I have moved opperations into new digs: overfed.wordpress.comIt will allow a few more features that I don't have here, and is a welcome change to prior habits. This site will remain eternally....or at least until blogger deletes it.Stop on over and tell me what you think...although it may be still in construction.

Last night while eating out at a local joint my daughter ran into her first table. She has been walking for quite some time now, so I guess we have been lucky. She really popped it, running full speed and BONK (like a baseball off the top of the table). It knocked her straight on her ass. She didn't really cry initially, but gave that look of 'what the fuck did I just crash into.' It was pure

So I re-start the blog after several months. I haven't died, nor quit, I have just been busy. As some of you know, Spring is track season and it encompasses much of my time. Also during that period, I had applied for and finally got a new job at a new school. This summer was spent working on my house, playing with my daughter, and preparing for the new job.I am no longer a biology teacher

I watch waaaay too much TV.McD's is only good when you least expect it, you can't go in thinking it will be good, you will only be disappointed.Uhmmmmmm.Headaches suck balls.Having too much on your mind leads to headaches.Headaches can be cured by drinking.My wife is a good hearted woman, and I am her good time'n man.I don't want

Does a song about masturbation really make someone hungry for a burger? Come on Wendy's, give us a break.Although Gano claims that the song is not about masturbation, if you are between the ages of 30-40, that is the first thing you think of ..."big hands I know your the one..."The burger does come with a cheesy sauce.

So I have been a little hit and miss lately... Forgive me father, as it has been 2 week since my last confession. I commit to the following random people, news and views since we last spoke...Is it June yet? I dread each and every day I wake and have to go to work. I enjoy the time with the kids, but the thought of working within a building that houses the man who has essentially fired (laid

Anticipayayation. Oooooo that Carly Simon really reves my engine.This post really doen't realte to anything more than the title of this song. So, as you can see, my "New" year isn't really off to a great start. I am getting a little nervous about finding a job, even though most openings for teachers don't come out for a month or so. Coming to work each morning is torture. I dread waking up

I realize this is a late post, by almost a month now...but I had lost the mood to blog...The day before break I was notified about my position at the new school for next year (we are going into a whole grade sharing agreement...consolidation basically). It was in the form of a christmas card...it was a PINK one!So I was able to celebrate my x-mas break with a layoff for next year. Yippee

What is it with blue hairs and broasted chicken? I mean, I like a good crispy chicken tit now and then, but come on. The Gerries act like they're going to the chair tomorrow as they belly up to the ol' boo-fay. Most of them skip the salad just to make sure they can eat like 17 pieces of chicken. They're picky too, they could spend 15 minutes searching, and picking, and turning the chicken in

So I walk into my classroom the other day, just as the bell has rung. One of my students is shaking her booty with her back to me. She is facing the class. So I have to ask what's up..."Doing a little dance before class?" Huh-ha...she giggled. I was doing the machine-gun jugglies. "The what?""You know, from that movie." she proclaimed. (Austin Powers I presume)Obviously she is not the shy

Within two days of my newest post, I have 2 friends say, "Good to see ya back". I can't believe it. It makes me wonder how they knew. Maybe I sent out a blog-vibe subconsciously.I don't really have too much to comment on. So here are a few random news and views:I just finished my fall graduate courses, YEA!

In a desperate attempt to release some of the pressure from my brain, I am contemplating firing up the old blog. I hope she still has gas, and that her plugs still fire.I am sitting at home with strep throat. What a bitch. I thought that after you hit like age 20, you were immune from strep.

I am in class right now as we speak. I am taking online graduate courses and I am supposed to be listening/reading a presentation from another student. I am getting bored though. The first 3/4 is ok. The other 1/4 is an html editor review. I have heard somewhere in the vacinity of 18 of these already. So, I pay attention to the first bit, then wander the web on the other 1/4. Does this

I was at a kegger last night. It was slightly different than I rememeber them. This one consisted of patrons around the average age of 35. I was there for the begging the middle and the end. It was almost like a family reunion with a keg instead of kool aid.The morning on the day of the keg, I help to tin a shed. For those not from Iowa, or the midwest maybe, tinning a shed consists of

As my wife noted earlier this week, I have become somewhat of a bore at home. I am not working this summer (1st summer off in 17 years), I am instead a stay at home dad until august when school starts. So, consequently, I don't have much interaction with others, therefore I don't have much to say when my wife gets home. She talks about her day at work, I mention a few things Addison did, and

I can use the coaches office shitter - which I do regularily, or I can use the student one. Option OneThe coaches shitter is hardly ever cleaned but we keep it quite neat.

Blogs are like a support group for those who don't "need" support groups. If you write a story or a problem or an idea, it always seems that you get support from your readers. Unless your idea or problem is a dead hooker.Speaking of dead hookers. I won a Dewalt combo kit from my local farm supply store. it is sweet. It has a 18volt hammer drill, a circular saw, a saws-all and a flashlight.

I have an announcement to make. Not only am I corrupting young minds daily as a HS teacher, I have also begun procreating. That's right, spawn of Robby has arrived. This weekend my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Addison.She's not quite a spitting image, but she did get my dimples...all four of them.

I had to go the pharmacy last night and observed a sign that I wanted to photograph to show you all, but I am a pour ( I realize this is for liquid, but that's they way I pronounce poor) bastard who cannot afford to buy a camera phone. It said NoCrack $.99 1/2oz. So I thought what the hell is NoCrack? Here is my thought process:1> Something for Crack addicts? Like Methadone or the nicotine

Even though I most likely will be online at some point this weekend, I most likely will not post anything. I guess it's not really a weekend to most. I will be off work today at 2:30 and will not have to return until Monday. Being a teacher has it's perks, although just a few of them.So, Have a Merry Thanksgiving!Thanks for reading.

For those of you who don't know me personally, I married a younger woman. She is 6 years my junior. Although I wasn't interested in her at the time, I was her Junior High and High School disc jockey pretty much all through her educational tour at OCSD. We found it pretty strange that I had graduated college before she exited HS, even though on many occasions you wouldn't be able to tell, I am

Back in college I had a friend who had always wanted to jump on a slow moving train and ride it until it stopped, or to just jump on and take it to the next town. I thought he was crazy, who knows how long you may have to ride.Well, this past week a kid at my school did just that. He hopped on a slow moving train in town (A) and rode to his destination, town (B). The problem being, the train

I made a social science realization at a Vet's Assembly we had in school. So, as we are sitting there and listening to the choir I noticed that many of the girls that go out for choir are what some might call "trouble". You know, the girls that drink beer, smoke cig's and date the guys that are out of school already. Not that I disapprove of any of that, I just don't know of any other way to

I am waiting at school to go to a meeting at 7. It sucks. At least I am getting some things done in my classroom. So, as I sit here working at the computer (getting bored), I have been stinking up my chair. It makes me turn up my nose, and I am just happy no one is around to stop in and smell it. It's quite pungent actually, but it doesn't have any stay power, if you know what I mean.Now I have

This past weekend my buddies and I witnessed a million dollar idea, the Lazy Drinker. It is quite facinating to see. You have a laptop hooked to a cooler filled with 16 bottles and hoses. The hoses run to a valve assembly and a funnel. On the computer is a softwear program that controls the type of drink and amounts of the various liquids. For example: Screwdriver - hit that button and 2 oz. of

I bought a bar! Not a establishment but a piece of "furniture". It is sweet. It has this sweet green vinyl bumper around the top and 4 swivel stools, kind of remenisant of an old soda shop. They too, are covered with a green vinyl pad.I can't wait to give it a test run in my basement. Now all we need is a foos table...

Well, I guess I didn't really, you can't lie to someone you don't believe exists. But, I lied in church, in front of a bunch of people.

I am comtemplating a return from retirement. Although it seems a daunting task. I would like to shape things up a bit. This of course takes time. I have been suprred on from on old friend whose blog I visisted just the other day, Stimpy, over at Llama Herding 101.

For a lack of something better to do I have decided to add a chapter to my upcoming book on SFM. Hence, Rule #56.Rule #56 is as follows:To Puke...or Not To Puke. That is the question. If you would like my gut reaction (no pun intended) I would say puke if opportunity arises. It is much better to hurl, than to have that; "Uhn...I feel like shit..." feeling.

I am giving up pop. Next week track season officially begins and I told my girls that they cannot drink pop. If I catch them, the team runs killers,. I told them that if they give up pop I will give up pop. This is much easier said than done. I love Mt. Dew. I think I am addicted to the caffine. Which is OK becasue I can drink coffee. But I am affraid it's more than just the caffine.

Girl Beers. I know, we all hate them. Those unfinished beers that are left around the room. The sit their all stealthly like until the next morning when you are cleaning up. Then it just burns you inside when you think of the lost nectur inside them as you pour them into the sink.Rule #72 Was created just for this situation. It was based on an experiment that was conducted in spring 1994.

I wonder what it would be like to have boobs. Not like man-boobs (A's or even B's) I mean like big ol' knockers (C's or D's...or DD's!)I can't imagine it would be too comfortable. No bra seems too supportive. They have to bounce around a little bit. Actually they seem to bounce quite a lot.I think if my boobs were big enough to bounce it would be distracting to me.

Invest in your commitment to excellence. Proper institution attire should be purchased when you really get serious. Especially if you are like me and live in an area of extreme cold during winter. As you wisen up, and stop driving to the establishments, you will need to be warm and dry as you hike through the elements. My suggestion is to purchase a used warm coat, some $.99 brown Derby

When walking home from the bar or party, either by choice or need, make sure you look up as well as down. Your first inclination will be to stare at the ground as you stumble along.

Evestay has been living in the US for quite a while and has developed a knack for translating english to Pig Latin and vice versa. Since there isn't a lot of work as a Pig Latin translator, Evestay also works

Ok....I admit, it was pretty annoying. I guess I was trying to get that effect. I also realize that if you are not fluent in Pig Latin, than it is a little trying to read it. The best part was writing Ooseneckgay. No more posts till Monday. I am going to a track coaches clinic tomorrow. I am pretty stoked. Michael Johnson's former coach (the current Baylor coach) will be speaking. Hope

Imagine a crowded hallway if you will, 9-12. "It is not possible." "Yes it is, Mrs. Clark said so." "Let's get this solved, let's ask Mr. B" Greeeaaatt. "What is or isn't possible?" "Getting pregnant from anal sex" I spent the first few seconds trying to formulate what I was going to say. It's better that they are properly informed I figure.... "Impossible. You can not get pregnant

Do not....I repeat...DO NOT lean back in your chair in my classroom. Fat Joe wouldn't even be allowed to lean back here. If you choose to lean back in your chair I make you stand for the class period. I just made a kid stand up in my classroom for 20 minutes. It should have been the whole period but I knew I had made my point when he said, "How long? What? The rest of the period! This is

I assume many people will not be checking their blogs this week due to the holiday. So here is a little holiday funny for ya.

Has anyone seen Goose?!!! If so, please contact the authorities ASAP. No one has heard from him in over a week. I am starting to get worried.

From Discover Magazine last month. "The White House also discounted warnings of global climate change induced by greenhouse gases, contending—contrary to near-unanimous findings by U.S. research agencies and international scientific bodies—that climate change was an unproven hypothesis." Ahemmm.....Mr. Bush, maybe you should read this.

California has bucked the president a bit by passing a bill that will generate millions of dollars for stem cell research. It is something that is pretty significant for Califormia, especially due to the discoveries, and money that it will potentially generate for them in the future. It is sort of like what Iowa wants for Biotechnology here in the corn belt. Here is a link to an article

Here is one last ditch effort for you. Take this survey. When you get there: Click on Politics in the left (yellow column) Then click on Campaign 2004 in the left corner Then click on select a candidate in right hand corner Then click on survey and follow the instructions.

Try this link: Politically Uncertain It blows my mind that there are at least 3 "Pot" parties. They should all stand behind Nader and they might actually make some real noise. Let me know which party was your "favorite" of the bunch.

Did you know that without a library card you cannot check out books from the library. I don't mean you never had one, or that you aren't registered for one, I mean you just forgot it. Even with a drivers license! They still won't let you! I can use my drivers license to identify myself to go into a bar. I can use it to identify myself when I am arrested. I can even use it to identify myself

Here is some slightly biased Political Info. Do with it what you want. I found it informative and to the point.

One week until the election. This is all I have figured out so far.... - Kerry likes to flop - Bush is incompetent - Nader doesn't count (but should) - Green Party...who's that? - Where is Perot when we need him - Will Giuliani run in 08'? - Will we ever see a Swartzenager v. Ventura or better yet a Arnold "the Terminator" Swartzenager/Jesse "The Body" Ventura ticket? AAAaAaahahahahhahahahhaha

This morning I was running late to school(work). So I decided to choose a energy drink instead of my morning coffee or Mt. Dew. I only had two choices infront of me. Rock Star (which I am not) and Lost (which I usually am). There was no Monster (Goose's Favorite), and I am definately no monster. It was your basic energy drink. No real definate taste difference from any other. It was
