What would you have done:

Student A: " Girl, you gotta whole lotta weave in your hair!"
Student B: " You gotta whole lotta ugly on your face!"

Uggggh, I barked at them both and took 2 points off their " participation and citizenship" grade. But when I turned around I had to hide my face because I was laughing so hard. Man, that was GOOD! The timing was amazing. When I was in school, I got made fun of on the bus. A lot. My big frizzy hair and my cry-baby sentimentality was just tooo easy. I would lie awake at night and try to think of come-backs, just to have some stored up for when the next show-down happened. But I could never have come up with " you gotta a whole lotta ugly on your face". Comedic gold.

Saw "V for Vendetta"...was actually really good. I was expecting that comic booky crap, but it so was not. Natalie Portman also has the right shaped skull and frame to be able to go around bald. Under my mounds of hair, I have a smallish head and a very un-dainty neck. I would look like a man.

I got hooked on jasmine rice when I got hooked on Thai food. Thai food is my crack cocaine. I now make my own jasmine rice, which is light, fluffy, and fragrant. I will never go back to plain old rice, and will only eat brown once in awhile.

Mike, I read your blog, just know that I am rooting for you...I've always admired your ability to roll with the punches and just be happy. It will be interesting to see where you go next. However, Midland/Odessa will lose probably 80% of its cool factor if you go. Ranchers, oil men, and house wives who live on that stretch of road you drive your fancy red car down everyday will stand outside scratching their heads, " Now where's my daily 'yellowcard'? "Where's that dang ol city boy with the punk rock n' roll tunes rattlin' the windows wakin' me up at 6 AM?" The few clandestine liquor stores will lose revenue with your absense; " The Bar" and that random dance club out in that field will have to eventually shut down what with your posse disbanded. ...Maybe you should rethink your plans. ;)

And in other vague politicalness,
" legalize, don't criminalize."

peace out
