  1. Every year in June I give the kids this sweet review packet, it has all the years notes condensed into like 20 pages, all they have to do is read it and memorize as much as they can, and they have two weeks to the final exam, so they have plenty of time to read it. so I give it out today and I tell everyone we're starting review and all they have to do is behave and pay attention and they'll do well, and if they do anything to annoy me they're losing the review packet and have to figure it out on their own. So everything is going pretty well until the middle of the day this one kid starts talking to his friends and playing on his phone and just being an outright dope about things. I mean I'm up here trying to help you I know you don't give a fuck about my class and that's fine, I don't care, except that you have to pass it to graduate, so maybe you should consider paying attention, so I took the review packet away from him and told him he's not getting it back because he wasn't behaving, and after that he just kept acting like a 2 year old. I mean what the fuck? How nice can I be and he still acts disrespectful?
  2. I confess I've worked with teenagers for 6 years now and I still don't understand the ridiculous things they do.
  3. I confess the HS I went to has an opening for an assistant principal and this got me to thinking...
  4. I confess sweating profusely beats the hell out of freezing my ass off. Welcome, summer weather!
  5. changing the tuning is such a pain in the ass, so much it keeps me from playing a lot of the songs I want to play. I seriously need another guitar that I just keep tuned for certain songs.
  6. One of my kids was out sick the past three days, she comes in today and she says she has something for me that she'll give me tomorrow, so I was like is it the work you need to catch up on? She said that too, but besides that, while she was sick her mom got her a copy of the Cosmo and gave it to her to read while she was in bed sick and she said she'd give it to me tomorrow. That's pretty fucking awesome. Some of my kids are actually damned cool!
  7. I confess I was nervous as shit for my observation today, but the kids were good and the boss said it went well, so I'm happy about that. I also confess I'm fucking PISSED because I forgot to put my parking permit on my dashboard this morning and I got a motherfucking ticket.
  8. It's true, K8 is Great (little bouncing souls props there) but Pippa is just wild, she must be fun to drink with.
  9. A couple of weeks ago, my wife says she wants to see Bon Jovi and she's looking for last minute tickets on craigslist. not to sound old or anything, but I kind of like a few Bon Jovi songs, but I totally didn't want to go A because I'm not a huge fan, and B because I was fucking exhausted that night. anyway, she gets two tickets and says she's going to go with her friend which is cool with me. we go out to dinner and while we're there, the guy calls says he doesn't have the tickets, so she's really upset. We get home she goes back on craigslist finds 2 tickets for half what she was going to pay the first guy, buys them, goes to pick up her friend who says she can't go anymore. so she gets home and says her friend couldn't go, so I say I'll go with her. It was pretty good, but god almighty this Bon Jovi is so incredibly full of himself, it's not even funny.
  10. I confess I'm tired of the public bitching me out all the time. I do a great job with what I have to work with, so fucking accept it.
  11. Seriously hard question when I start thinking about all the bands I loved growing up... In no particular order: Bouncing Souls, Dave Matthews Band, VersaEmerge, Paramore, Taylor Swift, Smashing Pumpkins, The Clash, Jimmy Buffett, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Live My musical tastes are all over the map.
  12. Yes, the USA is guilty of a lot of stuff that "terrorizes" other people, if you want to use that term, though I would suggest that certain things were only done in response to direct attacks at America or American allies. Dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan, for example, qualifies as an ultra-extreme response to an extreme direct attack. Could we have handled Japan in a manner differently than using the two bombs? Possibly, but we didn't and it is what it is. Really, the biggest problem is that we started to ignore the words of George Washington is his farewell address almost immediately, starting with the Monroe Doctrine, and decided that international involvement was in our best interest as a nation, when in fact it wasn't. We became so dependent on goods and raw materials from other countries and we became so dizzyingly scared of other government methods like Communism that we felt the need to go ahead and befriend certain people in united opposition against other people. It wasn't because they were friends though, it was just because we had common interests. Once the common interest doesn't exist as a threat to America anymore, we're not friends anymore. Remember: America armed and trained both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden in the Reagan years because we had common enemies: Iran to Iraq and the USSR to Afghan fighters. Then, Reagan, in a blur of Alzheimer's confusion (or total stupidity) decides to trade weapons to the Iranians in exchange for the release of the hostages, so suddenly we were fraternizing with a known terrorist harboring nation against our so-called friends and getting ass-deep into the Middle East in a way that we didn't need to be. Suddenly, we have enemies all over the region, troops all over the region, and Bin Laden wondering why the fuck we're over there occupying Saudi Arabia and hanging out in the region 24/7. When all of this hate directed at America could be avoided just by going back to a philosophy of isolationism. But as Americans, we simply won't do that because we simply can't do that. So, now we have to be on full alert, watching our backs very carefully, and although I consider myself a pacifist, and I disagree vehemently with a lot of America's foreign policies, I still don't want some terrorist coming after me even if (and especially if) they're just coming after me as a form of aggression against a government that misstepped every step of the way when it came to Middle East policies, with no regard for the safety of their citizens. If Bin Laden had walked up to my front door and I had the chance, I would have bashed his brains in with a baseball bat and left him for dead because he was a danger to my safety and the safety of my family and friends.
  13. How can I say this in an unoffensive way.... Bin Laden was to America as Adolf Hitler was to the Jews. Public enemy #1 and more. He was a sub-human piece of shit who deserved way worse than what he got. And he was a pussy ass motherfucker to boot. While he's encouraging young Muslims to go and kill themselves in the name of Jihad, what was he doing? Being a fucking asswipe hiding out in a million dollar mansion built specifically to house and protect him in Pakistan, and don't tell me Pakistan didn't know all about it. This douchebag wouldn't blow himself up in the name of Islam, he would have impressionable young people do it for him. He was a mass murderer and a cowardly piece of scum. To make it worse, he made life miserable for all the peaceful Muslims who actually practice their religion as it's taught, not as it's bastardized by radicals. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm about as Democrat as Democrats come. I'm in favor of giving the poor and middle class a fair shake and telling the upper class to go screw and pay their fair share. I'm also in favor of peace and totally against war unless absolutely necessary, but when someone sends people into my neighborhood to start shit, I want them taken care of by people entrusted to protect the neighborhood. On September 11th, these douchenoggings came into my state and wreaked havoc that haunts us to this day. Not Saddam Hussein, he was an innocent victim in all of this, but Bin Laden and his ilk, they get what they deserve. I just wish his death was more gruesome, to match the gruesome and untimely deaths of all those who were taken too soon when they were just going to work and trying to make a living.
  14. I vividly remember where I was on 9/11. I have a very foggy memory of where I was when I found out Bin Laden was killed as it was 5:30 AM and I was still half asleep. There's a couple of things that piss me off about this. Number one being I really want to see the pictures and videos as proof and that this isn't some sort of bullshit hoax, but putting my cynicism aside, I'm pissed off that Obama only saw a 9 point approval bounce from this. The man has had the best week of his presidency and he only gets 9 points from Obama Bin Swimmin' being killed? Are you fucking kidding me? This minimal bounce confirms that there are millions of people out there who couldn't give a flying fuck if he put a billion dollars in their pockets tomorrow, they'd hate him just because he's him. This country is so goddam polarized it's sickening.
  15. I didn't watch, but Kate is beautiful and William is balder than me, which cracks me up because he's a year younger than I am. Harry is an ugly SOB though, he looks like fucking Alfred E. Neuman on LSD. I hope William treats Catherine better than his asshole father treated Diana. Prince Charles borders on being a total douchebag.
  16. I confess I've been sick during all 3 major vacations this year, and if I'm sick at all during summer vacation I'll be epically fucking pissed.
  17. haha Sierra and Blake are doing a ustream chat, and as usual when I join in on these things, I'm getting no responses, no nothing. so Blake asks what they should cover and I was like hmm, great opportunity to get a response. I'll say something so off the wall, they'll have to respond. so I asked if they could cover Sinatra hahaha, sure enough Sierra starts singing Fly Me To The Moon, it was fucking classic! She does a great Ol' Blue Eyes.
  18. Easy... my favorite Paramore song is Never Let This Go because it's the first Paramore song I ever heard and the rest is history
  19. hmmmm hauling to Scranton on my birthday to see Paramore at Warped Tour... very very tempting.
