Protoblog

I was informed by a writer friend of mine that if I wanted to be of any consequence to this crazy world then I need a blog. I always figured blogs were for people who believe that they have more important things to say then they truly do. After about 22 minutes of intense deliberation and about five ounces of Laphroaig scotch, an epiphanal cord struck my consciousness causing me to recognize that blogging was for me.

With all sincerity (probably from the high-class buzz), I hope this will be my worst blog, as it is my first.

To warn any readers who subject themselves to this periodical oeuvre I must say, expect on occasion incongruous tense, grammatical misdeed, and contrived word manifested in times of creativity and languor for which I give no apologies.

Dark Horse of the Apocalypse

Here I am, my second blog entry. What I have to say, I am not sure, I have so much to say but nothing to talk about.

Ron Paul receives little-to-no attention from the media compared to other candidates but he has the money and grass roots attention (including a priva...

Bye Bye Mr. Stinky

I was a special education teacher. Matter of fact, I taught Special Education for four-and-a-half years. I taught some non-verbal kiddos how to read, increased the diversity in their diets, taught them games and social skills, and–what I am most proud of–I helped kids out of diapers, who were well past the time to meet that milestone… And let me tell you, that is not always an easy task. It is always a rewarding task. Find the carrot By carrot, I mean the motivation for doing something that is not preferred; for example, if you want to buy a beer, but you have no money, you might help a friend move. Moving is a total garbage activity, but he may pay you and buy you beer; if you know how to negotiate, you will get an unhealthy amount of pizza too. BAM! You had no money; now you have pizza, beer, and money, because you leveraged your time and effort. Potty training is no different. The kiddos usually don't know how to leverage their time and resources to get what t...
