Rain, Rain, It Did Go Away

Last night it was raining buckets. And there was alot of wind with the storm last night as well. During improv rehearshal it looked like a hurricane out there. It was raining horizontally the wind was so bad. It actually was pretty cool looking.

But driving home last night was kind of a pain in the ass. Usually I zip home at 70 mph and get home pretty quick after rehearshal. But last night I couldn't go faster thatn 40 or 50 so I wouldn't hydroplane. It took me a bit to get home.

This morning however it is sunny and clear.

Well I'm sure I'll write more later. It's off to work for me.

Get The Paddle

It is raining like a bitch outside. Whew.

Hope everyone is dry. I'll post a longer entry tomorrow I'm sure.

Another Grade, Another Day

So I subbed in the Middle School today. There are aspects about the middle school I like and aspects... I don't.

I like that they are mature enough to understand sarcasism but aren't exactly insulted by it. Personally I think they consdier it as a compliment because you are treating them like adults. I've found that 6th, 7th, and 8th graders seem to understand this. Plus if you put them in their place, they're less likely to act at so not to loose face with the students around them.

However what I don't like about the middle school is that they are full of knowledge but absolutely have no wisdom. For example, one of the students I subbed for once said, "I don't need to learn this. When I turn 18 I'm going to go to Africa and live off the land."

While not exactly the best idea in the world given that there are many conflicts on that continent, I asked "How are you going to get there? You need a job to pay for the plane ticket."

"I'll take a horse."

See... knowledge. No wisdom.


But nevertheless, I had a good time today. I rarely let the kids frustrate me. I might frustrate them for refusing to let them do what they want to do. (Which between you and me is pretty fun.)

To tell you the truth the only thing that does frustrate me are the teachers. They get in my face sometimes when I don't follow procedure that changes by the year, floor, or even somtimes per classroom. My response to them is always :If it's this important, this important then it should be written down somewhere.

I probably rub some people the wrong way. But I keep getting called back so I'll keep going. It would be nice if less than 50% of the school population had a Emo Haircut.

Oh yeah.

Please post comments. I do oh so enjoy them :)

Dum Dum Daaaaaa!

So what is this?

Yet another blog! What witchcraft is this?

To tell you the truth, it always seem like every 3 months that I always manage to have a new blog. Why? I tend have to a sort attention span it seems. I guess I always find something new and exciting to play with.

First I had a Live Journal. Which seemed like that was something everyone had. But it's not exactly flashy... or interesting. I guess I just sort of lost interest with that as well.

Then I had an Xanga Journal... which again had some fun features to it, but again there were features to it I didn't really like.

After that there was Myspace.... which was just kind of crappy.

Then there was Yahoo 360. It's nice, but not exactly photo friendly. I still like it but the jury is out on it.

So now... I am at Blogger. Perhaps this will last longer and perhaps it won't. It all really depends on me I suppose. And if anyone reads it. No one really read any of the other ones to begin with but hey. I guess I just like to ramble.

So weeeeee... shall... see.
