my new Hexun blogger link
http://hexun.com/dragonclawnails
this is a blogger I use for accessing Chinese medicine. I am very interested in self healing and curing discomfort, discontent, and disappointment through Chinese medicine. I love the philosophy of the Chinese medicine and I think it is one of the greatest contributions Chinese civilization has made to the world.

About the Maley Surname and This Site
I am going to start a search for Phil's Father--Mr. Walter Lee O'malley. Of him he knows almost nothing except the name.
The Maley Surname
Irish Slovenian
Irish Maleys
Most Maleys are derived from the Irish (or Scotts/Irish) O Malley (O Maille - Melia) The O'Malleys are a very old Mayo family whose name is said to derive from the Celtic word for chief (maglios). For many centuries they were chieftains of the baronies of Burrishoole and Murrisk, where the sea was their chief occupation. One of the most remarkable women in Irish history, Grace O'Malley, known as Granuaile, was the daughter of the O'Malley chieftain Owen. As a mere 15 year old she was married to an O'Flaherty. When he was killed in battle she married a Burke. She frequently contended with the marauding English, both by land and by the sea from which she got her living. She was captured several times and was rescued from the gallows. In her old age, as a princess and equal, she visited Queen Elizabeth in London. With the breakdown of the ancient chieftaincies the O'Malleys disappeared abroad, Charles O'Malley and his five brothers gave their lives to a diversity of armies. It was said, none of his family were ever known to follow any trade or profession but arms, earning no fortune to replace what had been taken from them. The O'Malleys produced many high churchmen and one unorthodox priest, Thaddeus O'Malley, who was returned from America because of his progressive religious and political views. Ernest O'Malley, a veteran of the Civil War, wrote a vivid autobiography entitled On Another Man's Wound. Melia is sometimes found as a variant of O'Malley. Other derivatives include: O'Maley, Maley, Maly, Maily, and O'Maly.
Slovenian Maleys
At least one family of Maleys are Slovenian in origin, their name altered courtesy of the U.S. Immigration Service. These Maleys settled first in the Chicago, Illinois, USA area.

my friend JOhonny Tomass
snapshot of my friend Johnny Tomass
johnny is having some problem and he was sent to see Doc. Zhivago. He described himself as "a talented failure," which was mightily amusing to the doc. He took a more personal interest in Johnny who struck him as arrogant and defiant.
" What are your talents? And what's your failure?"
johnny has a way to speak smart. And soon he is throwing his qualifications as "the best amateur painter. The most genius imitator and the average professional. As to the area of his talents, he listed painting in fine art, guitar playing, and persuasive communication, which in a commonly used term-- the con art. What is your failure? Doc asks him--failure to fail in every way possible. I only fail in a few ways such as failing in eye sight, bowl movement every few days and stay in bed at night. Doc is amused by his flamboyant way of wearing his badges of "failures" as war decorations and at first interview detected him to be a happy "misfit"
on dreams----Nathanael West: Miss Lonelyhearts
Men have always fought their misery with dreams. Although dreams were once powerful, they have been made puerile by the movies, radio and newspapers. Among many betrayals, this one is the worst.
