spyderzero	5:23p	I have the weirdest dreams about people I haven't seen or talked to in ages. Taco Bell? Really? (2 Comments |Comment on this)
patina	4:37p	I'm eating candy! There was "Retro day" at school. I wish I'd known- I could have been all: "Greetings, Kiddies, Oim Robert Smith of the Cure." Yes, the eighties and even the nineties count as retro now. Ooh, I think I have a costume now. Victorian. Hah! I knew that skirt I fished out of the theater department bin would come in handy! Overheard: "And there was this girl dressed as Vespucia (?) from Morbid." "Ha! Was she fat?" Hmm...Is there some comic called Morbid? (Comment on this)

spyderzero	11:41p	Really, who the hell has to lie about their age on Facebook? There's this guy that I went to school with in 4th and 5th grade. Currently, he's listing his birthdate as being in 1988. If that were true, that'd put him at being 20 right now. So, explain to me how this guy, who fucked up A LOT when in my class, graduates so young? He's listed as a MGCCC alum of 2006, and that's awesome. If you spend four years in college, then that makes sense if you're in my graduating class. 2002. So, let's do some math. You take 2002 and subtract 1988 from it. That gives you 14. So, this guy wants you to believe he was 14 when he graduated from high school. Some kids do. Some home schooled kids do. But this guy was a little bit of a discipline problem. It's very doubtful that this guy graduated that young. I started school a year early. I was 17 at the time of the Class of 2002 graduation. What I'm getting at is that I think it's pretty sad that this guy has to lie about his age. I mean, I just don't understand why. I get why girls lie about their age sometimes, but guys? ...c'mon, man, that's just ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as someone actually taking time to think this thing out. Ugh.. (Comment on this)
the_goddess	6:33p	The Future of Our Educational System So this evening I attended the Teach and Inspire information session here in Hattiesburg. The program is for those with Bachelor's Degrees who do not have teaching degrees but want to become licensed teachers. The Teach and Inspire program is actually a scholarship for those who want to teach in high need subject areas in high need districts in Mississippi, Florida and 6 other states. The woman giving the information was very nice and very informative and only too happy to answer any and all questions. Although at this time they are not offering the scholarship for those who wish to be licensed in any of the areas I want to be licensed in, and the program is terribly expensive otherwise, I considered staying because the woman was very informative. This question made me change my mind. A woman sitting on the other side of the room (who I noticed when she came in because she came in with her entire extended family, including her 5 children) raised her hand during the segment about fees. Her question was entirely legitimate, but when she opened her mouth, that ceased to matter. "Do the mentor-ship has an extra fee?" I was done. I just sat there. The superintendent for the Hattiesburg Public School District started intently at an invisible spot on the floor because I am certain that he was very well aware of the notion that this woman probably graduated from Hattiesburg High. I had to leave the session early. I was embarrassed to be in the same room as this woman. This woman wants to be a teacher. The reason that I am getting my teaching license here is the same reason I am terrified to send my hypothetical children to school in this state. This woman will most likely be a licensed teacher in a year or two. I'm either going to have to leave Mississippi if I have kids, or be prepared to home-school them.

patina	11:40a	Retro "If I lived in the seventeen-hundreds, I wouldn't have to Turtle-wax the van!" I want to make an empire dress. I think with my short hair it would be very seventeen-hundreds. Too bad I hate sewing. I doubt I'll make that gray hooded robe either. Or that wine-colored frock coat either, but then I couldn't make that myself either. Screw it. I'm gonna go raid a museum and modernize the clothes. Ah, greed and daydreams. In other news, Tim Burton is apparently going to do Alice in Wonderland and Marilyn Manson is reportedly doing a film about the life of Lewis Carroll. Here *Scratches head in puzzlement* ...huh.

patina	1:00p	Has cold I'd already decided to stop listening to the news and read it instead. Mental health issue really. My grandmother told me she likes Fox news because of how fair and balanced they are. Hm. If there is any of that going on, I can't hear it over the thudding techno music in the background. This is a nice article from the author of The Gift of Fear Gavin de Becker Taken from sunfell link here "It may seem you are getting expert advice on the news, but that’s far from so. The moment you edit what an expert says, it’s just words you might as well put in the blender. Would you let a TV news crew mediate your doctor’s advice? Imagine being challenged by a difficult illness and your doctor’s compassionate and complete 30-minute presentation was edited down to 23 seconds." Yep, that's it in a nutshell. TV news doesn't make people well-informed. Current Mood: sick (4 Comments |Comment on this)
spyderzero	2:50a	Found on Craigslist.com My women Date: 2008-08-13, 6:40AM EDT Laura. You were hot. I was not. You let me fuck you because I was funny. Thank you. Kim. We smoked a lot of weed and drank all the time. I don't remember much. Sarah. You were hot. But a total bitch. I could have done better. You treated me like shit. I put up with it because you had a great vagina. Beautiful. Another Kim. You thought you were smart. You weren't. I was bored. Charlee. I liked your name and the way it was spelled. Rachel. You were really sweet and nice. Stop emailing me. It's been fifteen years. It's creeping me out and pissing off my wife. Fucking classmates.com. Megan. I wanted you since highschool. I was kinda dissapointed when it happened. Jennifer. What the hell was I thinking? What the hell were you thinking? You smelled kinda funny too. Your dad was a dick. Jill. You had HUGE nipples. Couldn't feel a thing though. Shame all that nippleage going to waste. Michelle. You were a drug addict. You have to be pretty fucked up for me of all people to say that. Another Megan. I lost your number. Laura. I did it for the novelty of going out with a girl that I went out with ten years before. You were still hot. I got kinda hot. We were better matched. Thanks again. Sorry I dumped you. You were a shitty tipper. I had no choice. Some handsome and cool shitty tipping guy probably grabbed you. Or some funny wanker. Another another Megan. I've dated a lot of Megans. This one was no prize. Debby. You were really smart except you had no self esteem. Be careful or some asshole is going to own you and that would be sad. You're smart and pretty and have great tits. Smaller tits can be awesome too. Sophia. Liked your name. Liked that you worked out a lot. You seemed nice but you fucked up my credit. User. Andrea. You had that adorable petit look that I can only call the "Penelope Cruz" look. Too bad you didn't have her personality. Emily. NOBODY FUCKING CARES YOUR FAMILY IS RICH. You'd be okay if you were not preoccupied with wealth you did not personally aquire. Dr. Sanderson. You worked to much. You were kinda cold. I thought you were cool though but you are so career motivated you probably did not give a shit about anything else. I got drunk once and thought about asking you to marry me though. I still wonder if you would have. Elizabeth. You are my wife. My wife is perfect. My life is perfect. Violet. You are my daughter. When I looked in on you tonight I had that rush of feeling so strong that a shiver went through my whole body and I had to move my hands really quickly to dissipate it's physical effect. Before I met you I was a "kids are no big deal, everyone's got kids and they're not that fucking special" kinda guy. You fucking ruined me. I'm gay for kids now. I love you so much baby. My unborn 6 month old fetal daughter. If you come out retarded or ugly as shit I'll still love and protect you. ----------------------------------------- In five years, I will make this exact same list. (4 Comments |Comment on this)
spyderzero	2:32a	Industrial. That's me. I need to get ahold of a T6 Torx wrench. If you have one I can borrow for a grand total of ten minutes, let me know. Really, I hope someone might have one, *cough*Jason*cough*. I've solved my hard drive problem!!! (1 Comment |Comment on this)
spyderzero	12:59a	CableOne busted me tonight for downloading a movie. Jaws. 180 movies, and they get me for fucking Jaws. Are you serious? The Xbox is gone. It was starting to shit out on me, so I took it to gameStop before it had a chance to. Traded it in and paid the difference on the new 60GB model. I wound up spending about an extra $200, but really, it kind of balances out when you think about how much I saved by not going and buying a whole new system after mine shat out on me. That's really all. Nothing exciting today. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

spyderzero	12:39a	Like I need another hole in my head.. I'm highly considering getting my eyebrow re-pierced. I really miss it, and getting my ear done was more of an encouragement than a deterrent. All I really would need to do is order a bioplast stopper to put in instantaneously, and let it heal with that in, so work doesn't get pissy. Once it's properly healed, I could put the actual ring in. I don't know why I do this. Really, I know that in ten years this won't matter, and neither will be in my head anymore. Eh. It's fun anyhow. I'm currently in the process of dodging Lisa. She's in the process of being removed from her place, and she keeps asking me for rides and so forth. This is going to lead to her asking to stay at my house for awhile. I guess the right thing to do would be to say Okay, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Something about being 24 and having a 46 year old living with you...I dunno. I think it's just overall it'd bother me. I've written about her a million times, so I don't need to go into detail. Needless to say, she's pressuring me. "I need a ride, I know you're at work but hopefully tomorrow you can do it. If not then I guess I'll just try to find someone else to help me find somewhere to live." Ugh. Seriously, I know you're supposed to take care of family, but I just don't think that I should be trying to find housing and so forth for her. She's a grown woman. Anyhow... Capcom's developing a CGI Resident Evil movie that actually follows the RE storyline. Bitchin'! Resident Evil Degeneration's going to be sick. I guess I need to go to bed now. Smoothies are an awesome breakfast, and I wanna go get one before work tomorrow. I'm most likely going to be bored, since it's a Monday, so if you get a random text, don't be surprised.

spyderzero	2:23a	So, I'm almost through getting this cd called Karmacode by Lacuna Coil. Man, that's one good thing about Rock Band and Guitar Hero...they're good at introducing people to music you may otherwise not have heard. Our Truth is on RB2 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to wear that song out like I did Monsoon with RB1. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

patina	4:06p	Listening to the political debates every night is going to kill me. Dad turns it waay up and makes comments. I listen to bluegrass on headphones, but sometimes its just not enough. Today I taught students about potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is when you're way up on top of a roller coaster and you can look down and see that you're doomed. I've been substituting three days in a row. Teaching is a profession that automatically turns you into Nurse Ratched, only shriller. (Comment on this)

patina	11:23a	Music I first heard Jill Tracy's song "Just the Other Side of Pain" on NPR's "Hearts of Space." (By the way the announcer on that show has the best radio voice ever.) I'm liking her album "Diabolical Streak" because it reminds me of fall days. Especially sunny weekends in downtown Hattiesburg. Some of the songs sound too alike, though. (Comment on this)

prince_mab	4:53a	Palin...scares the shit out of me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdRYs5aWYBM random point...on 3:25 she refers to Osama Bin Laden as "The binladen" Watch the SNL and then watch the actual interview....you'll see the SNL is not much of a stretch... doom, doom, doom http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/couric-palin-open/704042/ In this polar-bear hatin' (Did you know their numbers are increasing according to the good biologist Governor?? Hint: it's a lie) oil guzzlin' diatribe, Palin tells Glenn Beck that she would NOT leave Alaska if McCreepy gave her that geriatric tap...but then she told the American People that she "didnt' hesitate for a second."...sounds pretty freaking impulsive, eh?

spyderzero	6:29p	Holy crap, Charles is awesome. Charles is my direct manager, affectionately known as Papa Bear. ( Papa Bear after the cut ) That's Charles on the right. Seriously, he's friggin' awesome. I went in to work today to see when I work tomorrow, as I'm returning from vacation. Turns out, Charles gave me tomorrow AND Saturday off, as well. So, it's like Christmas. An extra day off. It's something small, but was a huge bright-spot for my day. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

spyderzero	4:51p	Paul Newman passed away yesterday. One of the actors from the "Golden Generation" of Hollywood. I've only seen two movies (offhand) of his, one of them being Cars and the other being Road to Perdition. I wonder why when someone famous passes away, everyone feels the need to let everybody else know, but if its someone that's not famous at all, it's like it never happened...

patina	7:11p	Arrrr! I hate that commercial for beef jerky with the tag line "Eat like an alpha." No. Just no. Eating meat does not make you tough. The only way it would be impressive would be if you went out and killed the animal yourself. With your bare hands. Unless you did that, you are no more macho than the vegetarian next to you. Besides, eating meat can potentially cause an elevated level of cholesteral, which can cause impotence. (I have leftover vegetarian rage from being teased about my eating habits.) (By the way, I like the snickers commercial with the Polynesian, the pilgrim, the viking and Henry VIII.) Current Mood: peeved (4 Comments |Comment on this)
