i was thinking about Isis and how she thought I was so reckless
I was just doing my lesson plans for tomorrow and I realized that I haven’t web logged in a long time. I have a lot to share. I want to share it. I will share it. But peter said he doesn’t like long web logs. So this time I will not share everything. I will just share this and the pyramids all embedded in ice.

so glad you are back...thanks for the poem. Despite my thoughts on the evolution of poetry and my inability to create or mimic something of historical importance, I still love reading them and appreciate the beauty of what they embody.
nikki: april is the cruelest month.
his embody no beauty.
am i intellectually lazy?
paul, you are almost a doctor. you have an almost guaranteed job. you studied and did well in school and on national tests. you graduated with honors. i did none of these things. only you are intelectually rigorous. i majored in music and am now in education classes....
although, you might want to listen to some bob dylan (some lyrics you might like: "i married isis on the fifth day of may").
however, i didn't finish sir eliot's poem.
intellectuality is not based on the number of degrees or tests taken. some of my classmates who struggle the most have the most degrees.
i appreciate your compliments, but they don't stand as a valid test of intellectual curiosity and rigor.
a solid understanding of bob dylan may...
you must have internet at the school?
yes, i was checking it at lunch. now i'm sitting here after school trying to recuperate.
you are right about the number of degrees, etc. that's why i don't want to finish this pointless masters. tell that to pops, though.
the trick to t.s.: don't think--and try to get a recording and listen to him speak it. nothing better. except for everything to do with the church.
oh, and a solid understanding of bob dylan will lead to an increased iq and better personal life. listen and fall in love again.
stevie,
that's the best web log yet my boy. less of you, more of mr. t.s., that's what i like. although, i must confess, from that time period i'm more prone to read a poem by wilfred owen, but eliot is good. (have you ever read a poem by owen? you should, i recommend the parable of the young man and the old. but be aware, it's definitely a different style than our friend thomas stearns). reminds me of turning him on full blast and then leaving our dorm, locking the door, and leaving the rest of our floormates to wake up to his soothing soliloquy.
why do you listen to peter?
skinny: did i give you permission to get on this web log?
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.
Stephen: Degrees are not pointless. They just don't guarantee a good score on a national test. Dad
i have a new post.
dad: i'm afraid a majority of degrees are pointless, especially those in the social sciences.
lafe: i like your new post. i think everyone should check it out.
lafe: i like your new post. i think everyone should check it out.
Should I take offense about degrees in the social sciences?? Were my 6 years of schooling pointless??
A degree is a piece of paper... but what does it prove?? The point of it all depends on the person. What do you do with your education? I use mine everyday. But I didn't need a degree to do that.
Degrees are for legitimacy, I guess... which is scary considering some people I know and the "credentials" they carry...
amy: no offense meant. you are smarter than many people i know.
amy says, 'thanks stevie' but it doesn't make her feel a whole lot better (something about being compared to the people you know...ie. dental students with cones in their ears, your beauracratic colleagues and liberals)
paul you eat poo and your a pooperscooper im am saying this because you DIDINT COME OVER.
