Well I'm finally entering the 21st Century with my very first blog entry. I feel like I'm finally catching up with the rest of my generation. So as I was answering the Creative Autobiography questions the title for my blog just came to me very bluntly because that is what I thought I was doing. I was answering the questions honestly and clearly but they didn't always seem to connect, not that they needed to, but I felt that I was just spewing off information from my gut. I guess that is what a blog can be if I want it to be.
Most of my answers surrounded my early life and career today. As a child my first creative moments came in Elementary school when I acted in two plays as the Genie from Aladdin and Tad (a Fonzie type character that ironically hates girls). I was really able to express myself and liked being on stage. However, as I grew older those feelings just left me as I became relatively consumed in sports, both playing and watching. My adolescence is one big game; I don't regret it, but it is what it is.
I am currently a teacher and truly enjoy it, even though many people say I'm crazy for dealing with hormonal 14 year olds all day long. They never bore me becasue something new happens everyday. Like how Brian went to his locker last week at the end of the day and gathered his books like he was going to his last period class only to walk in and realize that I was there alone and he had missed the bus... not to mention that he did not pay attention to any of the other students who were putting on their coats and packing up their bags. I can't make this stuff up!!!
That's the quick synopsis, and until next time everybody have a great week.
PJ,
ReplyDeleteWhat sport(s) succeeded in ending your budding stage career? Your classroom experiences with your students really seem to resonate with you--do they inspire any of your writing? I like your blog title (great font!)and look forward to more "spewing" in the future!
I dabbled in many different sports. The most cumbersome with time were socccer, baseball, basketball, and volleyball. When it came down to it I just enjoyed those more thoroughly. I feel like in this class my students can be an inspiration for my writing. However, they may be more comic relief than soul-searching prose.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame we're not spending any time on playwriting - we could've put your acting skills to work!
