Last Night I Dreamed I Met Morrissey

I had a dream last night that I met Morrissey.
He was really tall.

I told him he was really tall,
And he said, yeah I get that a lot.

I’ve never met Morrissey.
I’ve never even really liked Morrissey.

I used to make fun of Travis because he loved the Smiths.
He had a Morrissey haircut for a time.

I don’t see Travis anymore.
He lost the haircut Long Ago.

I had a dream last night that I met Morrissey.
And he was Really Tall.

Unimportance and Invisiblity

The Former, I’ve learned, begets the Latter.

Cabernet Revisions

Problem Solved.

History is one of those things that can be incrdibly annoying. It’s not the Dates, nor the Facts, but rather how it’s so Immovable. I know someone, however, that has found a solution for this.

House Cabernet.

If there are aspects of your past (shared or otherwise), a few glasses of House Cabernet will take care of it once and for all. Are there, perhaps, items of your past that you’d like to change? A few glasses of your local House Cabernet will take care of that problem. That’s the interesting thing about it. Others may think nothing has changed … but You will Know Better.

How? By realizing Everyone Is a Liar!! After having ingested this Magical Elixir, you and You Alone will realize the Truth behind everything. Oh sure, others may say and think One Thing … but You’ll Know Better. Because, of course, a couple of glasses of Said Potion not only render you Bulletproof, but also Infallible.

Me? I think I’m going to concentrate on getting my stomach to heal. Once I do that, I can get onto the Cabernet Bandwagon. And once that happens, I’m on the road to Always Being Right.

Word to Yr. Mother.

"You have to be Extra-Nice to me."

“FUCK YOU, I’M ALWAYS NICE!”

Daylight Savings …

Not a fan.

Dare I Add …

GOOOOOOOO GATORS!!!!

We are officially the most hated school in the country. That’s what happens when you have a History-Making Back-To-Back Basketball Championship as well as Football Championship. That’s three, for those counting at home. In a Row.

Unprecedented.

Suck on that Miami and FSU.

Huntin’ Dust Bunnies

Coughcoughcoughcoughcough. Blame it on the allergies.

Man, the past month has been Jam-Packed with excitement and tales of derring-do. Moving, new job, unpacking, niece visiting, still in Same New Job. I’m telling you … Thrills!

The Move and the New Job are obviously, the biggest deals that are going on. Packing was quick and easy, as I’m a pretty Light Traveler. That’s something I held over from living in Colombia. I was always so ready to move to the next place, and I never really had all that much down there to begin with. I think the biggest hassle was my footlocker, which had about 100 CD’s at the time.

I thought I was some Hot Shit having all that music then. 10 years before iPods. Imagine.

The New Job, as it has now come to be known, is awesome. I can’t say enough about how much I’ve enjoyed it so far. It’s been much more enjoyable than I ever imagined, getting back into a classroom. It’s so similar to what I did before in South America, that it’s been a relatively smooth transition. I’m the Head Teacher, which has caused a little bit of Ruffled Feathers amongst some of the other teachers. Nothing that’s been said outright to me, but I can totally feel a vibe with certain people when I roll in. That’s ok. If I’ve learned anything over the past couple of years, it’s to let minor things like that just roll off. It’s been a hard lesson to come by, but I think I’m finally starting to grasp it.

Anyway, I spend the mornings teaching English as a Second Language, and then in the afternoons I concentrate on more administrative tasks. Basically, I serve as an assistant of sorts to the Diretor of Studies. There’s been alot more to learn than I ever could have imagined, and I’ve definitely had my share of “accidents” that I’ve learned from … all the byproduct of a new environment, I would imagine. Anyway, my Boss has been very patient and encouraging with me, and I can’t say anything but positive things.

The other teachers, for the most part, have been great, too. There are a couple I’ve become somewhat friendly with, and that’s always helpful. The first days are such a “new kid at school” type of feeling, much like any new job, but thankfully I think I’m getting over it.

I hope I’m singing the same tune three months down the road. HA!

I’ve been able to catch a couple of shows here and there. If Leftover Crack and/or Whole Wheat Bread mean anything to you, stay tuned to this page over the next few days. The LoC show, in particular, was an Experience. And Punk as Fuck. Believe it.

I’ve gotten alot of music over the past few weeks, too. I couldn’t pass up renewing my once-dormant emusic.com account, so I’ve gotten about 200 new tracks over the last month or so. Some really great stuff (Hello, Nothington!), and more World/Inferno … and that’s always a good thing (no matter what Melissa may say).

I don’t mean to be such a myspace whore … but there’s music on them there pages.

And while you’re doing it, go see Shep. He Rules.

Wow, it’s been like. A Month.

Since I’ve posted on here. This really pisses me off at myself. Especially when one of your closest friends comes up to you and greets you as “Hey there, Mr. Blog-Abandoner.” The only solace I take there, is that she used, “Mr.”

Respect. Very Key.

Lots to say. Lots in my head. Lots of stuff saved on my other computer that I never wound up uploading (yet) …. I think I should inhale me some Motivation and see what I can do about this.

Stay tuned, kids. And yes, I’ve missed you far more than you’ve possibly missed me.

big sloppy kisses,
yr. pal spike

OK … Who’s Giving Me 30 Bucks?

I wanna check out AFI tonight.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I think a New Layout may be in order …

But I’m really not too crazy about the ones that blogger provides. I know the new blogger is supposed to have all of this “customization,” but I’ve yet to see a three column layout with the movable “elements.”

Does anyone feel my pain? Any solutions out there other than my LEARNING something?

Ugh.
