So, I start student teaching KINDERGARTEN tomorrow!! WOW WEE WOW WOW!! Excitement? Yes! Shere terror? Yes! Sleep? In a few minutes.

Ok, now that I have that out of my system, guess what? The crocodile hunter died! A stingray apparently got him. I feel bad, but at the same time, that's kinda what happens when you piss off all the deadly animals on the planet. Anyway, rest in peace, crocodile guy. I'll stick my thumb up that croc's butt in your memory.

So yesterday was Elvis Aaron Presley's death day. In tribute, a few of us including my friend Scott got together and had an Elvis' death day dinner. We had fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, cheeseburgers, french fries, banana pudding, frosted brownies (3x3 each), creamed onions, and macaroni with extra velveeta cheese. We also took turns reading the infamous Hamburger James story.

Nothing like old, fat Elvis, and greasy food. I'm glad I rode my bike yesterday.....

So, I got my placement today. I'm going to be student teaching this semester as a Kindergarten teacher. My mother suggested I re-watch Kindergarten Cop. Yeah, sage advice there. At least I HOPE my sarcastic comment is valid. This school is 75% latino, and I may be teaching the English language as a whole, not to mention reading/writing. Cat. Sat. Mat. At. Fat.

I R a teacher! How weird.

Oof! That's a lot of miles! But I'm doing it for cancer research, so that makes it totally worth it! Please check out my fundraiser website and leave a donation. I'm walking out to Nevada otherwise, and these people are out a little more money.

The money goes to cancer research, which has made an incredible difference in the lives of so many already. Anyway, on to the internet website:

So, I took Kristy to the airport today. She's currently in the air, on her way to South Africa. She'll be gone for 3 months, and South Africa doesn't exactly have stellar internet/phone. So basically, yeah.

So, this week's CSI: Miami prompted me to look for sex offenders in my neighborhood. The episode dealt with a pedophile who gets murdered. There are three that live near me, one of which is a pedophile (the others were convicted of rape or something else, not kids). There are 5 who live near my parents. Only one of those MIGHT be a pedophile, but still. It's DISTURBING.

Anyway, if you're down for some real-life disturbance and live in Virginia, do a search in your area:

This Saturday I rode 30.6 miles in my second training ride of the season. To say I was tired that evening would be an understatement. 30.6 miles is hard when you're not in shape, BUT my butt was definatly not as sore as last week. So, that's a plus.

That evening Kristy and I went to Baltimore to celebrate my friend Reba's birthday. We met up with Scott and Steph and Rob who was visiting from Philly at Becca's "new" apartment. Her walls are almost the same color as my bedroom walls. This green that isn't TOO much, and really brings out the colors in wood. We carpooled into B-more and arrived at the Tapas restaurant, Pazo , where we spent a ton, ate a lot, and had a really good time. My favorites were the sangria , the asparagus, and the venison. MMM! And they had complimentary valet parking! Everyone had a great time, including Megan (she used to be in Doubletake back in the day w/ Becca) and Dave, this guy I don't know at all and was the youngest of the group.

We then hit up an "irish bar" which was really just a college bar in every sense of that phrase. Megan's husband showed up, and we all hung out for a while, but by 10:45, I was gettign seriously tired and Kristy and I still had to drive an hour to get home. All in all a good evening! It was good to see Rob and Megan, and to hang out for Becca's birthday. I think she had a good time, as she got wasted pretty quickly.

Found a funny acoustic song about how hard it is to be an evil overlord. Good instrumentation. Remeniscent of Steven Lynch.
