sylvia plath

the other day, diana recommended plath's bell jar as a book to read. so yesterday, i went to barnes and noble and read the first 6 chapters. very impressed. great quote:

"Don't let this wicked city bring you down"

aint that the truth.

In the Philosophy section of Barnes and Noble

title of a book: "A New You: Words to Soothe the Mind, Body, and Spirit"

I remember taking Philosophy in college. it was one of the most distressing subjects I took the entire time i was in college. i was forced to come to grips with inconsistencies within myself and my personal philosophy. I was dragged into realizations about my religion and viewpoints on life and eternity. it was horribly painful. even now, thinking back, i remember going home with my mind full of questions and doubts. so when did philosophy become "words to soothe the mind, body, and spirit"? i loved reading about socrates' "examined life", but it hurt like a mother fucker. realizing that i had holes throughout my theory on life was eye-opening and earth-shattering.

so fuck you to the people who think that philosophy is soul soothing and relaxing. you have no clue what is going on in the world around you. you are an embarressment to western culture.

hey man, you got the hydro???

the above statement was mumbled by a drunken jackass in a normal coffee shop on the corner of 10th and hackberry. first of all, i am not super familiar with drug culture and the terms used for the product. second of all, i am pretty intollerant of drugs and those that use them. so, when this fucker comes in asking for drugs while under the inluence of other products, i damn near killed. instead, i restrained myself. this coffee house is quickly becoming a fucking drug den.

life is a fucking wonderful deal, isn't it?

quick hit trip to SA

ran to San Antonio with monty tonight, 4 hour trip one way. 2 thoughts while on the way:


1. passed by the tower of america, a landmark in SA. i remember on my honeymoon with adri we walked past it and she had to go up. i was too chicken and waited at the bottom for her. we were so happy then...


2. also, prepare yourself for HOLY WAR! the new action video game that involves all of your favorite Bible characters. be prepared to battle Jesus on the raging waves of the sea of Galalie. watch out for moses and his ten commandment shatering earthquakes! do you have the faith?

something for monty to steal

Got this from Pootlecat.

day of spring break

today is the last day of school before spring break. everyone can taste it. the students are ansy(?) and jittery and the teachers are just as bad. slept on Monty's couch last night for various reasons. slept about an hour. this might have something to do with my own case of the jitters.

in case i havn't mentioned it, Bright Eyes is my flavor of the month. i have bought two cds already and am falling head over heels for this incredible music. i am just blown away by the quality of the music and lyrics. anyway, enough about that for now.

4 periods to go, mother****ers!!! (edited due to my position in the community)

tuesday benchmark

today was benchmark day for my poor beleaguered children. i know they are sick and tired of tests, but the district keeps pushing them and i, their teacher, can't really protect them from the stupidity of beauracracy. instead, i am just another cog in the machine, much like them. if i argued against it, i would be tossed out as defective. i am under a lot of pressure right now by the powers that be, and i am falling behind on a lot of stuff. spring break is looming and the work must be completed soon.

personal issues seem to be abating, but we shall see, won't we? i never can tell how shit actually is until it stands up and punches me in the crotch.

this afternoon i have 4 classes. i had two classes this morning. but they were erased because of the benchmarking. so what do i do for my afternoon classes? ung, this is not easy. i will figure this out somehow.


enough for now.
