Watching football today, saw the refs in their zebra outfits and thought of Footlocker. I'm thinking I might change my career path and start working at footlocker. I look great in the zebra shirt and it'd be fun to go to work with a whistle and call fouls and charges and throw flags on the customers. Just an idea I'm pondering.


Also in the process of pondering my future, I've thought about my kids. They don't exist yet, but will someday. I'd like to be an open minded parent and allow them to choose a career path of their choice and go for their dreams. However, under no circumstanes will my boys be allowed to pursue a career in figure skating. Brian Boytano is one cool dude. I just don't want my kid to be that cool.

Ponder on.

Every 2nd period I have to take a shit. I feel it brewing at 6:30 or so aftger my morning cup of coffee. Where'd the sleep go. What's sleep anyways - something that doesn't exist after college apparently. I need a job that allows more sleep. That's how I determined my major, history, anyways. No classes before 10 a.m. Most history courses began at 10:45, which gives me just enough sleep if I actually decide to go to Professor Bowling's lecture. But for now, I'm up at 6:30, sleeping is history, sub teaching tomorrow's leaders presently. There could be another George Bush in here? Or another Abraham Lincoln - one of Bush's many teachers - right?

I feel the shit brewing before I go to school, but I figure why start now, it's not completely ready to come out, and we all know (all, being men; women don't brew) if you push too soon, when the poop doesn't want to be born yet, it will be premature and you'll have to make a couple visits to Jon before I can stop worrying about one of the little shits yelling "Who farted?".

So I wait until 3rd period, often my prep. Subs need this prep more than real teachers. Real teachers would leave the classroom prolly period one and take care of business - why? because they're experienced, or at least been there long enough to know when nature calls, you answer - and don't give a SHIT about stinking up the hallways for passerbys on way to 2nd period. Lincoln would have gone lst period. Bush wears diapers - the only reason I can think of for him standing like that.

Flipping through New Yorker today, as most sub teachers do. I came across an advertisment about AIDs awareness. In the picture, there are a bunch of celebrities (Fresh Prince, Elton John, Elton's John, Alicia Keys). Across the picture, in bold, is a slogan "We All Have AIDS - If One of Us Does". This is kind of a play on words with Doctor King's, "If there is an injustice anywhere, there is an injustice everywhere". I applaud these famous people for speaking out about such a horrible disease -- but -- if you take a closer look at the picture. The celebs are barefoot. We all have AIDs if one of us does and now "We All Have Foot Fungus because Elton John Does". Thanks John and Fresh Prince. Although not an athlete anymore, I have the feet of one - Athlete's Foot - previously thought of as a myth by me. Never known anyone with the athlete's foot, have you? Secondly, it's tough being an athlete with "a" foot - two of them is essential, ask Tyson.
