define irony

i guess i could take steve buscemi's definition from con-air, "a bunch of idiots on a plane dancing and singing to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash", or i could quote alanis, "it's like raaaaiiiiaaan on your wedding day. it's a free ride when you've already paid", but the true definition of irony is the fact that the little girl at our school who won the D.A.R.E essay contest, by telling us that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs had messed up her family's life was suspended for two days for bringing cigarettes and a lighter to school. isn't it ironic....doncha think.

on a lighter note, amy and i are off of work for 2, count em 2 whole weeks. this is one thing i do like about teaching school is the time off. i know a lot of people schedule their vacation time during the holidays so they can travel with their kids, this really isn't vacation, because we don't get paid when we aren't there, but time off is time off. hope you all are doing well. if i haven't sent you the o holy night mp3 yet, leave me a comment and i'll shoot it to you.

later

thanks davo

i wasn't thinking when i wrote that. you are correct, it is "wookin po nub". eddie murphy on snl. some very classic moments. "oohh dat must be da landlord. boys and dirls, our word fo next week is eviction....can you say eviction?"

"mr. robinson and santa both visit yo house on Christmas eve only he leaves things....i take em."

man good times.
yo, break me off some of dat.

have a good one.

i've come to the conclusion that i do not like shania twain.

we caught part of nick and jessica's christmas special being rerun on mtv last night. i had to change the channel, because she is a horrible actress and is well.....dumb.

ok add her to my not like too much list for reality shows. i don't like her sister's show too much.

i did forget to mention that one of my favorite shows on tv is "monster house" i don't know why i like it, but i do.

i should be a dj with as much pop culture i know and as much tv as i watch. i could fill up a morning talk show, and i would be much cleaner than some of the junk they have on.

oh well, gotta go.

have a good one

why can't someone come up with an original reality tv idea

so fox comes out with "trading spouses" then abc has "wife swap". abc came out with "extreme makeover" fox comes out with "the swan". fox has "nanny 911" and then last night on abc, i see an ad for "super nanny" i mean come on folks, lets at least get original. i'm sure there are many more. many "bacheloresque" lookin po nub type shows. the only reality tv i truly like still is "survivor" and of course the grandaddy of them all "the real world" i really don't like this season very much. there isn't anyone that drives me nuts. not enough drama. but maybe i haven't watched it enough. there's no "frankie" that's for sure. as much as i didn't like her, she made the last season.

which brings me to my next topic. people i hate on reality shows.

survivor
jerri manthey
boston rob
the old lady from the thailand season


real world
trishelle
coral
frankie
whiny girl from paris, i can't remember her name
adam from paris
i pretty much hated the whole paris cast except for ace and chris

trading spouses
all of the rich women
the one from grapevine especially
and the vegan lady

ok, here is the amazing thing about reality tv. it shows the dysfunction of other people, so i can look at their lives and say. hey i may be messed up, but there is no way i'm that messed up. i think that is the attraction of things like the jerry springer show as well. btw, i don't watch that.

ok i had something funny that kenedy said, but i can't remember. in late breaking news, kenedy taught herself to ride her bike.

pray for kenedy. she has trouble focusing at school. and not the typical 2nd grader immaturity focus, but real hard time. she is supposed to copy things off of the board and paper, and it just doesn't happen. like yesterday her teacher wrote "group practice" on the board and ken wrote "grup practis" i don't get it. she is extremely bright and reads very well. not great at math, but getting there. she makes mostly A's, so what is the problem? she learned to read phonetically which is the only way in my opinion, but she spells that way too. anyway, pray for her and us that God will show us how to handle her lack of focus and absentmindedness. for a minute there i thought i was talking about me. she comes by it honestly

all for now. have a great day. i encourage you to hit the next blog button at the top of your blog, or my blog. you never know what you'll get. amy clicked it the other day and got an italian lady standing in a doorway in her birthday suit. i've never found that one. i have found christian hill, personal injury lawyer's blog on 2 occasions.

God Bless

well we just got back

from the texan's game. (which they lost) so now i have been to at least one game of every houston sports team. rockets last winter. astro's this fall. aero's two weeks ago (i dropped the puck) and now the texans. so much thanks to ms. countryman's husband who decided to go hunting and hook me up with his tix. we were in the lower level in the end zone opposite the bull pen. david carr is a bonehead. he can't make a good decision to save his life. oh and there were two colossally bad calls by the ref's, but you know they have to take care of peyton. he IS the man. so that's all i have for now.

i was asking kenedy about her party she went to at the cordes' last night and she was telling me about a little girl that amy and i met as well. she said we have to be patient with this little girl and that she's one of those kids who takes medicine and just stares at you and doesn't listen very good. you know she has a hard time paying attention.

ok, now that i'm blogging i may as well keep going. there are so many little things. karson told me her banana was melting the other day.

ever notice how kindergarten kids tell really bad knock knock jokes? or when children are sitting on the floor and they think something is funny there is the obligatory "roll back and kick your legs in the air while you laugh hysterically out of control" i mean was it that funny? i mean what if i did that. i think it's just an excuse to kick their legs in the air. sometimes they kick other people. knock knock.....who's there......howie.....howie who......howie gonna get kids to quit kicking their legs in the air when they laugh?
