“Learning doesn’t matter.” - Cody Lambert  I’ve never once felt so broken by three words in my whole life. I went to school for four years for a profession that doesn’t exist. That’s the reality of what has hit me harder than training with the Miami Dolphins because someone said I was playing football but I was actually going over to Manchester to play what Americans call soccer.  When I decided to be a teacher, I didn’t want to teach about punctuation or grammar(clearly from this BLAHG). I wanted to teach students to be the best they can be for THEMSELVES. not mom, dad, grandparents, friends, bosses, teachers… anyone else. I wanted to teach young people to do better than people my age have for themself and the world as a whole.  Society is filled with so many beaten people who had hopes and dreams but were never told they could do what they wanted to do. No one believed in them. I am a teacher because I believe everyone can do whatever they want.  Unfortunately, I d...

I think I’ve finally calmed down enough over the past two months to be able to type any of this and think about any of it without going into a blind rage. I’m pissed, I’m beyond pissed, but right now at least, I can put my thoughts together.  A story, a few years ago, I pulled into a gas station I frequented on my way to school. A woman who works the register was wearing an Invisible Man shirt. I had said “cool shirt” to her a couple times before for similar classic monster stuff. I love the Invisible Man, read Coffin Dodger, and you’ll immediately know that. Unfortunately my overexcitement to find a like minded person could not be contained that day and I tried to start a convo about the classic monsters.  Most of what I said was met with a “yeah,” or a simple nod.  I left feeling bad. Like, what did I do? I wondered if I had accidentally came across as flirtatious or misread some social cue. Bre always says I wouldn’t be able to pick up on a single “romantic” social cue...

Yap BEFORE YOU READ THIS YAP: I AM NOT VENTING ABOUT ALL CHRISTIANS HERE. I KNOW CHRISTIANS WHO ARE PHENOMENAL HUMAN BEINGS, ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IS A PASTOR. THIS IS ABOUT THE CHRISTIANS THAT POST POLITICAL CONSPIRACIES ONLINE BRUV.  I think it’s wild that Christians don’t believe in Bigfoot. Most of them are out here praying that something as minuscule as the Waffle House not being crowded thinking that sky guy will provide for them and ignore the millions of people praying that have serious shit going on. They think god above is going to smite anyone who doesn’t think the same way as them, they think there’s an eternally hot lake of fire, they think some cosmic all knowing being is watching all of us and judging us every second of the day… but I guess an unknown species of ape that lives in the American forests are too far a bridge to cross? 2020-2024 was the biggest eye opener for me in terms of “godly” people. I watched people say the ugliest, nastiest things to others al...
