Camiseta Bien Puesta

Brian Kelly es ahora el nuevo entrenador en jefe de los irlandeses de Notre Dame. Es noticia en varias páginas deportivas por el hecho de que B.K. fue-es-fue-es entrenador de los Bearcats de Cincinati, aún cuando el equipo se va al Sugar Bowl este Enero. El entrenador no estará ahí con su equipo. Lo "gacho" (lo "ujule", más bien) del asunto es que B.K. hizo pública y oficial la noticia en el banquete de lujo que prepararon los Bearcats para honrar al entrenador. ¿Y qué les dijo? "Gracias, pero me voy con otra escuela"

No entiendo por qué hacen tanto borlote. Es cuestión de dinero. Dinero, dinero, dinero. El negocio del deporte no es nada mas que eso. ¿O creen que las grandes leyendas del deporte se hacen nada más porque sí? El que un entrenador en jefe se vaya a otro equipo no quiere decir nada mas que el otro equipo le ofreció más lana y pos ni modo de decirles que no. ¿a como está la situación ahora? Si me dicen que me vaya a Rusia a entrenar osos para que monten un uniciclo, demonios! ¿a cuánto sale el próximo boleto? El punto que quiero hacer (porque lo tengo) es que no deberíamos caer en esta falacia de que "hay que ser leal y ponerse la camiseta". No conozco a nadie que siga esa regla al pie de la letra. Usualmente es "me pongo la camiseta hasta que una oportunidad mejor llegue. Entonces, me quito la camiseta, la echo a la hoguera y me olvido del asunto". Creo que así funciona el mundo... desde hace mucho tiempo...

... y no, no creo que la tengamos mejor si regresamos a "los tiempos de antes", porque estoy segura de que en esos tiempos de antes, el ponerse la camiseta era igual de utópico que yo ir a Rusia a enfrentarme con un oso...

Y EN OTRAS NOTICIAS .....


El mentado Juanito Ixtapalapa entró muy envalentonado a reclamar su puesto como jefe de la delegación de Ixtapalapa y salió, como decimos por acá, "con el rabo entre las patas". El mentado sujeto resultó ni siquiera ser quien decía ser y hasta un tercer nombre le surgió al descubrirse que todos sus documentos eran falsos.

... osea... ¿cómo?

El hecho de que el "Cirque Du Freak" salga de la delegación más prolífica del D.F. no es lo que me deja con el ojo cuadrado, sino el hecho de que haya falsificado documentos y que nadie lo haya notado sino hasta ahora, que ya no quiso seguir con el circo, maroma y teatro que los cirqueros del PRD le pusieron (incluido ahí el Taita Peje), ahora sí salgan a la luz pública.

Eso me da muuuuchas esperanzas en este país. Lo único claro con este circo es que realmente a los cirqueros poco les importa las quejas/necesidades del país y todo sea con tal de roerle al huesito, ¿no? Ah que padre!

... (add title here) (part 2)


Today is Thursday and as it might have it, there is no class today. Tomorrow, my "non-existent" English VIII class will have their final exam.

Yes, "non-existent"

Turns out that the deal they struck with the Dean @ school is non-valid by URN standards. In other words, if they find out in Chihuahua what they did, we would be in a messy pickle. I did not authorize it, tho. This is all my boss man's circus. What happened is that two students flunked (with a capital F) English 7. But if they waited 1 semester to take the class (sorry -- retake the class), they would be held back 1 year. They graduate next December. So, for them they made the exception that they could take the subject and catch up in one semester. Good for them, good for me (because I got paid an extra class, hence I have work). But now turns out that it's a whole mess because I cannot capture their classmate's grades until they either fail or pass the class (this class) so that I can capture their grades as if they took the class along with the rest. So, to the system, they never failed the class...

o____O

yeah, I have a "whaaaaaaa???" face too. Particularly when I had to redo the lists so that this could be possible.

ISO-9000 my ass.....

(sigh!)

In other parts (not so complicated) I have new art in DeviantART. Check it out.

Persepolis and the Teacher

TGIF!!


It's Friday, ladies and gentleman, and as we all know, the day calls for celebration, party madness, and whoo-haa.

Madness began today, when Presidente Calderon said that the US is WRONG -- that the Mexican government is NOT losing the war to criminals and that it's all under control. Mr Presidente... ARE YOU INSANE? I mean, really, for shizel, are you, like, MENTAL? As your secretary of state, your secretary of defense, the governor of Chihuahua, and the Juarez Mayor got together in this city to talk about what should it be done against the drug war, a man was gunned down NOT TOO FAR from your people was at!! And there was helicopters, and soldiers, and AFIS, and Police men, and all kinds of circus media! Oh, let's not forget the bomb threats to the airport (that remained closed), the justice department offices, the universities, some government offices! Hah! And you say it's under control? In what COUNTRY do you LIVE IN?!

People! Ay-yay-yay!

But, returning to rather more pleasant news... Next week we're going to have this big palooza breakfast with the head honchos of Bachilleres (the public high school). The target is to get them to enroll more students into our fair university and they're using English as their main tool. So, I have to do a presentation about the English program and how it can benefit the students. I hope we can do a good job about it. Can't wait. It's gonna be in a very classy hotel... and the plus part is that I get to see my old high school teachers since they have now become principals and coordinators of the school. Ah!

Then, on Suky's class, we saw this movie, "Persepolis". I liked it very much. I could find a trailer of it to place it here. I most def. wanna get the dvd...

It's very cool that Suky and David have such great movies.

Thank you all for tuning in... and remember... it only seems kinky the first time.

It's FAT TUESDAY!!!

PANDAS GONE WILD!!!!



I love to say Fat Tuesday... I imagine is this fat day with a top hat and a beaded collar going all around the town screaming "FAT TUESDAY!" and laughing like a mad mad marshmallow man. Yeah, I know... It annoys the bejezus out of people when I go around screaming FAT TUESDAY!...

So, looking around to see if I can find a decent picture of a panda celebrating FAT TUESDAY (apparently there is none), I found this one...

HOW CUTE... or disturbing? Because I can't help but to wonder if the owner of this dog has an issue with Pandas or if the dog was actually BORN a dog-panda... If it's the first one I feel sorry for the lady because that chow-chow will get even somehow.

Today was the "CULTURE CLASH" celebration at class. It's the 24th of February, so not only it's FAT TUESDAY but it's also Flag Day in Mexico... so, in the sight of having so many cultural and civics diversities, the class has to prepare a 10 minute presentation about cultures... last year, one of the presentations was from Italy. The girl brought pizza and wine to the class. We got to eat the pizza and got hammered with the wine. Then, on the afternoon class, one of the teams presented Russia as their culture project... yeah, needless to say, the Vodka was good.

"It's a FAT TUESDAY MIRACLE!" (Miss Suky's words as she has found her "lost books" today)


Graphic Design students are nagging and complaining about they having a low score in their work -- all because of bad spelling. I mean, they're in college -- they're SUPPOSED to have AT LEAST a decent knowledge of what spelling is. And I don't mean in English! I mean in Spanish. They're all bitchy because of this. Dudes, you're graphic designers... bad spelling can be the cause of your bad business.

Fat Tuesday... and tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Most students here won't come because they're under the wrong impression that school should give them their "religious moment" and thus they can escape the reality that is the Mexican school system, which is completely separated from church. Personally, the idea of having ashes placed on my head and make it pretend that this way God knows who I am and blesses me is not my idea of a good time. I mean --- what are these ashes made of? Blessed palms. Are you sure? I mean, how do you know it's not something else, burned and turned into ashes? What if its the dead cat or dog of the lady of the church? You never know in these times of crisis! My friend Tenshi would probably be all up in arms, calling me a non-believer or looking at me in a "shame on you" look.

As far as the weather goes, I can tell that Cuaresma is around the corner. It's windy. As hell. Funny --- it's holy week and it's windy as hell (insert crazy laughter here). I hate holy week's food. No, let me rephrase that. The only holy week food I LOVE is CAPIROTADA.

And peeps...

All hail the Peeps....

First Day at School --- The Morning Show

First day of school. The new semester is here and the students are well on their way to failing the class. Why? They didn't show up.

Okay, being totally unfair there. ONE of them showed.

I think my afternoon class will be a little bit more hectic. But if not, what reasons does a student have not to show for a class?

TOP 5 REASONS STUDENTS DON'T SHOW UP TO CLASS

5. Dog ate my homework, my clothes, my car, my breakfast...

4. Classss? I don't neeeed no steeeeeenking classs!

3. My mom did not wake me, nor did she put the alarm clock so that I could be awaken. My mom did not want me to come, see?

2. I waited for you at the cantina, but you never showed, teacher!

1. I forgot to mention, dog ate my brain.

Woof woof!

STUPID NEWS OF THE DAY

HARDCORE PORN INTERRUPTS SUPER BOWL IN ARIZONA ... So the Arizona Cardinals finally make it to the Superbowl, and those watching in Tucson couldn’t see the end of the game…

Hardcore porn, though, now that's another story. According to Comcast Cable, an adult movie channel interrupted their feed right after Larry Fitzgerald scored to [temporarily] give Arizona the lead. A spokesperson for Comcast Cable said she has “no idea” how the porn got into their feed. They were still trying to figure it out last night..


OH MY GOD!!!!
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE FLAMES --- AND THE FREAKED-OUT LOOK ON PEOPLE'S FACES!

News, and tigers and bears --- Oh MY!

It seems odd to be at school and all of a sudden become the Dean's leading lady in programming ALL the events the school has for 2009... and at the same time to have the brain to figure out how to drink a hot cup of coffee.

Well, the school has scheduled a whole lot of activities that just makes me look at the board and go @___@ at it. If we could only have half of these things done, it will be a successful year. Funny bid, the Dead did not know when Semana Santa is.. so the vacation schedule is still in hiatus since he cannot believe that it starts on the 6th. Dude, it's in the SEP calendar!

I have a new blog I am following. See on the sides? It's the Scholastic Scribe blog. Yes, I do realize we have the same layout, so what? I found it good and funny, and the main reason I do this is to find teaching blogs that can help me become a better teacher. English teacher. As a biology teacher I have done my time. I think that I will exchange the time I was teaching at that high school for served time in hell...

(sigh!)
Have to get me my own camera. I need to post pictures.
