Yes yes ya’ll. I’m gracing you all with another update. Crazy, I know. So, what is the reason for my sporadic update? Well, for one, it’s the summer. And two, nothing much is really going on. Sorry all, I lead a boring life. School will be starting next week, and it’s to the wonderful world of sub-teaching I go. No, I still do not have a teaching job. This year was crap for open Social Studies positions. Hopefully next school year will be better, or you never know, one may still open this year sometime. That would be sweet. This fall I suspect I will be posting again more regularly. Until then all my loyal readers (that just means you Podz) keep checking back. Something interesting is bound to turn up.
10 Years and He is Not Forgotten
10 years ago Tupac Amaru Shakur died after being shot 6 days earlier in Las Vegas. He is missed by many and forgotten by few.
Wow, Another Update

Snakes on a Plane
The unreleased movie Snakes on a Plane starring badass motherfucker Samuel L. Jackson is sure to be a cult classic. In fact, it already is, with shirts in stores like Hot Topic and parodies already floating around the net. The best one thus far has to be this video comedian Dave Coyne doing impressions of actors Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, Joe Pesci, and Robert Deniro, and muppet, Beaker doing casting auditions for the movie. This is hilarious, check it out.
Special Education
Looking for a teaching job for High School social studies is hard work. Very few positions are open because the field is full of people just like me looking for jobs. I ask some advice from many people on how to increase my chances of getting hired. On more than one occasion I was told to teach Special Education until a Social Studies position opens up. This I cannot do. Not because I don’t like special education students, that is not it at all. The reason is my degree is in History, not Special Education. What kills me even more is how many PE teachers teach Sp Ed. These teachers, just like I’m certified for history, are certified for Phys Ed and NOT Sp Ed. Am I the only one that sees a problem here? Students who need help the most are getting teachers who are only teaching them until a position in their actual field opens up. This does not seem right to me at all. Such is the way of the school systems I guess.
