I Do Notice You; I Choose To Ignore You

Human behavior is a strange thing. Psychologists have studied for years to try to pinpoint why a person does an certain thing or reacts a certain way. Do they know? I highly doubt it. You can predict the weather, you can predict the grammy winners, you can even predict elections. But the one variable in all of these is human behavior. You just never know what another person is going to do or say and completely throw everything off course and change the outcome.

I have pinpointed a few behaviors and why people do what they do. This guy I know has done nothing but cause trouble ever since I have known him, approximatly 10 years or so. He adds me to Facebook....I accept, you know some of those people you just have to accept because if you don't its going to spell drama. So I accepted him. I am here to report he is just as big of a loser and sad face as he was 10 years ago. He posts statuses trying to set people off, he makes friends with former students of mine from Hall who are now in high school....Thats just disturbing to me. I mean the first two or three that I noticed I thought oh he must be related, or oh maybe they are neighbors? Well if thats so he is neighbors or related to every female I taught.

Same said person often posts statuses trying to rile Kentucky fans up....most of the time his statuses dont even make sense....but then again...not much this loser has done makes sense. lol.

I finished the last 5 episodes of season 1 of Justified last night, I know, I done it backwards lol.The first season finale was very good as well. Not hardly as good as the second, but it was good none-the-less. Now I have to wait and see when I can download or buy the third season once they have all aired. Its SO GOOD.

I still haven't changed that light in the entryway. I need to go get a ladder and do that. I've been attempting to clean some this weekend as I go, that way I wouldn't have to spend all evening cleaning house today...but it appears I am still going to have to spend a good deal of time cleaning.

The 100th day of school is Tuesday. I won't be at school that day. I have some sort of FBA training at central office that day. Joy. Hopefully it won't be too bad. The last one wasn't all that bad in fact.

HOLY CRAP

So I know I said I would probably finish season 2 this weekend....I finished it just now. Once I started watching, I couldn't stop. O M G!!!!! That is probably one of the best season finales of a tv series I have ever watched. WHOA I am just....wow.....I cant wait to see what happens in season 3!

Today....Idk why I am just now getting around to posting an entry for today. I havent really been doing anything. I am so glad its the weekend. I want to just stay in my house and not come out until Monday morning at 7:12. Yes, 7:12 because that is the last possible minute that I can leave for work and still make it there on time. Given ideal traffic conditions of course. I guess tomorrow will be a day of cleaning? I still have a spiral Christmas tree in my yard I need to get down....Maybe I should do that? Oh and that light in the entry way still hasn't been changed. Maybe I should get on that? Maybe?

I bought some Pepsi throwback today. And let me just say Thank you Pepsi Corporation for providing me with a tasty beverage made from REAL sugar. I <3 you.

I Wonder If They Even Realize?

  • Jan. 27th, 2012 at 2:16 AM
winter
My students are so random I love it. Today, this kid was just talking to himself I suppose, (no one else was around) and he says "I wish I was a screaming bottle rocket" rotfl. Oh children, there is never ever two days alike in the third grade that's for sure.

I'm already on the tenth episode of season 2 of Justified. Yes, I know I am flying through this show and will be completely caught up by the weekend's end I am sure.

People who get on Facebook and proclaim republican candidate X as their candidate and that they will be voting for them in May. I wonder if these people realize that if they are registered as a Democrat that they can only vote in the Democrat Primary? That cracks me up. I can't wait to see how this election turns out. This could be an interesting year.

Never sell your hen on a rainy day

  • Jan. 26th, 2012 at 6:52 AM
winter
According to channel 18 its going to be a rainy couple of days. I always get so sleepy when it rains while I am at work. So far its not started raining here just yet. I can't wait to get this school day over with and come home and watch 3 more episodes of Justified. I am literally hooked on that show so far.

We have something called a winter break coming up in February. These days were scheduled as possible make-up days but since we haven't missed many days so far, as far as I know, we are still going to get this mini-break. It's a Friday and a Monday. I am starting to look forward to it actually. This school year has really went by so quickly so far.

There is an article on Yahoo.com linking low IQ and conservative beliefs to racism....to this article I say....Big Shock! Some of the remarks some of the Republican candidates for President have made have been completely ignorant. I can't imagine how a good Christian person could vote for someone who makes remarks like this.

I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to do over spring break -- if anything. I kind of want to get out on the road and drive some....but at the same time I could use that money to go toward other things. Right?

So far I have watched the first 8 episodes of season 1 of Justified and I am currently starting the fifth of the second season. It's really intense. I LOVE it. I wish I had have watched it sooner. I can't believe this has been out for almost 2 years and I missed out on it. Thank goodness for season sets! I guess I need to buy my own since these are ones that I have borrowed from my mom.

The State Of The Union

  • Jan. 25th, 2012 at 6:37 AM
winter
"The politics of envy, the politics of dividing our country is not what America is all about." -- House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio..... How about the politics of fairnes Mr. Boehner? Why in the world would a MILLIONAIRE like Mitt Romney pay a lesser tax rate than me? a public school teacher? Isn't that the politics of dividing our country? The haves v.s the have nots has gotten out of control. How can a man in power defend this? Mitt Romney's effective tax rate was less than 15%....A million dollars to a man of that wealth is less of an impact on his budget than say a thousand dollars on mine. Statements like the one Mr. Boehner made last night are reasons why I will probably NEVER vote for a republican in a presidential race. They preach about President Obama and the democrats preaching class warfare.....Well if this isn't class warfare on their part I don't know what is. Mr. Boehner I don't envy anyones wealth. But I do expect everyone to pay their fairshare. If my tax rate is 25% their tax rate should be 25%.

I saw so many rude and obnoxious posts last night about the state of the union address. Our president is not respected by those who didn't vote for him. No matter if he was your choice or not he is still the leader of the greatest nation in the world and you are stuck with him for at least the next 12 months.

I'm ready for snow. This winter is ridiculous and depressing. Where are you old man winter?

Generic Citizen X Sucks

  • Jan. 24th, 2012 at 8:10 PM
winter
Maybe someone out in cyberland can help me understand something that I have experienced on Facebook this week. Generic Citizen X (someone who knows who I am but really doesn't know me ) adds me to facebook. Generic Citizen X likes several of my statuses and what-not. Generic Citizen X deletes me as a friend. What purpose was served? I can't understand people and why someone would be so pathetic. Generic Citizen X needs to get his/her act together.

Today was a good day. I got up an hour early and took advantage of that by going out by Harlan-way and enjoying some fine Arby's breakfast. What a nice way to start a Tuesday? I also took in some awesome sunrise visions as I was traveling back toward Pennington Gap and work. It was truly a beautiful morning!

I've skipped the last 5 episodes of season 1 of Justified and went on to season 2. I have so far watched the first two episodes of the season and it's pretty good....well great....a lot more of this season so far has taken place in Harlan County and while I like to think the majority of my friends and neighbors don't sound/act/look like these people in this show.....It's still very entertaining. I'm sitting here typing this, in the dark and my cats are all three watching me. I wonder what they think I am doing?

My Tax Rant

  • Jan. 24th, 2012 at 12:37 AM
winter
It behooves me as to how the federal government can say that someone deserves more of a refund than the amount of taxes they pay in any given year. I don't get that. I just done my taxes.....and roughly I got back about a fourth of what I paid in.....Now I am very thankful for that refund. Thats going to be put to good use....But I know people who work just long enough to file taxes out of the year, file their taxes and claim their kids and get back like 10 times the amount they paid in to begin with. Something is wrong with this system here. Right?

I Must Admit, I Am Addicted

  • Jan. 23rd, 2012 at 6:58 AM
winter
I ended up watching the first three episodes of Justified last night. I had planned to only watch the first two but once I sat down and started watching I couldn't stop. Everyone that I have heard talk about the show says that it gets better as it goes on. So I guess I will watch the fourth and fifth episode tonight to see if that holds true atleast that far. I hope even more if it takes place in Harlan as the season goes on.

I dread work this week but at the same time I am kind of ready to get it over with. It seems like once you get Monday and Tuesday over with in the work week the rest goes by pretty fast. Is it bad that I am already planning a nap this evening when I get home? Yeah, I'm not sure thats a good sign. It sounds like its coming a monsoon outside right now.

Justified

  • Jan. 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 PM
winter
I finally broke down and started watching Justified. The show is set in and around my hometown of Harlan, Kentucky. So far I have watched the first two episodes. So far, I enjoy it pretty well. Now thats not to say I dont find some indescresions in the way my hometown is portrayed in the stories. First of all, I have lived here most of my life and I have never ran into a white sepremeisist in town. Secondly, the way the characters act its like a 30 minute drive to Lexington....now in reality we all know its more like a 2 hour and 30 minute drive at best. Thirdly ( is that a word? ) What happened to the mountains around this town that is suppose to be Harlan? I did find something that is truly Harlan and that is on the title screen on the credits, the background image is a photograph of downtown Harlan from Ivy Hill. That was pretty neat to find. I guess its pretty neat to know that a show thats actually a pretty big success is set in my hometown. I can't wait to watch the rest of season 1 and season 2.

I need to get in the bed pretty soon I guess....Mondays are always so tiring, I guess that's because I spend all weekend being lazy.
