Tree.

I've been up awhile, occasionally checking on the weather.  Then just I looked out into the rain/snow mix and saw that a big damn redbud tree in the front yard has been uprooted and now it's laying on its side.

Several years ago this tree got pushed over a bit, just enough to mess up the front walk which I had to fix (actually a friend fixed it) because the insurance company got on my case.  From what it looks like 15 feet away, I think it missed the sidewalk or could be the rebar he put into the concrete might have saved the walk; it's hard to tell with the snow covering it.

Sigh.  It's always SOMEthing. (pity party in progress)

Wow, how time flies.  More than three years since my last post here.  WooHoo!

I had more to write here but I got distracted by someone else getting up this morning, and forgot what I was about to post.

Oh, yeah, maybe it had something to do with my short term memory, with which I seem lately to have issues.

Things are better than they were.

I think everybody should feel better today.

I read another xanga (jw) page about how much I Hate Math.

When the truth comes out, I hope nobody realizes that in a way, so do I.

I've used, taught, conquered over nearly the whole archdiocese of Chicago, and basically rocked at doing math, and one-on-one I'm about the best tutor around.

When it comes to trying to teach a whole class, it is hell.  These kids -- some do care, some don't.  I went crazy over some of the shit those kids pulled, thinking it was funny when it really disrupted my plans and kept us from completing the class as scheduled.  Not to mention, I had to become the Bad Guy to poor kids who had totally fucked up teachers before they even got to me.  These teachers also love math, but they don't listen to their students' questions so they can't teach.  It's backwards -- they can do but they can't teach.

Sometimes I wish I could just say "fuck math" and it would go away, but then again that math -- or rather my ability to use it for gain -- ....

That brings up another issue.  Look at where it got me, and look at how many people I've pushed away just trying to do my job.  I want to scream at times but it won't help, so I just have to say, "wow,"  ---------- and get on with life I guess.  Somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do because I really don't care anymore...  it's all good.
