about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

What’s Pizza Got To Do With It?

August 25, 2005

The boys are scheduled to start school on Monday. I say scheduled to start school because our school district started school late last year because of construction, and there is construction going on again this year. I don’t know why it has taken more than three months to fix the parking lot, but that’s another story.

Last year, a new gymnasium was being added to my boys’ elementary school. (I won’t go into my feelings about adding a new gym instead of building new classrooms to get rid of the portables, but I will say I don’t understand the priorities there.) The construction kept the school from opening on time. The postponement of classes was made known to the community, not through a letter to the parents and not through the school itself during the annual open house the week before school. No. It was made known through the local day care centers and, OF COURSE, the local pizza place. Yes, that’s right. The LOCAL PIZZA PLACE.

I complained about the pizza place being used as a source of communication last year when the first day of school was postponed, but I learned from the experience. This year, on the way to the open house to meet the second grade teachers, I drove by the pizza place. Turns out, the pizza place is better at putting up signs about school cancellations than it is at making pizza. Seriously, the pizza there is terrible, but the sign was clear. The open house had been cancelled. Word has it, it was cancelled due to the parking lot construction that has been going on all summer.

Tomorrow, I will call two more school systems in search of something better. I don’t know why these issues should surprise me so much, considering the trouble I’ve been having with my own university.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
