New Job

Being a school teacher, we should have more training for non-academia students.  Our technical training jobs and service/maintance jobs should be more readily available to our students who know they don't want to go to college, but also don't want to have to depend on the gov'ts assistance either.  We need to get our heads out of our asses and start thinking about something other than high stakes test scores.  Who knows you could end up like poor stickman.

Creation

Creation is a tough concept to wrap my mind around, so I don't.  I try not to think about what came first: the chicken or the egg.  I don't look at the television and say, "Boy, I wonder how that works."  But I do wonder how the telephone works.  It's amazing that we can dial a number and within seconds be talking to someone a thousand miles away.  That's crazy!

Apocalypse Now

The Mayan Calendar is drawing nearer to the year 2012.  Has anyone ever thought that they just decided to stop writing down dates?  If you look on the back of a check register it only shows around ten years.  Do you think if our civilization crumbled and a scientist found it 500 yrs from now they would think that our life cycle was 10 yrs?  The world's end isn't near, but our end is always just a breath away.  Enjoy the day, laugh with your friends, and hug the ones you love; but don't become hyper-focused on the negative aspects of our crazy lives.

Blockbuster Movie Poster

I used to love going to the movies.  The mouth watering smell of popcorn, the great view from the mammoth sized screen, and the serene quiet are all reasons for my love.  Now that my wonderful kids rule my life, I rarely see a movie over the rating PG.  Even though I do love the children's flicks, I am in desperate need to go see a movie with my wife, or friends without my kids.  Popcorn, mmmmmmmmmm!

DOWN THE DRAIN

This is for my sister who tried to drown me as a child.  My mom thought it was a good idea to make a 4 yr old bathe with his 12 yr old sister.  I should also note that she hated me. She enjoyed being an only child and all I wanted was to hang out with her every second of every day.  Soooooo, she would SWOOSH me in the tub.  I thought it was supposed to be fun, when in actuality she was trying to drown me.  We get along great now, but when my two girls ask to bathe together they get a definite, "NO!"

Bodybuilding

When working out be healthy not stupid.  For a long time, I looked healthy but I was stupid.  Now I can barely lift my arms over my head, and if I fall asleep on my arm, I can' move it for a week.  My wife loves to hear me moan and complain throughout a movie, or crack my bone-on-bone shoulders, knees, and ankles.  Anything done is moderation is okay, and even looking like Stickman is okay as long as you can live with it.
