...on grooming

...more than 3 haircuts a year, is just plain vanity...

(and shaving more than once a week)

...on childhood

Aprendí a leer con libritos de Garfield, y este es el primer chiste que recuerdo haber leido...(click on it for a better view)

...creo que eso explica mucho.*

*información importante para cuando escriban mi biografía/historial psiquiátrico

...on Music

"...you can tell a lot about a man's personality by looking at the top artists on his iPod"

- Sigmund Freud 

...on teaching

"... creo que ni YO sacaría una calificación decente en tu clase..."

- Carlos "Lerms" Lerma

Es como el mejor cumplido que he recibido como maestro, si conocen al Lerms, saben que es demasiado engranado en su metodología, investigación, detalle de ilustración, etc.

Funniest things said by students:

* "If I flunk this class, i won't get anything for Christmas" - (Insert the song "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" while my face smiles sarcastically.)

* "I was really sick, hospitalized...could't finish the proyect" (Insert pictures from local newspaper, events section, from this students birthday party, that same weekend)

* "Radiohead they're a band from the 80's aren't they??" (not so much to do with the class, but it still hurts).

...on enjoying the little things in life

... So im driving home from lunch, when this skater kid falls of his skateboard right in front of me,  friends pointing and laughing, adding insult to injury i can see the kid's face of horror as i run over his skateboard with my car...

..thanks God, it's those little things i enjoy the most...

*and this other time i was parking my car at a friends yard, and it was dark and i could only hear the poppin' sound of a soccer ball some kids had accidentally kicked into the yard, but could't find anyone home so they could go in and get it...

...on ironic gods

...bad, horrible night, insomnia, stomach ache, crappy infomercials (i have no cable) and i had to wake up early to be at my class at 7am, anyways so i finally go to sleep, maybe at about 3am, phone rings at bout 5 in the morning, wrong number of course, have to get up around 6, of course i overslept which of course ment i jumped out of bed, and surprise suprise...no water (cleans face with bottled water and  uses AXE deodorant)...no time for morning coffe...

...gets in the car, turns on the radio, and what song comes up... "walking on sunshine" by Katrina and the waves...

...I love God's ironic sense of humor, it's his attention to detail I enjoy the most...*

*i have to admit, that on days like these, i feel very humbled and special to know that God takes time out of his busy running-of-the-universe schedule to have a good laugh at my expense...

...on Housecleaning

..."mmm... why bother with a broom and a mop, when you can just get a water hose and power clean the kitchen floor?? seriously, why hasn't anyone done this before ?!"

(hilarity ensues...)

*insert openin' credits and theme music...
