Kind of lame



So, I am trying to think of a new blog posting and I am having a hard time. Thanks to Sunshine for helping me create a profile picture. (I like your profile picture by the way)This is a picture from last May when I made my very own bookcase! Yep, I made it from scratch. I had a lot of help from a friend but I am still pretty proud.
Nice collage of not so nice pictures of me Sean. Not so sure anyone really wants to wear a shirt with those scary photos but we will see.
So, I have decided to dedicate this blog to Shel Silverstein, the poet. I always loved him as a kid and his crazy poems. Here are a few of my favories.

Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little did.

The Voice


There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you-just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.

Do you have any of your own favorites?

Shout out to Blue


So Liz took the kittens today to see the vet so they could have a check up. They got shots and what not but bad news is Blue might have to lose an eye. His infection is so bad his left eye might be lost for good. So sad. But he is a fighter and you would never know he can only see out of one eye. We are going to try one last possibility with some crazy ointment but if it doesn't work I think we will have to change his name to One Eyed Willy. (That is a shout out to one of my favorite movies-Goonies. In case you didn't get it)
Think happy thoughts for Blue!

P.S. Blue is the dark grey one in the picture. And no, that is not Liz. That is our old roommate Ziegler.

APUSH Study Sessions






Hey! Hey!
So I dropped off my most recent roll of film and to my surprise there were a lot of APUSH study session pictures. I won't share them all but here are a few highlights. A shout out again to Elisabeth, Leah, Jake, Kevin and Joe Jones. The only folks to make it to every unit offered. You guys rock!
See you on Friday!
Major
P.S. Can you tell which pictures were taken when Joe Jones stole my camera.

Please do not try this at home



Check out this guy who actually TATTOOED APUSH on his arm. Wow! Now that is dedication!!! Unbelievable.

Top 5

I got on the subject of movies today while talking to APUSH superstars notorious j.o.e. and Ry-dawg. (Yes, I am not cool enough to use nicknames but I have to pretend) Anyway, it got me thinking about what movies would be in my top 5 of all time. So, here is my list. First let me stipulate that these are not necessarily the best films that have ever been made. They either just make me smile, remind me of happy events in my life, or are movies I could watch over and over and over.
So here goes:
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Sixteen Candles
3. Good Will Hunting
4. The Goonies
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's

So what are yours???

APUSH Across the Country



So as I was looking for some pictures for the last blog, I found some interesting images from other APUSH classes across the country. Check out the t-shirt one class even made up. Wouldn't you want a t-shirt with my crazy mug on it? I think we should look into it.

Congratulations to all of my wonderful APUSHers. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments and hard work these past two years. You are all amazing young adults and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with you.
So, now that the big, bad test is over, let's have some fun on the blog. Today's topic: Nicholas Cage and why he is the man. Discuss
