

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I read Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda. Enjoy! God bless. Pacho's Chachos for life!

"One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII"

By Pablo Neruda          Translated By Mark Eisner

I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,   

or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:   

I love you as one loves certain obscure things,   

secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

 

I love you a...

I was reading Romeo and Juliet's Act 1, Scene 2 with my students and was inspired by a simple soliloquy from a very minor character, a servant. He is portrayed (and referred to as a clown) by Shakespeare as an ignoramus. One of my students said he was stupid, but I had to correct him and discuss the difference between stupidity and ignorance, and why he was kept ignorant on purpose. This episode shares my perspec...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
