The Love of a Three-Day Weekend

This weekend I have a three-day weekend. Is there no better feeling than knowing you have an extra day in your weekend? I think not. (ok, well, maybe a few things). I have Friday off this week and am looking forward to being away from school for an extra day. I may …

If I Ever Leave This World Alive

This week's song is a great song by the great Irish American Punk band Flogging Molly. Nothing much to say about this song really besides it's a great song. You've might have heard it on the TV show Weeds before. I've known about them for a while. I think they are …

Gmail and IMAP

Ever since I got my first Gmail account a couple years ago, I wished it had IMAP support. As many probably know, Gmail has recently enabled IMAP on accounts. My account still doesn't have it enabled, but my Gmail for domains does. I was excited at this news, but then …

I Need a New Host

For reasons I won't discuss here I am searching for a new host. I don't need crazy amount of space and/or bandwidth that many budget hosts oversell. I would like around 10gb space and 25-50 gb of bandwidth. I want a reliable host with CPanel (or Plesk) installed and …

A Lifetime Goal

There are several things I would like to accomplish before I die. This post isn't about those. This is about a goal I wish to accomplish before someone else dies. I have a huge sense of St. Louis pride. I take pride in the city, the teams, and the music. Whenever I …

Joey Bishop Dies

As I've mentioned before, I'm a huge fan of Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack. Joey Bishop was the last surviving member of the group. From The New York Times:

Joey Bishop, the long-faced comedian and the last surviving member of the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra's celebrated …

Doesn't Remind Me

Recently h0bbel turned me on to a live acoustic album by former lead singer for Audioslave and Soundgarden, Chris Cornell. Audioslave is one of my favorite rock bands so I was really excited to learn about this live album that was recorded in Sweden. Chris Cornell has …

Long Day

This is going to be a really long day, I can tell. It's not because I have a lot of students, because I only have four. It's because I'm tired, which I wasn't until I got into the classroom. Why am I tired? Well, I got my usual amount of sleep last night and had my …

Going to Mexico

I've not posted a song of the week for a while now. Mostly because there really hasn't been anything too new that has caught my ear. I have been listening to CunninLynguists' Dirty Acres almost nonstop for a week or so now. Recently they added the song "Mexico" ft. …

Whatever Happened to Discipline?

I am really beginning to wonder what happened to discipline. Every day I deal with kids who don't care. That's not unusual. Kids don't want to work, they want to play. I was like that too, but I always did my work anyway. Why? Because my I knew my parents would …

Homecoming

This past Saturday I went to Homecoming at my old high school, Fort Zumwalt South. It was a great game. The Bulldogs have a great team this year and have improved their record to 6-0. They played Frances Howell Central and beat them 34-0. The only downside to the …

The Rat Pack in St. Louis

I know this is odd for someone my age, but I am a huge fan of The Rat Pack, especially Frank Sinatra. Sadly, they did their stage show before my time and I've only seen it in a DVD I have (where they are actually performing in St. Louis at the Fox Theatre with Johnny …

My Masters Degree

I don't plan on starting any time soon. I won't start until I can afford to start, which means once I get a full-time teaching position with a school. I've been thinking of what I want to get my degree in. Some of the possibilities would include Education, Reading, …

Ann Coulter Still Won't Shut Up

Ann Coulter is still flapping her big mouth. Like I said before, she needs to shut the hell up. She's not attacking Edwards or 9/11 widows this time, instead she's saying that all women should lose the right to vote.

"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd …

Cardinals' GM Walt Jocketty Leaves

This is sad news for many in Cardinal Nation because Jocketty was one of the best in the business. He made some great moves and decisions with trades. Here is part of the story from StLToday.

The Cardinals will begin an intensive search today for general manager Walt …

Breaking News! Leave My Show Alone

I really hate how whenever they need to interrupt programming for a news break or weather warning they always wait until the commercials are over. God forbid they lose out on their advertising revenue to, I don't know, possibly save lives. This happened while I was …
