I Failed Today
I promised myself that I would not yell in the classroom today. It was a promise that I was not able to keep. It feels like I failed today. In a few weeks I will need to start writing report cards. I have been getting quite frustrated lately with my students. It is getting really […]

River of Distraction
Part 3 of my novel has been the hardest part for me to write. I worked on it last night for a few hours and got up to page 187. I’m still house-sitting. I’ve been working on their laptop computer. They also have the Internet here so I have gotten distracted and gone web-surfing a […]

Positive Hip Hop Promotion
I don’t think enough people are promoting hip hop in a positive nature. It is easy to focus on the negatives but there is a lot more that hip hop has to offer. Last week, I wrote about a reality show that taught about hip hop culture in a respectful and true way. As a […]

Save My Favourite Show
CBS has decided not to renew Jericho. It’s a shame because it is the best thing I have seen on television in years. I know that it is extremely difficult to change the network’s mind once it has made a decision. I know this. But I also know that this is a show worth fighting […]

Rude Awakening
My dad once told me that locks only keep honest people out. If someone really wants to break in, a lock will not stop them. I know this from experience. Last night was the most recent experience. I was sleeping over at someone else’s house. They had asked me to house sit while they were […]

(White) Rapper Show
I don’t normally like the reality show genre. Ego Trip’s The (White) Rapper Show is just the latest in a long line of these shows. The difference about this one is that it is a show that represents hip hop culture in a respectful way. I like the way the word white is in parenthesis. […]

Beauty is Everywhere
Beauty is everywhere. It’s hard to see sometimes though because we get so caught up in the daily grind. We seem to be so busy and moving so quickly here and there, doing this and that, that we miss so much. I remember the first time I saw American Beauty. I was taken by a […]

Runnning with Tag-Alongs
There is something about running that is very hard to explain. I absolutely love it. It gives you something that you can’t get any other way. It is a totally freeing activity. I can’t understand why more people don’t run. Don’t they know how good it feels? I run what is called middle distances. I […]

Happy Mother’s Day
It’s Mother’s Day and I can’t get home to see my mom. I will call her in the morning but it doesn’t feel like enough. So I thought I’d write a tribute to my mom in my blog. Mom, Being a mother has to be a difficult joband one that probably doesn’t come with enough […]

Internet Community Violates Privacy
There is a movement spreading through the World Wide Web. It is coming to us from sites such as myspace and facebook. There are hundreds of websites that bring together large groups of people who collectively form a community. I must confess that I don’t really understand this community movement online. Facebook is one site […]
