I find myself in the classroom waiting for my teacher and the rest of the class to trickle in. This room is apparently also used to teach younger kids. There are signs on the wall reading “Do What’s Right”, You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to”, and “Just as long as you do [...]
I went to see FFH on Friday night. I had a lot of fun. Big Daddy Weave was the opening band. The lead singer has a great voice; it sounds just like his voice on the radio. I don’t like it when people sound good on the radio and then sound awful in concert. I [...]
This was inspired by something I read. And “History of Veterinarian Medicine” class.
To take a nap
With notes in my lap
Would be a marvelous joy
But the teacher it seems
Is invading my dreams
And frowns down on my restful ploy
So I’ll open my eyes
To don my disguise
Of giving my rapt attention
While the subject, I fear
Never enters my ear
Thus [...]
I never really knew my biological father. My mother was 16 when I was born and she was older than my father. He was obviously not ready to care for a family. His father, my grandfather, didn’t help the situation. He discouraged my father from having anything to do with me. So I had no [...]
Do you think a doctor’s office should have more handicapped parking spaces than a regular parking lot? I’m talking a multi-practitioner office. Many of the people who park there are disabled; those are the kind of people that go to the doctor. Maybe they could borrow some extra spaces from Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club. I’ve [...]
One of my closest friends is moving 3 hours away. That stinks. The more I think of our past, the worse it becomes. We met as freshmen in high school, on the football team. I think I can safely say that football had a great impact in shaping both of our lives. We learned to [...]
Snow: “precipitation in the form of small white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapor of the air at a temperature of less than 32?F (0?C)”
To parody Delirious from the Cutting Edge CDs: What is this thing called [snow]/ I know I’ve found it/It’s [here] in [Maine].
Here’s the deal: For quite some time [...]
Today the drug rep brought us lunch from Applebee’s (see 2/13/04). I ordered “Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Alfredo.” The name sounded pretty self-explanatory to me. I get some chicken and some broccoli on pasta in alfredo sauce. I like all that stuff. Therefore I thought I would really enjoy my lunch.
When I finally sat down [...]
Ahhh, the sweet ring of dirt being sucked up a vacuum! The gentle trickle of water being wrung from a mop. The shiny floor at the end of a long night. Yes, I am a janitor.
Tell me, does the shame lie with the one who clean up the messes of others, or in being the [...]
