so the summer at the pool is officially over now and i have a week or so to get things in order before the school year begins. Over all the pool was ok only a few little issues i.e. accident and ticket leaving the pool. and so it is now time to really start saving again ( after paying for the accident and ticket) hopefully before too long i will have a new vehicle. Mom has a new puppy that i think is bipolar, one day she is great the next a pain in the ass the question is which one will be the ending result after this awkward puppy stage.

I know i am terrible at keeping this up to date but im working on it. So it is official I have my teaching credential and have finished my first year of teaching. Somehow i managed to avoid the first round of teacher cuts hopefully i can say that for the one that may happen in Aug. since the end of the school year i have been coaching college for kids diving where there are kids from around 7 to18 that i work with. I was also covering the dance recitals that take place every year at the college for my uncle how is trying to take it a bit easier after his heart attack. The most recent event is that a few friends were in need of someone to take photos for their wedding and somehow even tho i dont really like doing weddings i was volunteered for it i think there are a few that turned out ok. and now time for a bit of lazy with nothing pressing to do today

OK so im sitting in class right now thankfully the last one for this course. it has been one of the most difficult classes to deal with in quite some time, not due to the fact that the material is difficult in actuality the material is ridiculously mundane, and what i believe to be common sense. but its almost done only about 2 more hrs woo hoo.

ahhhhh so many things that i should have done while on break, and did i do them umm nope. ok wel some of them i did. i really didnt feel like it was a vacation and now that i can finally sleep past 8 am its back to work and waking up around 6. i am so not ready to go back to work tomorrow, and on top of that i have a bunch of stuff due for my ridiculous health class on tuesday argggg. well for those who actually had a break i hope it was a good one the countdown now begins for the end of the school year.

Year one Roller coaster

2009-04-14T12:45:00.000-07:00

Ok so it is true it has been forever. Well for those who know this has been my first year teaching high school (officially). There have defiantly been ups and downs so far and with only a bit over a month to go i will expect the roller coaster to continue. the first half of the school year went fairly smoothly only to lead to the non-sense of the second half. As we all know the economy is well not a pretty sight. so i spent a few months freaking out and fully expecting to gat a pink slip due to me being the "new guy". Somehow i managed to avoid that bullet ( for now) because of the economy they can still lay off teachers all the way untill August so i shall try not to stress about it. The question i pose to everyone tho is this. When did school become all about the BS of paper work, mind games, and burocracy instead of actualy teaching ? some how i have become known as the one that wont take crap in the art department and this is while trying to keep my mouth shut. so hopefully that is a good thing but only time will tell. for now i will try to find something to do while on my spring break.

So this is a photo oh a humming bird at a feeder that was taken a while ago at my older sis place. it is now my goal to take a better one than this. Although i think i did alright for my first attempt at the illusive bird.
the photo below hmm make a guess as to what it is.

ok so i wasnt gonna post again for a few days but this morning was rediculous i mean i went to coach at about 830 and it was already really warm on the verge of hot. and then i had to remide myself that smacking kids is not a good thing( yes that is sarcasm) but there were about 8 of the kids i coach that just were not listening at all this morining. then after that i had the joy of going over to my other job ( theater) where we tried to do a weeks worth of construction in a single day. any way so today was definatly a monday that never seemed like it would end. and the temp is only gonna go up from here.

Ahhhh so the first post. Well i'm basically just checking this out to see how it goes and if there is anyone out there that even cares enough to read my rants, or is just really bored.
Any way only three more weeks of coaching diving for the summer and I haven't made any of them bleed yet a few of them cry a bit yes but sorry it happens.
I just bought some new tools in the hopes of building canvasses without having to go somewhere else to do the work. a friend laura has talked with me about possibly having a joint show with her ceramics and my paintings. no lets see if i can get off my ass enough to get enough paintings completed. any suggestions as for subject matter???
this last week or so i have also been trying to get back to playing guitar a bit. i have learned a few songs that i do like such as I'm yours by jason mraz, and the joker by the steve miller band, the most recent is f-stop bues by jack johnson ive got the intro now on to the rest.
being that i have put my application in for a art teacher position that involves photography i got my camera out and started to play a bit.
