So. Small Strokes was spammed. There are links to purchase drugs showing up in almost a years’ worth of posts. And I didn’t put them there.
I contacted my host company, and they…

Teachers make too much money! →

Are you sick of high paid teachers? Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year! It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - baby sit! We can get that for less than minimum wage.
That’s right. Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly...
Ok, ok... I'm done poetry spamming your...

For Degas
When you watched those dancers, were they flattered? Being the performers that they were, did they drink in your attention and delight in your adoring eyes, flirting with your manhood?
Perhaps they showed off a little, stretching their long legs a little longer and pointing their toes a little harder and holding in their stomachs more than usual.
Or were they disturbed by your scrutiny- ...
Never Again
After the fall, when you and I are huddled together, trying to keep the cold from our bones, the agony is not because of the fall, or the cold, but because of the realization that never again will my love be enough.

I have found out what you are like
I have found out what you are like autumn
Whose tickling fingers play quietly overnight leaving just enough sign to signal an arrival with cold breath breathing lifting the pressure, pushing hot summer away. Then you come, come closer trumpeting your assumption in violent reds and yellows, fire and brimstone and crisp air, the sun punching every branch, every leaf which, in...

Go home and write A page tonight. And let that page come out of you – Then it will be true
Search deep into your soul, Through your thoughts and your goals. Write something you know is True – And don’t be afraid of what makes you YOU.

“Are you serious? I thought we were reading a poem today...
Reading over some of my old poetry from two years ago. I did a poem-a-day challenge through the month of February with some friends and former students. I’ve surprised myself at how well put together some of the poems are. Two years ago, when I was writing the poems, I thought they were haphazardly thrown together.
And then I remember how much I enjoyed writing poetry every day. Just...
Spam Links: A Quick Update →
If you’re perusing through my site and you happen to see links to purchase drugs online or something of the sort in the text of my posts, please know that I did not put those there….

I will never buy a Kindle. I look at the Kindles, the Nooks, and the e-books of the world with the kind of distaste saved for the eating of a sour fruit or an overly cologned gentleman at a bar. These electronic ‘download your book’ devices upset me and I am…

Not sexist jokes- sexism and comedians. :) thanks!
I need some sources on sexism and comedy. I know there was quite a bit about this circling the internets a while back - can you help a girl out and send me some links?

teachingtoday:
Today a student approached my co-worker. She sat down with her at homeroom, an unusual thing for her to do. She started asking odd questions. She was telling my friend how she was hanging out with two boys yesterday (“What were you doing?” Smirk.) and she can’t remember anything that happened…
A million times, yes.
reachingtheshore replied to your post: Grilled pork chops, linguine with red bell…
I love that it’s quick-brined grilled pork chops. Since when is not part of brining quick?
I don’t even know what “brined” means!
Student: Miss. You're a lot calmer this semester.
Me: You're a lot more mature this semester.
Student: *farts*
Me: Maybe I spoke too soon.

I’m only watching the Super Bowl commercials because I flat out refuse to know or understand anything about football. So ask me some questions?
hubbit replied to your photo: I love cups and saucers. Always have. Not sure…
This was coffee in my grandparents’ house. Sipped from small, wide-top cups nestled in saucers. Today I gulp mine from a mug twice that size.
Aww, yea. :) We have everyday mugs that are twice the size of the one in that photo, but sometimes I just really like the idea of a saucer. It makes me feel grown up, I...

There are so many stupid things wrong with this.

Someone PLEASE ask me some things today. It’s snow day #2 and I’m soooo bored. Even if you don’t have a Tumblr you can ask anonymously right? Ask! Please!
