I LIKE MY OATMEAL LUMPY

IF YOU PLAY FOR A LOSING TEAM YOU CANT COMPLAIN

You have to admire the sheer ignorance of the teachers in the KCMOSD. Here they are failing at there jobs and they are complaining. The complaints are about their free time getting cut back in an effort by the new Super to increase their productivity. These "educators" who get three months off during the summer don't feel that more time in the classroom could help students that drop out and fail at alarming rates. Whose side are these idiots on?

The fact that you are teaching in the worst district in the midwest should show you that you suck at what you do. No other school district would take you therefore you are lucky to have a job. A job that you get to keep even though you completely suck at what you do.

How much planning time do you really need? If you had 90 minutes of planning time and your performance was still below average is cutting it back to 50 minutes (the state norm) going to effect your performance? Did it take you 90 minutes a day to plan and scheme on how to get kids to drop out? Get real and get over yourselves.

STAY CLASSY KANSAS CITY

You silly bastards never let me down. I was starting to think that we were going to make it through a night without a shooting but you came through. I am sure that the argument was over something important like tennis shoe scuffing, color of shirt, beer spilling or my personal favorite "over a ho". Anyways, way to go East siders, stay classy.

DEAD DOG WALKIN

This week will be the last week for the dog I have had for the past 13 years. Due to some cancer in her mouth she is in pain when she eats, drinks etc.. and I have to look past the good moments that she has and do the right thing. The morbid thing about this is that I know it is going to happen but the dog has no clue. She doesn't know that today is her last Monday but I do.

I had thought about getting her stuffed but she is kinda ugly now and could only be displayed on Halloween. That wouldn't be exactly a bad thing but I don't want to explain to the neighbors why I have a stuffed dog in the garage with all of the holiday decorations. What do others in SOJOCO do with their dead animals? I have heard tales of people with pet urns over their fire place, burial plots at the cemetery next to the family and my personal favorite is saving the pet DNA to have it cloned.

Don't feel bad for me, my dog has lived longer and had a better quality of life than those of you that read this blog in KCK & East KCMO. She was not subject to a failing educational system, she was never shot at and her garbage was always picked up. Then again I think most dogs in JOCO have better lives than East Siders.

THE GREAT URBAN BLIGHT TOUR

A few weeks ago I came up with the idea of doing the Top 10 most blighted ares of the city. I could never get enough time to go out and get the photos taken so I told Midtown that he should run with it. He has the most interesting and unique pictures on his blog of Kansas City and I felt that he could do it more justice than I could. So unlike city leaders we passed bistate 2 an initiative between JOCO & Midtown to bring attention to the blight of the metro.

EAST SIDE PARENTING AT ITS BEST

How the hell does a year old end up wondering the streets in the middle of the night? Being a father of 2 little girls I can't even picture a scenario in which this happens. This seems to always happen in the East Side.
