Only A Place You Can Go

Pain is alive in a broken heart
The past never does go away
We were born to love
And we're born to pay
The price for our mistakes

Grace, she comes with a heavy load
Memories, they can't be erased
Like a pill I swallow, he makes me well
And leaves an awful taste
Oh I know this song won't do
Enough to prove my love to you
In my heart you'll always know
There is a place only love can go
There is a place only you can go

Take my notions and words to heart
This is the cry of a man
I can't bring you fortune or noble life
But I'll love you all I can

Oh I know this song won't do
Enough to prove my love to you
In my heart you'll always know
There is a place only you can go

Oh I know this song won't do
Enough to prove my love to you
In my heart you'll always know
There is a place only love can go
There is a place only you can go

This is where I'm at right now

I'm a emotional mess

I have tears in my eyes as my students are resting after their standarized testing

and all I want to do is put in my ipod to drown out the racquetball of warring emotions going on in my head right now.

 

Breaker Breaker OH hell nawlin's

New Orleans

or the Cajun Kingdom deserves it's own post

more importantly the drivers of New Orleans deserve their own post

in the city limits there are now speed limit signs, just minimum allowable so picture this if you will, a car on your right going 40 and the car on your left going 100 mph.

not to mention, the random lane changes

the sudden stops

the overpasses and bridges

and you have a heart attack waiting to happen

I think i slammed on the invisible backseat driver break 17.9876 times in a matter of minutes

oh, and don't forget the random truck that blew through a red light a full minute after it changed.

luckily there was traffic or poor bertimus (my car) would have been T-Boned

Louisiana Please... Please.... Please set mandatory speed limits, and for the love of god fix your roads. Bertimus needs new shocks and struts after its tour of your fair city.

Other than the Traffic, you are a gem of a city and for my one reader so far here are few key words to keep you intrigued for my next post

Voo Doo Shops

Cemetery Tour

Palm Reading

St. Patrick

Touch Down Jesus

Beads

Gay Boys

Bourbon St

Dancing

Powdered Sugar Deliciousness

and Indiana Alumni in the fair city rooting for my Alma mater

Damn Yankee's (spring breaker part dos)

How do you spell Mississippi?

Do you mean the river or the state?

with that little gem, we ventured onward into Mississippi

and do you know what's fun to do

wikipedia the shiz nit out of each town you pass through

so navigator of the moment

who ever is not driving would wikipedia various towns for interesting facts

and when you get BORED of that

you make inappropriate jokes about the various billboards lining the highway

like the malion

a combo of a lion and a man's head

am i malion to ya?

absolutely not

we spent most of the afternoon driving down Mississippi, heading for the lower part of Bama to cut through to Florida.

We Loved Mississippi!

We nearly died in Alabama 3 times in the hour we were there.

and what the Helen Keller Alabama

how do you pronounce Mobile, Alabama

is

Mo Bull

Mo Bill

Mo Ball

Mo Bile

help a damn Yankee out

Spring Breakdown Part 1

I have always loved history, maybe because it came so easy to me.

I have always been an average student, never really excelling at much except for history, looking back though, I could have probably put in a little more effort on my end.

shh! don't tell my parentals :)

part one of my vacation started out at 6 am, with a stop over in Vicksburg, Mississippi

Why you ask, well the Vicksburg Military Park, the site of a Civil War Battle.

I teach about the Civil War, and only recently have learned to love the struggle in right vs. wrong, not to mention how the actions of a few can affect millions.

Besides today's generation is more concerned with the latest Call of Duty or the latest iPhone update not with military history from over a hundred years ago.

I felt like a tour guide, I even corrected a couple boy scout troops on their inaccurate history of the site, went on to have a picnic beside the national cemetery and realized that these men fought and died for an ideal that many today wouldn't even consider. It makes me sad for this generation, they will most likely not know what honor and duty mean, or what it means to sacrifice for an ideology. 

funny side note upon exiting Dallas it was cold and rainy, arriving at Vicksburg Military Park it was warm and sunny which would require a change into new clothing. So by the Illinois Monument honoring those who gallantly fought at Vicksburg, were two girls changing into shorts.

I ask my friend whether or not this is considered disrespectful and in all reality it most likely was, but her response was hilarious. Soldiers like semi-clothed girls, I'm assuming even dead ones like them too.

So to all of the civil war ghosts lingering there, you're welcome for my change from soccer pants to shorts I hope you liked my boy shorts.

now without further delay

here are some lovely photos of Vicksburg Military Park

Cotton Candy doesn't come from Cotton

I spend my time teaching the youth of americah!

We are currently on the subject of booming economies such as cotton, and as my students are realizing that machinery has revolutionized the agrarian process, I get a question wondering if cotton candy comes from cotton.

no sweetie it doesn't, cotton candy is spun sugar

can i be back here for another week

pretty please with a cherry on top!

I promise to be good

later gators

back to the wonderful world of cotton

it's the fabric of our lives

Spring Break 2012

I spent my week here

Destin, Florida

and in

It was exactly what I needed

I will update more later with the crazy things we did especially when I had a palm reading along with a tarot card reading

HE WAS SPOT ON

and gave me some insight into what I should do next

Many pics and updates to follow, but I must go teach about the cotton industry where I already had a student ask if Cotton Candy came from Cotton, so I have my work cut out for me.

Love you Blogosphere

more soon!

blogfail

so yeah, the last blog update was about two weeks ago

why you ask?

well let's see, I ended up with a severe sinus infection/cough from hades

I sounded like a twelve year old going thru the change

that turned into

strep

which makes me being sick for the last five weeks straight

hydrocodone cough syrup is a god send.

posts of epicness to return soon
