Downward spiral

I work at a school. I'd like to say I am a teacher, but to say that would mean I assume the kids are learning anything and that is a broad assumption.

Most of the kids are ok, but there is a growing number that it just seems like they parent don't give a damn. That makes the kids not give a damn and it seems like they get a little dumber every year. I hoped it was the other way around, but no...

I look at people like my dad and uncle, and it seems like they can do damn near anything. They fix cars, build houses, and all other types of skills that I can't compare with. I'm a college educated man that has had to learn the skill set needed when you have hit damn near rock-bottom, but they can do so much more for themselves than I can. I tend to feel like a dumbass around them.

I stand before a classroom full of kids every school day that I genuinely like, but they seem so dim. It makes me sad and I want to know how to reach them, but I don't know how. I guess I could pawn it off and say that they have to want to learn, but I don't know.

So what do I have? A website full of people that can't pour piss out of a boot even when you write the directions on the sole and the clip of them and their 15 seconds of e-fame.

Church of England to Apologize to Charles Darwin

I Love these. They pop up every so often and hundreds of years too late. Hell, it was only 8 years ago that the Pope officially apologized to Galileo Galilei, who died under house arrest for saying the sun was the center of the solar system.

Unknown Hinson

Funny guy. I'm just country enough to have relatives that remind me of this guy. I must make it a point to check out his live show. There's a lot of North Carolina alpha male complex in his character and there are many like him around here that are dead serious.
