pants on fire

i am tired of people hiding behind masks.. or worrying so much about what others think about them. i can not believe how blind i have been in my life. sometimes i hate how naieve i can be, how trusting i can be, of words people say to me, of things that people tell me. what is even worse is how easy it is for people to lie. people find it 'easier' to do, and it makes me sick. people are so wrapped up in their lies, that they dont even realize it. i mean, i can not believe how much i thought i knew about people, and through things they do, or have done i realize how much i dont actually know about them. i am sure that this is not just me who has experienced this, and i am not saying that i am going to 'stop seeing the good in people', because well, that is just me. but i just wish that people could be more honest with one another, i mean time will tell, the truth always prevails, and will come out. stop trying to sugar coat who you are, to impress people. cut the bull, be who you are, and if people dont like you, it is their loss. honesty is the best policy.. right??

these days


not to say that i dont do any of the following things, because clearly i do, and often. but it is sad that these days people barely interact with other people. but let me clarify. people communicate with other people ALOT these days, but interaction in a truely meaningful way is becoming few and far between. instead of meeting up with people, we call them, and if that is too invasive we decide to text them instead, so they can read it whenever they are free. or going on messenger, but who of you doesnt have about 100 contacts, but really you only chat with 5 or so people on a regular basis. AND if you dont feel like chatting you can write BUSY or AWAY, so people will feel less oblidged to talk to you. or of course you can email people, and wait for them to respond, again less invasive, as they can reply on their own time. and now this new phenomena of 'blogging' where you can keep in touch, and learn about the other person, but again not really a soul searching good ole conversation (not to say it isnt fun- and sort of ironic that i am making this statement ON a blog). we are becoming more and more distant with eachother and it is sad, we rarely ACTUALLY interact with our friends anymore... and why? for convenience.. we are all 'too busy'.. or what? so i say- lets actually dial a number a little more often instead of just a text.. lets make time for one another, because it is through interactions not just communications that we can strengthen our bonds as friends.... i feel like someone should yell 'here here' right now.. but maybe i make no sense and no one agrees with me.. well, thats my rant, i am going to bed

teaching


i know that this is only my first year and everything, but it is bad sometimes how 'teaching is just a mere result of what happens while i am looking forward to the next day off'.. sometimes i need to catch myself and think 'hey- focus here, these children need your 100% effort'. not to say i dont give them that, but ya, sometimes i need to focus on the now, and not so much the 'long weekend ahead'. well, this happens in everyday life too i suppose.. planning ahead, looking forward to tomorrow. as the band the grassroots say in one song "sha-la- la-la-la-la, live for today", AMEN...well about teaching though-this semester is pretty sweet, because i can come home a lot more. heck, i was home last weekend, and i will be home again this weekend. and the weather is getting warmer as spring is creeping nearer-saweet!!!
ps- this is my school's logo- go saints!!!

genesis
