My Eyes Are Smarting From the Tears Flowing Down My Face and the Noxious Fumes from the Rotting Corspe Under My Patio


Middle school sucks ass. It's a conglomeration of all that is wrong with the world. When children are hormonal and smell and sprout hairs and think they are growing up. And when social typing thrusts itself onto the unsuspecting kiddies like a dog on your leg. And then the dog blows his load and you're left with a sticky wet mess, not unlike the grimy, snot-nosed bastards who roam the halls with training bras and zit creams, voices cracking in screeches and moans, not unlike the sounds a dog makes in the throes of a back-breaking orgasm.

I used "dog and "orgasm" in the same sentence again. I need help.

Who says humans and dolphins are the only living beings that fuck for pleasure? I mean, a dog humps your leg with the same amount of passion one carves a hole in a watermelon and proceeds to...

I'll spare you the gory details of my imagination.

I guess not all of middle school is bad. Socialtyping isn't all bad, it's probably a necessary step towards self awareness. You tend to forget the times where everyone is trying to figure out if they are jocks or nerds or cheerleaders or theater kids or goths or well, the list goes on and on. It's at that moment when you realize that you are a different person. And you don't have to be into the same shit everyone else is. And you can find like minded folks all around. And then you realize that you live in Salt Lake City and everyone is Mormon and the fantasy is shattered once again.

Middle school- a welcoming committee at the gates of hell. Sometimes, I wish I could draw little cartoons to illustrate what I am saying on this blog. It might help. Like the New Yorker. But not as highbrow.

However, I don't really have the time to do more than what I am doing already. So stop pressuring me.

Uhm, sharing is caring. Which means one thing. Your money, your drugs, your material possessions, your gentials, are all mine.
Middle School Principal Charged With Buying Crack
By KEITH MORELLI
The Tampa Tribune

TAMPA – Van Buren Middle School Principal Anthony Giancola was arrested after police say he bought $20 worth of crack cocaine from an undercover officer in his office where he planned to smoke it.

Giancola, 40, is planning to resign, according to school officials.

Giancola told authorities he developed the crack habit in December after having some personal problems and was using $300 to $400 per day worth of the drug, according to Tampa Police spokeswoman Laura McElroy.

McElroy said Giancola made contact with an undercover officer a few days ago about buying $200 worth last night, but called and said he had a prior appointment and couldn’t make it. Giancola asked the undercover officer to come by the school with $20 worth of the drug.

The officer went to the principal’s office around 3 p.m. and sold Giancola the drug, McElroy said. The principal said he wanted to smoke it right there, but the officer demurred and said he didn’t feel comfortable and would leave. The principal walked the officer out to the school lobby where several other undercover officers were posing as parents, McElroy said.

They arrested Giancola on the spot and whisked him out of the school, McElroy said. He was charged with possession and solicitation to purchase the drug on school property.

McElroy said the officers tried to make the arrest as subtly as possible so as not to catch the attention of students. She said Giancola was cooperative and apologized to a bank of television reporters as he was led away.

School officials backed the police.

“We are being told the principal is resigning,’ MaryEllen Elia, school district superintendent said late Thursday. “We are in full support of the position the police took in handling this.’

“I’m very disappointed and upset,’” Elia said. “Obviously it’s unacceptable. Everything that can be done will be done relative to charges. I’m extremely disappointed.”

Elia said that Jackie Heard, a retired general director for the district will be sent to the school to help as will crisis teams of school psychologists. Elia said the principal had nothing negative in his record.

But some parents of students there were upset by the way the arrest happened.

“I can’t believe they would humiliate him like that,” said Shannon Bischel, a parent of a 7th grader at the school. “We all make mistakes and to embarrass him like that is cruel considering all he’s done for the school.”

Karen Bierce, who worked as a production coordinator in Van Buren’s cafeteria until three weeks ago, said she was shocked by news of the arrest, when informed by a reporter.

“It is blowing my mind,” she said. “Him of all people. He’s been great with the kids.”

How much is $20 worth of crack? Whitney Houston couldn't spend money on the good stuff? I can understand a Floridian middle school principal having a $300 habit but multiplatinum recording artist Whitney Houston?
So. Hmmm. His predicament is starting to feel oddly familiar...

And who's to say a crack addict can't be good with kids? You watched Being Bobby Brown, just to make yourself feel better about your life, and worse about your general views on society but we're selfish creatures...Ok, they weren't great parents.

I'm unfocused and frazzled. I blame many things.
