Tumblr

I'm starting to think I should make a Tumblr. Especially after seeing the characters from Workaholics have their own pages. There seems to be a lot of funny stuff on that website. I don't know if I am ready to join another website that's kinda similar to this one. It seems a little too cool for me. I'll just keeping blogging boring stuff in the mean time

Appearance


This post really upset me today. I can't stand people who judge others by appearance. What is she doing that is so wrong? Does she really deserve to have a photo of her posted with rude comments?
 
This just reminds me of why I don't have many friends at CLU. Looks like individuality is not welcomed at this school. You must have blonde hair, a fake tan and enjoy listening to Miley Cyrus to get along with everyone else. I don't fit in this category so I'm just the creepy guy with the mustache. I was literally told this by someone and they happen to be friends with person who posted this photo. They knew nothing about me but yet they already had a label for me. I thought I wouldn't run it to things like this in college but it seems like Jerks never change. 

I'm just glad there are some people that saw what was wrong with this post. I wish I could write about her response to some of the comments at the end but she deleted me. I happen to be one of the likes for the comment that says "this is fucked up." So I'm guessing she didn't like that. I'm happy she deleted me. I don't want to be friends with judgmental jerks.

Be careful when like-ing righteous comments it might get you deleted.

A Million Dollars

What if someone very close to you was given a million dollars but had to give it away and that person was you, what would you do with the money?

Would you buy your dream car? Would you buy a home? Would you invest the money? Would you live the life you've always wanted?

When asked this question normally a person thinks of all the things they could buy and do for themselves. But what about the person that gave you the million dollars in the first place? Would you do anything for them? Would you have any thoughts of sharing the money with them or buying them anything? I asked a few people this question and just found it interesting that it seemed like the person who gave them the million were last on their mind.

Corners

I'm currently reading a book about teaching and it's funny seeing connections from the book to my life. The book is called "The Greatest Catch" by Penny Kittle. The book is about teaching but I think other readers can benefit from this book too. So far its an amazing book talking about her successes in teaching but also her failures.


"When you're teaching you're going to see people who cut corners, don't work as hard as they should, or just complain all the time about everything. I believe you've got to do what's right, every single day of your life, even if the rest of the crowd isn't.


It makes me think of the people I have run into that cut corners and look for the easy way out, even if it has negative effects on others. "No one else is working so why should I." or "No one is looking so no one will know what I have done" You should try and stay away from people like this, they will only bring you down with them. I'm sure everyone has cut corners before or still do I know I am guilty too but there are things that one must realize the effects you can have on yourself and others. I could sit at work all night and do my homework if I wanted to but then I would leave more work for everyone else. No one is watching me so no one will know except me.  Even if no one is watching you must do the right thing it matters even if its just you that knows that you have done what's right.  As a teacher you must realize that you have to do what's right because the kids are depending on you. This applies to other things in life when others depend on you.

ILL Photos and Designs

Just thought I'd post something interesting on here. Illyssa is going to be attending The Brooks Institute pretty soon to get a BFA in Photography! Here's a link to her photo and design page on Facebook.

I can't wait to see how her portfolio will look later. This is the next big step for her and I couldn't be happier for her
