One year. yup--time flies!
allthelovely:
So, I just got a lovely message from tumblr, letting me know that today is my one year anniversary. They asked me to post a cupcake in celebration, but I opted out. Although I have nothing against cupcakes whatsoever.
Thanks to all who follow and all who post. One year. Wow.

Sounds all too familiar?
Yes, I once had someone whom I thought of as a friend, whom I looked up to, admired, and wished to protect in any way I could. Being cut off by her (I mean completely) is a scar I will forever bare.
Delemma?

You may never know . . .
but I did, indeed, read your “ranting,” and believe me, I’ve been EXACTLY where you are. I’m sooo sorry—stay strong—be good to yourself—please!

Inclusion of formative testing as a requirement, as part of the law, raises the suspicion that it was deliberately introduced to provide an opportunity for test publishers to create a new market for their products.

A suspicion? duh
On Testing
” … our children are tested to an extent that is unprecedented in our history and unparalleled anywhere else in the world … many of us have come to take it [standardized testing] for granted … discourse about education has been reduced to a crude series of monosyllables …”

Some emotional states only have names in particular languages. Here are some examples:
Fiero (Italian): contented pride in achieving something just for oneself.
Amae (Japanese): the sweet feeling of being dependent on someone else.

A beautiful, hardback, first edition book just flew off my shelf to the sounds of Lou Reed and John Cale, the book hit me on the head and knocked me to the floor. My cup of tea spilt all over some forms and reciepts I no longer needed. I threw my guitar on my bed.
I wrapped my hands in toilet paper and cleaned up the mess on my desk. I picked the papers up off the floor, they had...

Oh, anywhere would be just fine as long as I can get to it. I can’t believe you remembered that phrase!
I like this a lot (:

I’m sure you’ve considered the variables here and pondered over his intention. My advice? (if it means anything to you—if, in fact, you read this) Talk to your mom. She may have far greater insight than you or I.
Will I ever “NOT” care? Nope
You asked me to—that’s why (:

I want to paint again. I want you to touch the marks I’ve made on the surface, I want you to feel what’s underneath. I need to feel free again. I’m trapped. I need space. I need light. I want to drag a stick covered in black ink along a white wall.

The New CEO
The quote, unquote failure of our public education system is now a veritable “Cash Cow”—big business (I kid you not) and Mr. Obama is the new ceo. To say I’m disappointed in this man, for whom I gladly voted, is far more than an understatement (:

I know full well that it is unhealthy, if not plain old STUPID, but I’ve always been most attracted to that which is beyond my control—beyond my reach. Sort of tragic wouldn’t you say?
