Michael Phelps et cetera...
Pending information, Michael Phelps could be charged for photos of him smoking a bong... there are so many things wrong with this and with the fact that this is news at all, I know I can't touch on all of them. Warning: transition-free ramble ahead...
As Ashton Kutcher similarly put it, ask your college student what he/she was doing last weekend. ( Read more... ) -
AA: Assholes Anonymous
Why do people feel that anonymity gives them the right to be assholes?! There was a thread going on a news article in our local paper today and the comments people were leaving were absolutely horrendous. If I knew that even half those people would have the balls to say that shit to a teacher's face, I'd have a little more respect, but I wouldn't ( Read more... ) -
Ever knocked over an entire tea disply at the grocery store? No? I have.
I hope this goes without saying, but, let me preface this by saying that I am an open-minded, mostly judgement-free individual.
However...
I will judge you if you observe an individual knock over an entire tea display and, upon further observation of that individual actually taking responsibility for her dumbass and bending to pick up the 40+ ( Read more... ) -
Ballet, Bagels, oBama
I felt like I didn't have much to say until I was waiting for the page to load...
I started back to ballet. I'm taking classes at CB again. It's amazing how quickly my body went back to the old habits (good and bad) and how everything just fell into place. Granted my extension is pretty much shit compared to what it used to be, but overall it's ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
After staying a little extra to make a test after school today, I headed straight for the wine shop in Capitol Market. School's been rough this week. Not the teaching...not the discipline. It's everything but that. It's the part of teaching that you don't fully understand until you do it. It's the worrying about 125 of your kids every night - ( Read more... ) -
learning
I learn a little more every day. I learn I have nothing to prove. I learn I am powerless over most situations. I learn there are lots of things I don't know. I learn when to keep my mouth shut. In fact, I learn to keep my mouth shut most of the time. I learn to reach out when I need some help. I learn to reach out when I need to cry. And I ( Read more... ) -
not depressed, not even sad, just curious
I'm wondering, does one ever honestly get over his or her past? Or does the sadness just get fewer and farther in between? Everytime I get to the point of saying fuck it, I'm 23...I'm happy...it's past and there's nothing to do about it now, something touches a nerve within me and I find myself in tears over something that hurt for the first time ( Read more... ) -
New Year's Resolutions - the update
I'm doing the things that make me happy. I'm dancing again - ballet once a week. I'm finally learning to play acoustic guitar. I'm up at a decent hour on a Sunday, writing and reading. I'm walking my dog when the weather isn't down right nasty and I'm not dead beat tired. I'm not smoking (that wasn't a hard one). I'm spending time with Mark ( Read more... ) -
things going on
Sunday I was dreading going back to work, dreading. Monday I was miserable. I got excited to see my kids for a bit. Even in the hallway before homebase I was smiling honestly, then misery set in. Tuesday or Wednesday after getting back into the routine, I started to really think about what my deal was. Toward the end of the break I'd been ( Read more... ) -
Superstars of Dance!!
HOLY SHIT! Sorry, but that's the only way to express how FA-REEKING excited I am right now. There is a new show on NBC called Superstars of Dance, and if you like dance in anyway whatsoever, you have got to watch this show. This is going to be better than anything else that has ever been on tv associated to dance...I guarantee it. Please enjoy :
