The Amoral Low Road: Awesome.
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/06/awesome.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. One of the pleasures of teaching freshmen is that they will turn you on to all sorts of weird music. If it weren't for them, I would not have discovered my love for Ke$ha. Occasionally they actually show me something truly remarkable / decent. Case in point:. How can you not be happy while watching / listening to this? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adventure is a Path. I Don't Feel Sorry for You, Ms. Spelling. Coalition of the Thrilling.

The Amoral Low Road: Madness is the deja-la of death and Life's Banalities
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/10/madness-is-deja-la-of-death-and-lifes.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. Madness is the deja-la of death and Life's Banalities. After a weekend full of ups and downs, I decided to do something I frankly should have started doing 10ish years ago— actually read Foucault. I’ve read bits and pieces here and there, and I’ve certainly read plenty about Foucault but never any full works. With some guidance from Kate, I jumped into Madness and Civilization tonight. Mostly, it’s been fun thinking about madness, conceptually...

The Amoral Low Road: What I've Learned
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-ive-learned.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. This is a draft of an essay / speech I’ve been working on- I'd appreciate feedback / ripping it apart:. So that’s it. I’ve gotten to my point before I’ve barely started. I guess you can tune out now, return to your youtubeing, facebooking, or skim what else I have to say. Or you can indulge me, it’s your choice.

The Amoral Low Road: Guys Don't Bake and Women Don't Drive
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/06/guys-dont-bake-and-women-dont-drive.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. Guys Don't Bake and Women Don't Drive. This Hardee’s commercial both fascinates me and bothers me. Obviously, the message is, “Hey! Don’t bake biscuits. You’re betraying your gender if you do so, and other NASCAR loving men will ostracize you if you choose to bake them (delicious) biscuits instead of watching the big race.” I noticed several things about this particular commercial:. June 12, 2010 at 12:59 AM. Yeah, Hardees ads have been based on bei...

The Amoral Low Road: Creative Writing Night!
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2012/06/creative-writing-night.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. Allison and I just completed Creative Writing Night 1.0. We hope to make this a regular thing. Here are the results from tonight: a poem and several six word stories. An Elegy from the Kitchen. Sparks dazzle; jetting across the sky of my melancholy. Reflecting in the wide sea; solemnly breaking in my heart. Never again to see his hands or face. Which so easily lulled my racing mind to peace. The remains burn quicker than fuses on fireworks. Awesome ...

The Amoral Low Road: I have lists
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-have-lists.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. If I were to ever give up teaching, which I don't plan on doing any time soon, here's what I'd like be:. 6 Epic poem reciter / rhapsode. 12 Tarot card reader. 14 Organized labor leader. 15 Zookeeper, preferably penguins. 16 Ororo Munroe/Storm (of X-men fame). 18 Accountant / Bookkeeper. 20 Puppeteer, preferably Muppets. 22 French student revolutionary. 25 Talk show host. Which of these do you think I should do? June 6, 2010 at 12:33 AM. I totally se...

The Amoral Low Road: On the Importance of Cute Outfits at the Iowa State Fair
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2011/08/on-importance-of-cute-outfits-at-iowa.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. On the Importance of Cute Outfits at the Iowa State Fair. Welcome to the Iowa State Fair! I knew I should have worn a cute outfit to the fair- there were so many people there, I probably could have met someone to start a long term relationship with. Oh well, practicality won out, although the black t-shirt was a bad idea. Don't drive and take photos at the same time kids! No one wanted to interview me, probably because I didn't have a cute outfit on.

The Amoral Low Road: Music: The Shape of My Heart
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2010/10/music-shape-of-my-heart.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. Music: The Shape of My Heart. Three times because the good times really are thrice as good." Rather, you probably heard it a couple times (actually, probably just once) and figured out what to do. My favorite artist is René Magritte. My favorite poem is To His Coy Mistress. My favorite Shakespearean lines are "Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! Romeo's nearly last lines. I also listen to is titular song regularly. Not daily, but...

The Amoral Low Road: Open Letter on the Teaching Profession
http://amoralroad.blogspot.com/2013/07/open-letter-on-teaching-profession.html
The Amoral Low Road. It's just the stuff I think about. Open Letter on the Teaching Profession. Last month, Washington State Representative Liz Pike wrote an open letter to teachers telling us to enjoy our summer vacation and to stop complaining about our salary and benefits. You can read her letter here. You can read the Huffington Post article about it here. Here is my open letter to Representative Liz Pike. Certainly. There are also bad principals, administrators, and superintendents. In fact,...Absol...
