Hablo Espanol...

Today I am Senor I. I have three hours of Spanish 1, two hours of Spanish 5, and one hour of Spanish 4.

I feel like the lady in Resident Evil: Apocalypse who has to go to Las Vegas for supplies even though she knows she could get bitten and become infected. I too have walked into an infected place in order to get supplies (money). The sickness is all around. I can see it in their eyes, hear it in their cough. It is happening. Unfortunately I do not have an OJ I.V. that I could put into my arm and get liquids through.

And teenagers are much like zombies. When they all put their iPod's, Zunes, and othe mp3 devices in they are taken over. Don't trust Steve Jobs, he is a zombie maker. He makes things look all nice on the outside but they slowly destroy your insides till you become a zombie that only downloads songs from the day's top 100, so you end up with an abundance of crappy rap songs on your iPod.

Remember the oldendays of the music store? I remember Blockbuster music I think it was called. It was a pretty sweet store. Lots of CDs and you could listen to whatever you wanted. You bought the music and you owned something, other than a vague file on your computer. Even cassettes I can recall, the ancient relics that they are. I wonder if that will every be a selling point on a car "This car has a tape deck!" All of this music talk was brought about because of the rewatching of an old classic known as "Empire Records". I did an IMDB search of the movie and noticed that I share my birthday with the actor who plays Lucas, who creates the whole plot for the movie. But that has nothing to do with the music.

Back to high school students for a moment. I have thoughts and questions. Who decided that this is the best way to educate people? I would like to sit down with them and show them what they are doing to humanity. I have Spanish 5 students in right now. Spanish 5! This is like top of the top in the school. These are kids that will fit the mold and go to good colleges and try to live the american dream. No wonder America is in trouble, we let one kid (usually immigrants) do the work and the rest of us get rich off of it.

Aye caramba y cajones aqui escuela de leche.

This is Madness. THIS IS JEFF"S BODY!!!

Man, I cannot shake this illness. This is day 4 and it seems that the foreign elements are lodged in my nasal passages like a group of hairless Spartans. I believe in the end that the Persian horde which is my immune system will win the day.

I think the illness is affecting my prophetic dreams. I haven't slept a full night since i got sick. Also in response to mythbusters, I think that they need to work on the myth about spiders crawling in your mouth while you sleep. Think about it, basically the show would consist of the two hosts arguing about who was going to fall asleep in the room full of spiders. I hope it would be the one with the mustache. I bet that it would deter spiders, like women, from getting near your mouth.

So, I read an article in Newsweek "The Gospel According to Protheo" about how Americans are very spiritual but no nothing about religion. So, I thought to myself and said "I wonder if I can list all the books of the bible in order." Now keep in mind I had not done this since probably 8th grade in confirmation class. When you are getting your degree in religion from a Baptist affiliated institution it is assumed you know this stuff I guess. Perhaps they should rethink their strategy.

Anyway, I got through about a third of the old testament before I started to get mixed up in my order. After Lamentations things got really interesting. All those minor prophets and their short books. Hosea and Joel really messed me up. So I did pretty bad on my first run through of the old testament.

I figured the new testament would be cake. I steamrolled through the list and when I finished I looked down and I was like...hmmmm....my list looks off. Sure enough I had forgotten both Timothy's. Silly me, Timothy of all books, honestly! I love the Timothy's, I can't believe I forgot them.

Anyway, if you read this, my challenge for you, is for you to see how well you do and then post your results.

Anyway, I am out. I need to send the Persian horde some supplies
