Grief and a good week...

One thing about being self employed is that you are isolated from other people's stories. This can be both good and bad. On the one hand, you are saved from dealing with alot of tragedy, and on the other hand, you are isolated from the human condition in all it's ugliness and splendor.

Two girls died this week that went to Riverside high. Both from car accidents, both fifteen years old. Tragic. I ran sound for the memorial and candle light vigil on Tuesday. Neither of the girls was my student, but it was incredibly difficult to watch 500 people grieve together nonetheless. So, the mood at school has been subdued this week. Some kids have needed counseling. Not fun.

So, it is especially strange that I am having one of my best weeks at school yet. I feel like I am making a difference and my kids are doing really well. In the coming weeks, I'll give you some profiles of my students and let you share in their progress but, for now, I'm off to school.

Hi Paul Overton,

I was just lighting my farts and came across your blog. It was so interesting that the candle I used to ignite the my cheap burrito methane dripped a quart of wax into my anus before I realized that Kent "Soul Brutha" Esquire wouldn't be able expound on how the depth of my hole adversely affects my swing out. If you'd like to buy lost wax castings of my lower colon, please goto http://www.jasonyencantbelievethesecunts.com

Kenticus, Diane and I love you and Sharon wish you would come back.

Nice Hungry House tattoo, biatch.

Hi, % insert Robot name here%, i was just reading your site with real eyes, and compelled to login and delete all the pungent candle spam comments. You had built up quite an impressive list of them, and i am sure you are sad to see the ad revenue from all that spam go away (wait,you weren't getting any), but i couldn't take it anymore.

Jason and I will be lighting our farts over in the corner if you want to join us, i am going to buy one of his fantastic colon castings ;)
