lesby friends

ok, let me preface anything else i say by noting that i am, in fact, a straight white male. ok, got that out of the way.

i love lesbians. sure, usually of the lipstick variety, but hell, i have no problem with a woman loving a woman. its their right and i support that. i am also cool with lesbians expressing their love for each other in the open, without restriction. more than that, if a woman wants to parade around the fact that her sexual preference is women, great. i just don't care.

but...today i was watching law and order. i must state now, that law and order is one of my favorite shows on network tv. anyway, the show was about 2 rappers who shot each other, blah blah blah. well, at the end of the show the hot blond attorney gets fired for being to soft to be a good prosecution attorney. last couple of lines of the show...

"is this because i am a lesbian?"

"no"

"Good"

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

i have watched this show for several years now. note that law and order rarely shows the personal lives of the characters, which is fine, the show is good enough without that crap. watch 3rd watch if you want that shit. . . anyway, a lesbian? this came out of left field. if she was a lesbian all along, why hide that from the viewers? if she wasn't, why the fuck make her into one when she is getting booted???

i give up.

another day, another dollar

i hate days when i dont get proper rest and end up wandering around my job like a fucking zombie. i stand in front of my students and try to come across as caring, but damn, i am tired. i went to be early enough but te wife woke me up at 230. it is her right, as my wife, or course, but i have to get up at 6 in the morning and her job hasnt restarted yet since the holidays. i was up till 330. finally fell back asleep. ung...

my next two classes have 21 and 22 students, respectively. this is no good. my room is pretty small and more than 15 students is just too many. i try and make it enjoyable for the students, but its tough when the room is so packed.

my principal wants me to go help out interviewing a candidate for a position at the school tomorrow. i am excited a little, but also a little overwhelmed. i have enough to do already. adding more to my load doesnt help me much. i guess thats why i makes the big bucks. class in 2 minutes.

adios
