What Are You/Have You Been Doing Today.?

There are some places in the world where babies handle machetes because they live in the jungle and have to learn to use one or they can't eat. It's bullshit that people seem to think kids are stupid little sheep, I think kids become like that because people treat them like they don't know anything. They might not know much, but you have to take the time to teach them what's important and how to think about things before doing them or they'll learn whatever they can, from wherever they can, and if a parent has a problem with that they only have themselves to blame.

 

The sociology teacher I had in high school once told me that if you talk to a child like it's an adult and don't use baby talk, that child is more likely to grow up with a vast vocabulary compared to those children who are always spoken to in a childish manner or shouted at. Yeah, kids aren't dumb. It's just a shame this cotton wool shit makes parents dumb relying on other people to set examples.

 

Today I failed my first test in summer school, they called to yell at me.

Also, I was waiting in line at the store when a guy who had to be at LEAST sixty-five came up to me and asked me how to get dreads. He was almost completely bald, so I doubt he wanted them himself, hah!

He was all up in my face, though. Like, our noses were almost touching... Creepy.

 

I'm enjoying a quiet house at the moment. =)

 

You should have kissed him... then screamed rape

 

I usually talk to my son like an adult, always have. He understand quite a bit and I do think he is pretty smart.

On the topic of what I did today

It was finally summery here with the sun so I played outside with my son and we went in the pool. I am way to white, my son is way too dark we look funny together.

 

I got a new job becuase i was getting pissed at the salon I was working at so now I work at a very nice regis salon starting tomorrow

 

:cheers2::cheers2:

 

been listening to the grateful dead and reggae while browsing the forums, having a nice relaxing night

 

Haha, I tend to get a few old bald guys ask for some of my hair quite often

I saw a whole range of dreadlocks at work today. There's one guy from my work who's got a long set of natural dreads, a customer came in with reasonably long, very maintained and 'perfect' looking dreads, then an older fella with a long set of what looked like skinny natural dreads, then a guy with a dread mullet, then a more rasta looking set.

For some reason I always feel intimidated when i have to make contact with other dreadlocked people. Like I don't care what most people think of my hair, but when it's others with dreads I do because I always feel like they're gonna see me as some kind of poser or something
Which I know is stupid because I don't see how I would be haha

 

Yeah, Wameron, sometimes I get the same feeling about other dreadies.

Today, I am at work...I am supposed to be doing research, but my silent protest against the boss continues. It is now a week past my deadline for the letter she was writing. I am stretching this research out b/c of this as well as the fact that I ahve nothing to do once I finish it, which means I won't get paid.

 

Glad at least I'm not the only one.
I guess it probably comes from me just being shy.

 

I'd have gone apeshit at her to be honest.

 

Day? XD My dad makes a mean fence soup. LOlololol

Mm ginger nuts

TODAY I was painting the set for the school production which has taken over the mural in the headmaster's priority book. Whenever I walk past the kids they all shout BECKY!! HEEYY BBECCKKYY HHIIIIIIIIIIII

I think I've got an idea for my next project.. I might paint a mofo picture tomorrow at work (with all the sexy paint) while the kids are fucking about I need to find some fuckoffhuge paper. Shaweet. I've also figured out why I get so tired at uni and not so much when I'm running about with the kids. With the kids I have a plan, a structure, so I have something to follow. At uni I don't have a plan! Life = sorted.

Thankyous all foir the bday msgs My facebook is strangely full of people who I haven't talked to in years saying HB. Awesome.

 

My dad was sleep walking (nightly thing) and fell in the pond outside...

 

I'm reading all of this thread.

 

So after I wrote my status earlier I was sitting at my desk at work. All of a sudden BAM! a old, naked man, threw himself into the plate glass window that we share with the salon next door. He kept doing it over and over. So, I ran to the door, locked it, called 911. He was screaming at the top of his lungs "Help me!" The cops had to taze and hog tie him. He left a head print cracked in the window. It scared the shit out of me, so I went home.

 

Rofl

 

Thats so strange Vig!!

 

I learned that I can go into a an easier math course next year and maybe even pass high school on time! YAY!
