Why is this the answer? If it didn't have truth in it, it wouldn't be funny.

Why is this the answer?  Where have we gotten to as a society and as a just general people that not only is this true, but funny.  Be honest with yourself and me ( I promise I won't tell) YOU  thought this was funny.  God knows i did, and i see a bit more then the truth in it.  I see a lot of fear and hate.  I think a lot of people would prefer that the teacher "hit" the bottle then "hit" the kid, but i cant help but think that is short sightedness that destroys one our our educational resources.  My father, when I first went to high school, went to all the teachers, and told them to spank me first then ask questions.  He knew most of them, he had taught there himself, but never the less that is how he felt.  Beat me first then find out why I was screwing up. I received licks, or a paddling, up into my my high schooling.  and let me tell you.  That was one hell of a deterrence.  Now do not get me wrong I am not saying that paddling should be put back into the school, but I will say we have to figure out some form of other means to control the class room.   Also, some humor and deep breathing exercises for the teachers.

SCA Man-at-Arms

So despite being a squire before this. For the first time in my life i was made a man-at-arms to a knight. This was a very happy moment in my life. When my Knight asked if anyone would speak on my behalf I had 5 fantastic people step up to say things that truly brought tears to my eyes. A knight that has known me for many years spoke up, saying my enthusiasm was great but my mouth needed train

ing still. A pelican that i count among dear friends spoke up saying my wish to help people had been noticed. A baron spoke of my service to a barony i did not even live in. A lady of the household spoke up on how i had grown from an angry young man into a proud man she was happy to be around. And in closing a Gage spoke of my willingness to stop beating my head on a wall and change up my self to pursue the path and spoke of my service to my unit. I was doing well before these people spoke up. Many of them surprising me GREATLY!!!!! I still tear up thinking about it. Thank you all you have touched me deeply and i will strive to make you all proud of me and make myself worthy of your words.

Bad Grammar and all.

Personal Goals with this Blogging thingy.

So today as I read through the different blogs I noticed that several of them spoke on how their grammar and  writing skills improved.  So thinking on this I have decided to come up with a few goals to aim for with this blogging thingy.  Specially with me moving into the more professional sector, where the ultimate aim of this and my new twitter is to be a professional resource.

1. Prolly should stop calling this a blogging thingy. 
2. Correct poor grammar and spelling.
3. Reach a new and unthought (at least by me) audience.  
4. To see if I will have some impact on the aforementioned audience.
5. ......
6. MAKE MONEY.  

I think that about covers it.  

Importance with teaching.

Whats important to me in teaching.  That is such a deep question. I can go simple with saying something like: Reaching the students.  Touching there lives.  Making them happy,  but to me it reaches so much more deeper then that.  Its more then just touching someones life.  Everyone touches others lives every day.  What makes me so different when I stand up in front of the class room?   I think it comes down to TRUST.  I want people to truly think about that.  From the youngest to the oldest Teachers are fully expected to tell the truth to the students and impart things on them that will affect the rest of their lives.  Like the comedian said you can tell little kids anything.  2+3=CHAIR.... Look they are writing it down.  How many of us go through our lives with something that has been taught to us in school that we find out later is wrong?  We truly trust those that are put into the position of teacher.  It is that trust that I feel is probably the most important thing.

• Trust to be lead into the world.
• Trust that your your told the truth.
• Trust that you are safe.
• Trust that you can get close without harm.  
• Trust to be yourself.
• Trust to grow and enjoy.

Though its got some commentary of older materials and the differences between the states I find this pretty funny.
