That Novel I've Been Working On: The Family Guy Perspective
I'm so glad that I've already published enough books that no one could ever mock me when I say I'm working on a novel. See the segment below for more clarity (and to laugh harder than you've laughed all day).

Single Ladies: Put a Ring on It
My girl Beyonce strikes again with the new female anthem. Chorus: "If he liked it, then he shoulda put a ring on it." Translation: Stop claiming guys you're not married to, because if they were really about being with you, they would've proposed by now. Or am I translating this too harshly? I'd love folks to chime in on this one. Does marriage define the level of commitment?
On another note, I'm hitting the gym twice as often after seeing this video.

Breaking News: I Like Kids After All!
So I'm at my girl Anita's baby shower (who is still looking more fly than the majority of women who are not even pregnant). This dude walks in and heads straight in my direction. He starts playing with my toes and proceeds to climb right into my lap. Oh, I forgot to mention that he's fifteen months old. Meet Tyler, pictured right.I was truly shocked by the level of attention I received from this little cutie, because kids and I don't usually get along. This may surprise people who know I've worked in schools my entire adult life. But there's a distinction. I love teenagers. They are my favorite folks in the world. Actually, any kid in double digits will do just fine. But babies? They're a different breed. And frankly, they're a bit frightening. However, friendly toddlers like Ty make me believe that I might be a secret fan of the little ones after all.
Still, teenagers remain my number one priority and they are definitely the most entertaining people on earth. One of my freshmen arrived at school this morning in a pink shirt, tie, slacks, and pink and white dress shoes. Why? Not because he had a presentation for class. Because he had a date after school. He looked smooth seven hours in advance so that he wouldn't have to waste time going home to change clothes. Where does this level of effort go when they become grown ups? Thoughts?
