...this is the most important and exciting thing that has ever happened in the world.
I don't know who has been keeping this a secret from me. But that person is a cruel person.
It
has
everything
i
have
ever
liked in my life.

I want to be stuck in that video as a cameo forever and eternally. Like, if I had to just be a party guest or the cat's friend or something, and then when the movie was over we just started over again ad infinitum, I would be glad to do that.
I think break is a great time because I remember the things and the people that I like and who I am when I'm not fighting anything. Then when I come back to fight I'm a lot less tired. Expect big things from me.

reading...
...gud. A follow-up-esque thing about schools and why they are depressing sometimes.
Now, there's probably some good stuff going on somewhere. I haven't seen it, though. Therefore, it's difficult for me to describe it.
I was in schools and community after school spaces quite a bit in the last couple of weeks of the semester, wrapping up tutoring programs and collecting forms and all that business. While I was in those schools, I guess I just saw more things that made me frown than things that made me like, "woah, childrenz w/ growing brainz!"
While I was waiting for a kid to get picked up by his parents at the main elementary school I work at (the school refuses to provide transportation for my 24 tutoring kids so their parents, who usually work evenings, end up leaving work to get their kid) I picked up the school news letter and looked over it. The front page blew me away.
The introductory comments of the "Wildcatzette" read:
From the Principal's Desk....
I would like to stress the importance of reading in this month's edition of our newsletter. Reading is the most critical skill that we teach in school. Without reading, none of us would be successful! It's true! How else would your children be able to order off the menu at McDonald's or pick their favorite game to play at Chuck E. Cheese? How would our teachers know what course to take in the summer or how to select the latest best selling novel at Barnes and Noble? Listed below are a few tips for increasing reading at home with your child(ren). Please encourage reading everyday in your house. Your child should be reading at least twenty minutes every night at home.
1 Read aloud to your child every day.
2. Read different types of materials (newspapers, comic books, magazines)
3. Ask questions about what your child is reading.
4. Take your child to the public library.
5. Read for fun!
Sincerely,
Dr. XXX
I imagine something struck you as...vaguely wrong here. The principal has a DOCTORATE. They went to school for SEVERAL YEARS to hold this position. Yeesh.
On a me note, Manhapitan is much suckier when no one you know is in town except for your family. I guess I wasn't great at making friends in high school. Minneapolis will certainly be blast of fresh (cold) air.

i like sports....
...and i don't care who knows.
But i usually don't write about it. The only thing related to sports that i write about is Ron Artest. I think this is probably because i love Ron Artest. He likes to fight, talk a lot of nonsense, and play defense. Ron Artest is his own man. You can read the first of many things i plan to write about Ron Artest in an earlier post.
Here are three things you may not have heard about Ron Artest.
1: He is not above throwing shoes to gain a competitive advantage (you have to watch to the end).
As a particular press conference involving George Bush Jr. has illustrated, throwing shoes can be awesome, whether your adversary is a bunch of imperialist assholes...or it's Trevor Ariza.
2: He used to drink Hennessy at halftime of NBA games.
. Like I said, Ron Artest is his own man. However, Ron Artest is not a role model.
3: Ron Artest loves animals. He is a spokesman for PETA's spay and neuter campaign.
Perhaps he is a role model, in his own special way.
You can have your sports icons, i don't want them. Me? I like my sports figures with some swagger. Ron Artest thinks that in his own way he's a more valuable player than Kobe Bryant. Ron Artest wants to fight Ben Wallace. Ron Artest's dog's name is John Henry.
For these and several other reasons, i think that Ron Artest might be my favorite professional basketball player.
Whew!
In me news, i am applying to law school. If anyone ever discovers this shit, i will not be accepted to any of them.
A role model in my own special way,
