MY MUSIC (Part 2)

Where was I? Oh, yes. Nirvana. January 1992. (Boy, go get your dad a beer while he continues telling his story to the web...Thanks.) Funny thing, the passing of time. I'm listening to "Nevermind" right now on the ol' iTunes (replacing my long-defunct dubbed-off cassette), and it really doesn't do much for me. I admire it's technical qualities, I enjoy basking...

MY MUSIC (Part 1)

I have dedicated the past eight years to the field of education, and in doing so passed from a 24-year-old whose evenings out did not really get going until at least 10:00 pm to a 32-year-old whose Target bed-in-a-bag comforter is usually tucked up around his chin by 11:00. The second thoughts and repercussions of this life choice may fill a...

WHY I LOVE MEL GIBSONS MAVERICK (PART ONE)

As we all know, ol Mels vanity project The Passion, a lovingly rendered tableaux of Our Lord and Savior getting, quite literally, the holy shit beaten out of him has gone on to become one of the top-grossing R-rated films of all time. Across the length and breadth of this great land, humble folk have put...

Please don't tell me you used to wack off to Jodie Foster. If that's where this is going, I'm going to be shuddering myself to sleep for eight days.

I'd rather hear you had a thing for Mel Gibson.
bbkaro:
Part two, lazy. Come on. I know you're not working.

Yeah, so...I'm a teacher. I'm much more the tweedy academian than my picture would indicate. (A contrived profile pic? No WAY...)

Is there anyone who looks forward to summer more than a teacher? It is no coincidence that the end of a nine-month period is just about the time I begin to contemplete slaughtering all of my eighth graders and making wallets out of their...

Mother Nature is waging a slow but steady campaign to relieve me of my hair naturally. No need to hurry it along.

You're such a dick.
