Text of the page (random words):
t a death wish on you or hatred directed at you or meant to persecute you really it has very little to do with you at all if i wanted to be a stinkbutt to you i would just post it on your wall and get it over with i mean if i want to be nasty i m going to make sure it s obvious i m going to do the job right or my mother might make me do it again that s a family joke from the days when i spent too many hot july afternoons re tamping fence posts that still wiggled so get over yourself already if you can speak your beliefs then why can t i i don t post or re post is more like it half the stuff i agree with because i know it would offend someone else i try to be polite that way i try to be tolerant the thing that frustrates me though is that so many people see even one disagreement as evidence of hate no matter which news outlet i read and i do read more than just conservative ones if i take the time to dip into the comments it doesn t take long to find people calling each other names that would embarrass a convict and using language that would make a sailor blush the topic doesn t matter it can be a disagreement about politics or religion or it what s the best way to cook the turkey you stupid golly folks that seems a little more like hatred than my rather tame tax rant from a couple days ago my only four letter words were probably pronouns like your or prepositions like into or from as in why should the government take your money from your pocket and put it into theirs every chance they get oops there was another four letter word take certainly that one should be offensive but can we recover from all this incivility that s part of what concerns me so much remember this no matter who wins next week conservative or liberal we all still have to live with each other unless there is some sort of mass exodus which i don t think is likely that last sentence is so important let me repeat it no matter who wins next week we all still have to live with each other will we still disagree most likely but that doesn t mean we have to be so horrible to each other my children and yours are growing up in this world if you want the world to not be such a hate filled place why don t some of you quit perpetuating it by finding hate every time someone doesn t agree with you we have some mighty fine rights granted us in the bill of rights but the right to not be offended just isn t in there instead we have this nifty thing called freedom of speech and since we don t all believe the same thing sooner or later your freedom and mine are going to meet like the titanic and the iceberg but stop equating that occurrence with hate already hate would be if one of us pulled out a gun and shot the other one over it even if you encounter true hatred how you handle it determines if that hatred continues or not if you continue to exercise your imaginary right to not be offended by exercising your right to exist in a constant state of huff then you are breathing life into the problem you make the choice to allow that hate to wallow in that mud the old expression about drinking poison to spite one s enemy comes to mind here a number of my loved ones don t see the world through the same lens i do so i live in a world of self imposed censorship in order to live in some semblance of peace that s my choice too i ve pulled up my big girl socks and accepted that fact listen up world now it s your turn to do the same because no matter who wins next week we all still have to live with each other the alternative is too ugly to desire p s for anyone who ever reads my blog you ll notice that i have refrained from bringing my faith into this discussion i could share many of god s directives toward peace unity love etc but i didn t because i want to reach out to some who do not recognize the authority of god let alone god s word i will say that jesus summed all god s directive into two commands one of which was to love each other as we love ourselves which is many times stated in secular terms as treat each other how you would want to be treated got it good posted by larin at 10 51 am no comments monday may 28 2012 morbid vs sappy which wins out i guess i m just morbid either that or i really suffer from a lack of sappitude i really am a sentimental person in many ways it s just sappiness that i can t stand for instance today on facebook one of the young people i know posted this message sometimes you love someone so much that not even the truth can change your mind i m sure this is meant to fan the flames of young twitterpation but my immediate thought was i wonder if the mothers of serial killers feel that way edward gorey was one of my favorite artists when i was a child does that speak volumes this post is dedicated to carrie and andria you ll both understand posted by larin at 8 41 pm no comments saturday may 05 2012 today s adventures in art today my children and i attended our local comic book store s annual national free comic book day event we duly chose some new comics to read and then eagerly stood in line for free drawings from our local comic book artist guild my son and i have done this for the last three years now if you look in my archive you will see the previous year s drawings this year i requested a picture of my favorite comic book character ever tintin and snowy okay so technically that counts as two but as matt nelson the artist who drew for me said how can you have one and not the other he was quite thrilled to draw those characters because he was expecting most of the people would want avengers characters since the movie opened last night to me the word avengers conjures up john steed and emma peel he was also impressed that i had brought one of my books as reference material i always stress the importance of reference material to my students and was surprised to see it was in french my first tintin book was l ile de noire the french version of the black isle my grandmother brought it back from martinique when i was about five years old and i couldn t read it until the fourth grade when my mom finally found for me a copy in english thanks to our local libraries i have been able to read all but two the unfinished alph art and the banned congo even better a young lady in the line next to me also asked for tintin and snowy tres cool thank you matt nelson i ve been working on some drawing projects of my own this week while watching some history videos i ve kept my hands busy drawing some cards for a school project but i ve neglected to take any photos what i can share though is the other thing i ve been drawing which is a graphic for the medieval renaissance faire my other school is putting together for june it needs a bit of tweaking still then i have to figure out how to turn it into something computer usable when i don t have any fancy programs after visiting the comic book store we went to the library and perused the wares at their semi annual book sale i scored a handful of art instruction books on things like collage and self portraiture yesterday one of my students gave me a set of cards with john singer sargent watercolors on them for teacher appreciation happy art times posted by larin at 5 48 pm no comments sunday april 29 2012 no soliciting and i especially mean your advice the world would be a much better place if more people could understand that unsolicited advice is usually just a cover for hurtful criticism a recent conversation has left this thought spinning around in my head like an out of control top as it hits on all the tender places in my heart there aren t many tender places in my heart so it really isn t good to damage the few that i have really let s examine this concept for a moment or two how often is the unsolicited advice about something like how to rid one s home of ant invaders in the spring time or how to properly wash a cast iron pan after burning dinner into all those little cast iron pores more often the advice is about how to deal with the problem that one didn t know one had with one s favorite aunt whom the critic doesn t like who is coming to visit in the spring and really all one wants to do is whack the critic with said unwashed cast iron pan anyone have any advice about how to refrain from such violence when confronted with such a situation just to be clear i am now soliciting criticism is received with so much more grace when the door has been gently opened by either the critic or the receiver when the advice isn t wanted it often doesn t fall on the proverbial deaf ears instead the advice falls with all the grace of a bowling ball onto a land mine i don t even want to contemplate the end result but if one is over about the age of twelve one can probably fill in with a vivid enough mental picture of course if we were all living in a p g wodehouse novel great hilarity would ensue but unfortunately most of us live in the darker section of human nature that more closely resembles a shakespearean tragedy where we are left brooding like a danish prince it s human nature to want to fix things but why is it so much easier to fix other people s things than our own and it seems to be especially true of things that we have no experience of in our own lives i know i ve never been in your situation but if i had been this is what i would do while the book of proverbs in the bible does tell us in many many many did i tell you how many places to listen to advice and accept instruction there is another place in the book that tells us to pull the plank out of our own eye before fiddling with the speck of dust in someone else s true advice isn t veiled criticism the world would be a better place if more people could learn to tell the difference that s all tune in next week when i discuss the true importance of people s opinions this blog is getting classier we ve upgraded to color cartoons of course it is sunday posted by larin at 6 50 pm 3 comments thursday april 26 2012 random teacher moments 1 playing with the layout a little tonight not sure what to think but i don t really have much time to spend thinking about it so perhaps it s a moot point really i m just procrastinating a bit i should be writing about william the conqueror or grading exercises on simple compound or complex sentences that last one would be a simple sentence with a compound verb wait was that an unclear antecedent wait what was that no what s on second oh yeah 2 strangely enough i do not dream in grammar or history tonight i might have strange dreams though one of my students showed me how he could pick his nose with his tongue this moment came after another boy wanted me to touch his knee to feel the strange spot on it that he can make pop i declined recently a third grader offered to let me check him to really see if he had a cold i assured him i would take his word for it older students have their own kind of weirdness but i can t really think of any right now 3 i finally tried a cakester today my daughter who is my student called me a traitor while her friend called me a cake sniffer inside joke for you lemony snicket fans last year our little school divided into factions over the cakesters and actually made signs that they carried around that said things like down with cakesters i have to confess that i now side with that faction 4 today s art class had it s own moments of weirdness nose conversations aside what began as finishing a pop art assignment ended as an impromptu lesson on jackson pollock and a lot of noise some days i prefer the lessons that involve slides and quiet but it s always fun to watch the students jump into the spirit of an assignment and discover something they enjoy did you catch that subordinate connector that sets up contrast we learned about that in writing lab today i was especially pleased when one student told me he had planned his harmonious color scheme yes they do listen through the noise 5 i guess william is waiting for me i m almost done writing out the notes and i like history so there really is no good reason to not dive in my brain is just tired i never realized how much work has to be done outside the classroom until i became a teacher the work just never ends 6 oh yeah william graphic http www spartacus schoolnet co uk medwilliam1 htm posted by larin at 10 52 pm no comments saturday april 07 2012 why can t we all get along or r e s p e c t it never ceases to amaze me how on the internet people seem to think it s perfectly acceptable to criticize and condemn and to do so with such vitriol bile and foulness does it really make you a better person to be so cruel because you don t like something does it make our society a better place to exist most often i see this happen with posts of a political or religious nature but today i see that people are already sniping about thomas kinkade s death if someone didn t like his art is it really necessary to tell the world in such nasty terms does it make them morally superior to do so i m not saying people can t or shouldn t have opinions or different tastes what is frustrating is that people today don t seem to know how or when to share those things in a respectful considerate way deep sigh posted by larin at 10 03 am no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom bleeding hearts yet what i can i give him give my heart looking
