It's late and I am chillin' reading my old blog posts....so I am inspired to contribute more to a blog that has no readers. So here's some questions that occasionally pop into my head (or just popped into my head right now).
How do I feel about having zero readership?
Good question, its fine, really. No, really. The last person I told I had a blog, I made it out like it's a secret blog and I don't really want readers, so I can really just be myself. And I suppose that's kinda true, but I wouldn't mind having a loyal reader or two. I mean, even my wife doesn't read my blog.
What have you been listening to lately?
Chillwave or lo-fi vaporware or lofi hip hop. I dunno, still trying to figure out what it's called...I am putting a sample below....it's good music to grade and get work done. Also, Hollow Coves (not listed, just look em up, bro)
What did you think of the new Weezer album, The Black Album?
It is terrible. I mean, I like "High As A Kite"...that's it. That's even bad for a bad Weezer album.
What's a random dream you have?
I thought of creating a podcast of just interviewing regular people, as if they were someone important. Just talking to regular everyday people. I think it would be called "Everyday People". I bet someone is already doing it.
What are the things that make me feel old?
1. My children 2. My back (its been a bit weird lately) 3. pop-culture references that I can't use in class anymore because I am so old (for example, a "Cheers" reference I knew wouldn't work, but did it anyway.... I just looked right over at my older student in the room and she gave me a knowing look with a smile).
What keeps you excited about work?
It ain't teaching to be honest. This semester has been a rough one, it's been busy and my students have largely sucked. I like teaching particular subjects more than others but the real excitement is planning trips. I have one in May-June this year and hoping to start planning my next faculty-staff retreat to Northern Ireland next year or the year after. I have further plans after that, going back to Peru for a study abroad and later to Europe for another study abroad....we'll see.
What are you hopes and dreams for your children?
To lead safe, healthy, meaningful and happy lives. To be where they can just be. I hope so much for them and yet see a world falling apart. I hope their generation steps up, ours has done them no favors. I love them so much, when I think about it, my heart bursts a little.
Are you getting tired of this stupid Q&A format blog?
Yes, thanks for asking, this was a dumb idea
