Tales of the Forgotten Melodies
A friend of mine from France has really great taste in music. She listens to a lot of electronic music, something I've never really gotten into. One night she introduced me to a song called "Our Dance...
The Genius of Johnny Cash
As many are aware, I do not like country music. It just doesn't do anything for me. No, it's not because it's all about your girlfriend leaving you and stealing your pick-up truck (though, I do use th...
Potty Talk
No, I'm not talking about the four-letter words we all love to use. This time, I am in fact talking about going to the bathroom, more specifically, urinating. I know this may seem like an odd topic to...

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 peopl...
Gnarls Barkley
Wow, what can I say about this album? Only one word can describe it... Amazing. Cee-Lo comes great on this album. I really don't know how to explain the album really. It's not really anything like his...
Has it been 5 years?
This past Saturday was my my 5 year high school reunion. 5 years goes by quick. Now, I really do find the 5 year pointless. Everyone is still in college or just got out of college and are looking for...
My visit to KC
So I went up to Kansas City this weekend to visit my friends Matt and Anna. I went to see their new place and the Cardinals play the crappy Royals. I hadn't seen them since their wedding at the end of...
Who Would Notify You?
This thread on the WordPress forums made me think. What would happen if I suddenly die? Who would notify you? How long would it take for people I know and talk to online to wonder where I went? Recent...
Been a long time, shouldn't have left you

The Other Civil Rights Movement
I watched a movie tonight on HBO. What originally interested me in this movie was the fact that Michael Pena starred in it. Since his excellent role in Crash, I knew he would be an actor to look out f...
Quick Update
Nothing much to really write about, or at least write a whole post about, so I figure I'd throw up some random happenings in my life. I'm subbing a fair amount at Fort Zumwalt. It's kind of odd seeing...
