Sitting in General Music Recap #8



I have general music in my class every day during my prep time.  Although I appreciate that the teacher doesn't mind that I sit at my desk and sometimes speak to her students, it's kind of a pain having the class in my room every day.  Today they are talking about Ska music.  Since I was correcting papers and geeking on the internet, I'm not really sure of the relation, but it seems No Doubt and Ska are somehow related.  At one point in the class, the teacher asked me for my favorite No Doubt song or a fast No Doubt song.  Honestly, I was caught off guard and couldn't come up with any title although I have  No Doubt CDs at home.  One student kept speaking, "Spider Webs."  I looked at him questioning, "Why do you keep saying Spider Webs?"  It seems it's actually a No Doubt song.  As soon as it was played, I recognized it.  Said student (black 12 year old male) actually was mouthing the words and moving to the song as it played.  It made me smile widely.  Another student in the class caught me grinning and asked me, "Do you like jamming with us?"  I'll have to admit that normally the answer would have been no, but today I was completely entertained.

No doubt that I should probably learn more about No Doubt.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
