Holding Out for a Hero
I'm addicted to the news. CNN mostly, Fox News occasionally (but because of their Bush connections, I mistrust them). From so much news watching, I've become convinced of one thing: we live in a world in need of heroes. We're so desperate, in fact, that if we find someone who has some kind of small extraordinariness, we tag him or her like cattle, as a hero for our time. Their sins pass only in our eyes as tiny indiscretions or missteps. It drives me mad.

I am thoroughly enjoying my student teaching. I am learning how to learn...why didn't I just do this 12 years ago? Ah, I probably wouldn't have paid any attention back then--wouldn't have been so dedicated. Boys were a much better subject, took up much more of my time, then. But teaching is sincerely going to bring about some major changes in the ways I look at everything. The hour and a half that I'm with my students flies by and I usually don't even notice that it's time to leave when it's time to go. It really brings out my inner nerd. Not that that's too hard!!
Went to the Jockey Lot today. Bought sunglasses. Was felt up by a Mexican wearing camoflauge. Had Easter dinner with family. Went to church.

Song Title: The Visit
I'm proud to see you here... I can't relieve, believe the pressure in my head... It's a game of chance, I whisper in your ear... Fall apart along the way... Don't you ever see it through.... Jesus said in heaven.... There's not that much to do.... I'm proud to see you here... I'm proud to be here with you all... I have a message from your son.... When the ground starts shaking....Watch the gifts inside your home... I have a feeling many aren't for you... Leave your dollars where they fall.... They have a message of their own... When the ground starts shaking..... run....
Keep on running... or so says your son... She's a pillar of your home.... Keep on shaking... or so says your son... She's a vice....
Keep on running... 'Til you can't go on......
