Too Much of a Good Thing
So it turns out a lot of my students are also blogging.. on a different service
As much as I enjoy this, it kind of makes me nervous for so many young people to have such easy access to web publishing... got to wonder how much libel is flying around some of those blogs.. and some of those kids publish so much personal information... I think their parents would freak out if they knew what went out in those chatrooms and IMs and Web sites to total strangers... I know I spoke with my sister about that a few years ago... hopefully she's followed my advice... but she's almost 18 and soon will be able to do what she wants. It makes me scared for her... but at the same time I don't think I give her credit for the kind of woman that she's growing up to be. I think most of us still see her as the baby sister. I hope that doesn't ever cause her pain.
Went with Garry and Justin to see a football game last night.... actually I was dragged to one... yes... JUSTIN AND GARRY DRAGGED ME TO A FOOTBALL GAME.
They were really more interested in the halftime show, but it turned out to be a pretty good game as Duncanville more than likely won their district championship by beating Arlington Lamar 27-20. Sometimes I really miss playing HS football... but I know there are a lot of things that I wouldn't miss at all.
Afterwards we went to No Frills for Woodchuck, Tacquitos, Crawfish Quesadillas and NTN.
I took second place in both games - Garry won the first one because I had a faulty controller (it's a legit excuse). And I just plain lost the second game.
Now I'm going to go get ready to view some photo contest entries with ATPI. Then maybe a costume party tonight... it's almost Halloween you know...
Currently...
Spinning - Some Bobby McFerrin CD that I could've sworn I didn't like
Reading - SCF-WOP
Viewing - uhhhhhhhhh...
Surfing - SCF-WOP
Considering - ghosthood
Feeling - Itchy (and scratchy)
