Yay for A Dozen Furies who won the Ozzfest competition. They put it all on the line for their music by quitting their jobs and the hard work paid off!

I've become hooked on the Battle for Ozzfest on MTV. I like the two bands in the final. I think the lead singer from Cynder has a great powerful voice, but overall A Dozen Furies is the better band. Vote for A Dozen Furies!!..and they are all good looking boys.

Waaaaaaaaaaah! I don't want my holiday break to end! Must go back to school tomorrow and teach hyper third graders who are probably all sugared up from X-mas! I liked having time to lay around and do nothing and read and not be correcting papers and typing things all the time. I did run a lot during break. I ran about 30 miles a week. But, I ( Read more... )

Going into the city as a 25 year old isn't as daunting a task or as impressionable an adventure as it was when I was 6. The skyscrapers don't seem quite as high. The streets don't seem quite as large. The crowds don't make me nervous anymore. The subways aren't frightening anymore. My friend Maureen and I went into the city early 2 days after ( Read more... )

I am happy I've almost made it to the midpoint of the year. Because everything around me has been such a whirlwind I almost completely forgot I had a livejournal. I just remembered a few days ago. That's why I haven't written in so long. School has been tough but things are getting better. I am happy I'm almost at the year's halfway point. I ( Read more... )

If anyone could still vote for George W. with a clear conscience after watching this movie than something's wrong. This documentary was so disturbing that I questioned whether this was true footage or whether Michael Moore fabricated it by putting the president's head on someboday else's body. It appears that George Sr. was a friend of Bin Laden ( Read more... )

When I run I take the time to look at the scenery. Today, however, I looked at some of the tackiest things I have ever seen. The first thing I saw was a life-size cardboard stand-up of a budweiser girl in the certain of someone's picture window of their house. I was like "what the hell, is this a frat house?" It was so tasteless because all the ( Read more... )

I haven't written in such a long time because school has started and I've been up to my neck with work and totally stressed out. This year I have a pretty tough class but I think it'll be ok. I've been spending my days doing lesson plans, and filling out data forms and making copies and all that good stuff ( Read more... )

I feel like I haven't written in a year. I've been busy setting up my 3rd grade class and going to these new teacher orientations. Next Wed. is the first day of school. I am nervous because i want to have everything ready and organized. Our school went through renovations over the summer so our school now looks like a big construction zone. I ( Read more... )
