!Why Here?

I wish that I was in Jagersveld
You cannot denounce it
With all there is to do
This place holds it

Peaceful and calm
Biking or swimming
Though sitting or more
Enjoyment prevails

What Life May Bring

If I only had a dollar for every time a student said that I had confused them. Of course, I get paid much more than that but a few more bucks never hurt. My students really seem to confuse themselves. Somehow, that becomes my fault because I am not telling them the correct answer. But then I go to my graduate course at night and get a dose of the same. So life, at least seems to be symmetrical if not centrifugal. I just want to get to the good stuff. I hear that I am young but I feel too old to be taking $#&@ from kids half my age.

But what really would happen if they understood me? Epiphany or travesty?

Why This?!

I sometimes find it hard to comprehend that we are stuck here. Why do people hate life so much? Why would a person get up in the morning and go through steps to get ready for the day? Getting their created little people off to a useless hole in the earth and then themselves driving across a mobbed town to lavish into an overly useless hole. Slash your wrists, take some pills, or just stay home. And just why did you procreate. Maybe that is just what is wrong with this earth. The people with all of the why's abstain from creating people for the slaughter while the rest just revel in their feces. Are we that much a part of the dark one that we will punish a kid who is not provided with the proper clothing? Forgetting all the while that the Pure one looks on as we celebrate the travesty that we have made out of His Gracious gift of life.

No Way

I just found out that this 'death thing' applies to me!

I have been reading Steve Martin's biography, Born Standing Up.
A great book. It is refreshing to read a book about a seemingly iconic figure. I also identify with his comedy and feel that most people do not get my humor like people did not get his.

Of course they laughed at him anyway but laugh at me in a different way.
