breakfast of champions

i went down to the corner store at like 8am and there were the friendly, non-threatening older men sitting on the stoop drinking "four loco" which i looked at in the store, it's malt liquor that only comes in 20oz (ish) cans and contains 12% alcohol by volume, caffeine, ginseng, taurine - get drunk and awake! i am curious, i wonder if they work together and they meet in the morning or if they end their shift, or what, they don't seem homeless, but i don't know. i've said it b4 and say it again, i kinda want to hang with them. instead of buying creamer, buy a four loco and see what their world is like for a little bit.

i've been doing mad school work, yo. i got uber prepared and made a calendar for the 6weeks of this class. it seems so much more manageable! and has totally reduced anxiety, instead of being like, 'ok, i have to due something by today, what is it?' and look through the syllabus frantically making sure i am on the right week...now, i just look at the calendar each day and do the stuff that's listed. neat.

and and i also did this for all of school. student teaching oct 2010 to feb 2011 which seems like i am a year behind. i did this based on what i thought the credits would translate to in time, so maybe i am wrong. i also haven't completed my 6 credits prior learning assessment which knocks off 12weeks which is like 3 months, ending student teaching nov 2010. i've been logging hours for interviews and stuff, maybe that is counting. i should find this out. the ed specialist has never called at a good time, either 8am and my phone isn't on yet, or mid day when i am busy doing errands or an interview or something and whenever i call her back she never answers, this last time i left her a message saying i would be available the whole afternoon as well as the whole next day between 11am and 5pm. she never called. meh.

i've been wondering why people have been saying lady gaga is a man. has no one seen her videos and photoshoots where she is in the buff and to me, clearly a woman. you can't see her vajajay, but you can see her boobs and shapely figure. whatever. i still like her even if everyone else does. i thought of maybe being her for halloween bc i want to make a hair bow. but i still like the care bear thing. woooo.

also, i have to ask, is this song and video about anonymity or being black or both? i read the lyrics (only at one site) and they seemed to have many words off.

Do the 4 loco. Life is too short not to indulge a time or two in someone else's story. It's one of the reasons I like to go somewhere and submerge myself (as much as I'm comofortable with) in other cultures... even other American cultures. It's fun. And the best stories come from personal adventure. Do it.

I use calendar organization with my writing pieces and find it incredibly helpful.

Yay!

i like that attitude. i mean, if it gets sketchy or is un-fun or weird or whatever i can leave. they've never followed me before, why now?

i like my calendar. i even got an analog organizer hand me down that i might use. it has a cell phone pocket! that's there big catch...
