So I went to get a haircut across the street today. I went in to see someone new as my former person left. Scott was pretty cool at first, he was from Florida was definitely the straight guy doing the haircutting thing for the women from what he was saying. Whatever, his life, it was interesting enough to talk to him while he cut my hair ( ( Read more... )

So things are going real well. My Steel Pan Ensemble did a great job at their concert, my Middle and High school bands both also performed very well. I got tons of great parent response to everything and really felt validated as a teacher and musician. I am STILL beaming with pride a week later. I love my middle school kids, they are tons of fun ( Read more... )

So my first day on vacation has been spent laying in bed, watching Sopranos Season 6, playing with the kitty and munching on chedderwurst. It's fucking awesome to just relax and unwind. I'm now on my third white russian and watching the 40 year old virgin for the first time. Fuckin' sweet life. I've got plenty of social shit planned later in the ( Read more... )

I have the Strip steak which was excellent. I then took the train to New Haven and drove home. I arrived at 4 and napped. I set my alarm for 5;30 but must have sleep-shut-it- ( Read more... )

First week in school was great. My kids are awesome. Sure, some are precocious, some are silly, some are overly talkative, some are silent as all hell....but they're mine. They don't swear at teachers, hit them, openly rebel, treat the teachers like shit....it's an actual school. I'm beginning to feel like in my past school I was a babysitter with ( Read more... )
