In the beginning (Original, I know)

I have had this idea of writing a blog for quite a while now.  But, the content is what is my problem.  The ideas are there, but it is just in what matter will these ramblings, thoughts, & ideas be presented.  With that out of the way, lets begin...

Dearest reader please bear (or bare) with with me as I try and muddle my way through these early ramblings.

They, whomever they are say that you need to know your audience, well in this case that is an impossibilty.  So I will tell you about me.  I will try to not make this sound like some shitty bio on a dating website (Although if I did, I would use Crash Davis' from Bull Durham.)

So I am the oldest child of a elementary school librarian, and a lifelong radio guy.  They recently celebrated their 39th anniversary, in today's world is a major accomplishment.  A sister have I, younger.  I have a wifee, kids, dogs, and a job. Politically I would say that I am a "fence walker." 

This would be the part in the shitty dating website bio where I would channel Crash Davis discussing, "long walks on the beach, and slow wet kisses that last for days" blah blah blah.

Currently, like Socrates, I am corrupting today's youth as a social studies teacher.  Think Sam Kinison from "Back to School" would be an accurate portrayl of my teaching philosophy. 

Yes, I like movies, if you hadn't noticed.  So there is no need to yell at your monitor something along the lines of, "Jesus, you hack, write something without using lines from a movie as a crutch." 

So, where was I? Yes, a oldest child who remembers actual events from the 1970's, a statement that gets me looks from my students like they are in the presence of some type of shaman.  Granted my students have no idea what a Shaman is, but it was the only thing I could think of without referencing a movie. 

Music, is probably my greatest love, next to sarcasm.  My musical taste is all over the road, Sinatra to Slayer!, Sabbath to Harry Connick Jr.  I am a  self proclaimed music snob.  If you like something that I find is drivvle, I will let you know, and basically tell you that your opinion means shit.  That I guess is the republican in me, things appear only as I say, no room for deviation.

I have tons of stories that will no doubt appear in some fashion, top ten lists, and just the stuff that runs through my brain.  So hear endeth the beginning.
