so it seems i've found my berries.

i've been sick. a cold has gotten the better of me, and my snot filled nasal cavity has put some overdue pressure on my brain, it seems. sitting in bed, no time but the few hours each day i've been able keep myself awake, and a good book of poetry have gotten creative juices (as with a fair deal of muccus) flowing.


Area 51.

the US millitary base, built decades ago but only recently aknowledged by the "higher-ups" as existing, has more cover up conspiracy, and government ill-doing theories swirling around it than the Kennedy assassination. people wouldn't care nearly as much about what is or what is not going on up at groom lake, nevada, if the D.O.D. position of utter denial had been altered.

i'm losing my train of thought to nyquil induced dementia, so i'll get to the point.


information.

in the "information age," the population of this country seems staggeringly out of touch. before you go writing letters, i'm not on about our election. although our current President doesn't exactly ring true with me as "adequitely informed" for his high position (the man could pick up a newspaper, now and again), i'd say the problem is with our basic, in the bones, deep-down thirst for knowledge; we're losing it. the fact that "ivy league liberals" are painted as such by their rivals to score political points in rural voting districts, and the fact that it seems to work, is terrifyingly loud in screaming that our children are in trouble. public education is in the crapper.

since when did a c-average, being plain spoken and a "regular joe," while decidedly ignoring educated journalism, and promising to beat up countries that looked at us funny add up to a presidential campaign?

when did respect for education die? and no, this is not a partisan matter. i'll take an educated [whatever] over an "aw shucks" pandering democrat any day.

wasn't i getting to a point?

if you can, do. if you hope our children can, teach.





i'm not sure how, but i've found where my feet will fall.

i want to be a teacher.
