looking for a good history lesson idea, i thought of this crumb comic that i'd seen as a video. of course, why stop at perfection? so, the inclusion of two others that address the topic in different ways. there was a third from bowling for columbine that is certainly worth a view, but didn't fit into my clever red, white, and blue scheme. anyway, visuals rule any learning. what's to learn from crumb's short history? time = history; short or otherwise.

more o' ware (smartest kid)
this should be played at full screen,
preferably in a residential area.
today i was again reminded of what is and what should be. a speaker at the school told the kids, "whatever it is, keep going at it, keep [expletive]ing going at it." a friend of my classroom teacher, he attended pilgrim high before making his mark in hollywood, realizing recently his lifelong dream of appearing on the cover of fangoria magazine.
meanwhile, my slog seems to have taken on a life of its own, "revealing one earlier event of the evening's entertainment."
if i knew what any of it meant, i'd probably just keep it to myself.
and this is kind of funny.
there's got to be a social studies lesson here somewhere.

once

there was a time when staying up late resulted in something i could wholly appreciate. now it just seems like work. even this slog feels more an obligation than a labor of love.
i'm not finished with this thought, i just have other responsibilities...

no slog like an old slog (a sign of something)
a math problem: of the time between slog (posted dec. 19) and tony wagner's seven skills (posted jan. 4); these kids syndrome (obama@nea) (posted jan. 19) and पॉडकास्ट थिस! (posted jan. 21); (one more for the road) (posted feb. 25) and gran idea (posted mar. 1); or these last two, which posts had the longest gap of time between them? please show your work.
also, which is greater? my need to be humored or the time spent attempting to humor myself?
