How much education is really worth to America...

One of the many fringe benefits of teaching in L.A....

Wow! How generous of Kleenex! Another great corporation investing in America's future! Don't forget that teachers end up spending the most money on their brand anyways. I myself have gone through ten boxes this year! Not to mention, two boxes in the last week.

Well, this horrendous virus has kept me down for the last week, and as a result I haven't spent much time editing my book. For those of you who care I'll be posting sample chapters from my book at the month regardless if I finish the last edit or not. In the mean time keep reading the blog. I'm going to start blogging about my substitute teaching experience, although the best episodes from my experience have already been incorporated into the novel.

Stay well,

It's a Sad, Mad World

R.I.P

Man, it's crazy to think that I subbed for this kid a couple years ago. He was about to go to Stanford with a full-scholarship. Instead, some fucking dirt-bag, knuckleheads shot him down dead in front of his house. Shit doesn't make any sense. What's wrong with this country?

Can't we all just get along...?

It's unfortunate that the Democrats can't even get along anymore. A joint ticket would make for a sure win, while a single ticket makes it a lot easier for McCain to win. And while Obama deserves a shot at the Presidency in reality he's not ready. If he could swallow his pride and join up with Hillary they'd be a formidable match-up with her know how and his charisma. Not to mention, they'd draw most of the independent and a Democrat voters to their side. In addition, Barack could learn the ropes and gain experience while serving with Hillary. It's conceivable that he could spend the next 16 years in the White House (eight as Hillary's vice-president and eight as president when she opts out). Granted, that would mean they'd have to win two elections, and he'd have to follow up by winning his own two elections. But that'll never happen because of foolish pride.

Oh well, it was just a thought. But if McCain wins they'll both be kicking themselves for not joining up for the sure victory instead of being hard headed politicians who want all the glory for themselves. Here's an idea: put your money where your mouths are and do what's best for the American people. Does that entail bickering and tearing each other down for the next few months (doing the Republicans a favor)?

The American Way: It's only Wrong if you get caught...

Like the boys in TOOL said in one of their songs from the Opiate album-what a Jerk Off. I bet he's thinking of some bullshit excuse that he can use to cover his ass, while simultaneously thinking how he can keep bangin' hookers in his spare time. Just another respectable, rich American loaded with honor and values. No wonder this country is fucked.

The Huckster loses faith...

I guess Jesus, Chuck Norris, a few miracles, and some cool looking retro-uzis weren't powerful enough to overthrow Satan and his Dogs of War.


I love you Satan, you're all soft and cuddly. It makes me want to shut my eyes and imagine a hundred years of war.

And the winner is!

Big Ass, No Tits...

Congratulations on subjecting your body to the scrutiny of millions of asshole Americans!

Girl would have never made it as a stripper in L.A. Inglewood, maybe. Minnesota, definitely.
Good thing this girl can write.

I wonder how many dirty old men in Minnesota are telling stories in a bar right now about how they got a lap-dance from an Oscar winner?

That's not to say I wouldn't totally rock that. Well, if I didn't already have a girlfriend. God damn it, I just can't help myself. She's going to kill me for saying that.

No hard feelings, Diablo. First your body, then your mind, and finally your soul. Welcome to L.A. Stay clean, baby. If you turn into the Amy Winehouse or Brittany Spears of writing I'm going to shoot myself. Anyways, we all love you so. Keep up the great work!
