this morning while teaching math class at upland elementary, i was more/less talking out of my buttox (pardon the expression) while students were working on word problems.
i said "draw pictures on your sheet if you need to figure it out in your head." i realized right when i said it. i was hoping nobody would catch it. but lo and behold, little michael in the front row says "figure it out in your head????" humbled, i smiled and nodded and shrugged my shoulders and said "i have no idea." and he said "poor choice of grammar!!" and i concured, "yep, you caught me."
kids say the darndest things.
piebald was just playing in the room, and i think the singer guy is more/less an elem. teacher. one of the songs has lots of little kids singing with him. when im a rock star im gonna have my kids sing on all my albums.
furthermore, when serene played here the drummer asked what i was studying.
me: "elementary education, actually."
drummer: (somewhat surprised) "oh..a noble profession."
me: (in my indie voice) "eh, it's no rock star, but it pays the bills."
drummer: hey, it allows for summer touring.
me: true, true.
he proceeded to tell me about a friend who taught kids and played out as well, and all the kids thought he was the absolute greatest.
so, problem solved, i guess.

tonight i worked from 4:30 pm to 1:00 am. im angry.

last night i went to bed at 3:30 AM. it made me feel like a college kid again. i havent done that since the first few weeks of my freshman year. when i was a freshman i could somehow do that like it was my job. not anymore. but it was fun. but today im really tired and i keep wondering why and then i remember i was up til 3:30 last night. whatever.
tonight i have to work at nostalgia night rehearsal from 4:30 til most likely 1:00 or so. it's gonna be rough. awfully rough.
there's talk of nate and i recording. that'd be totally sweet.
um. ok. ive got nothin.

the basketball team lost.
im getting absolutely positively NOTHING done tonight.

i just slept for an hour and a half. one of those naps where you wake up disorientented and feeling like you've slept for days. kinda nice. so now i guess im not going in to work tonight. nah.
ive got this bad pain in my back thats kinda making it difficult to breathe. is that a bad thing?

so tonight was wok night in the dc...an attempt by the "asian awareness association" to, i guess, make us aware of asians by serving us chinese food. now, im sure the food was great, but i can think of a lot more effective ways to make us aware of asians then by making us wait for 45 minutes in a crowded line just for a plate of food.

honestly...man...my bio prof i think is probably the best prof at this school. he is just so passionate and genuine...extremely intelligent and communicates well...challenging and motivating... i am privileged to have this semester with him. today he opened class with a 25 minute devotional...and you can just tell how authentic and passionate he is. so. yeah. i like bio.

blogs are fun.
here is where i waste most of my time.
and now you can too.

goodbye.

notice me. thats all i ask.

just in case you dont read the comments...this is hilarious. IM adman468 and make fun of him:

hey bro....i got a sweet pair of sweatpant at walmart. Here's the key: you have to go to the maternity section to get a pair that doesn't have elastic on the bottom and are big enough to be hip. check it out. it worked for me. just don't tell anyone cause they'll prolly make fun of you. i know from experience. peace.
adam

but really, adam...what made you think to go to the maternity section? this intrigues me. so much so i just might try it out.
