Suicidal Tendencies - [Institutionalized]--- I'm going to ask you the following [hypothetical] question, and I need you to Really think about this, okay? I need you to think about it, and I need a few responses:
Knowing me, and what you know of and about me, do you think that I, Damien Williams, should be placed in charge of several dozen highschool aged kids, at a small private school, in the middle of the FreakTown Part of Atlanta?
Now, I know what you're thinkin'. (A Clockwork Orange - [I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper]). You're thinkin', "But Damien: What the fuck? Isn't that your stated goal, your purpose, and long term plan for your life? To be a major part of the educational procedure of children of all ages?" (Razed In Black - [Nightmare]). And the Answer is yes, Peanut Gallery, now that you ask, instead of answering the fucking question, like I asked you, I do want that. I want that very much, all the time, such that it is the thought that makes me warm and happy at night, because the thought of teaching children, and creating an army of thinking, feeling, discerning, Individual Human Beings to MARCH ACROSS THIS PLANET AND CREATE IT AS THEY GO is probably a really good summation of everything I am and wish to be. But let's take a step back, shall we?
Was it not Two or Three Days Ago, that I wrote something about looking toward the future, rather than continually turning back toward the past? (Chimaira - [Sphere]). Keeping a firm grasp of the past, at your back, to make your walking forward that much easier, and not letting the persistence of memory become an obsessive Nostalgia Trap (People from your "Good Old Days" may not think them so good, nor Day-like, as much as bad and benighted; they lost touch with you, and that may make them happy. Accept that.).
Danger Doom - [Perfect Hair]--- That being said, Yesterday, I, hypothetically, get this offer regarding teaching somewhere intrinsic to my past, to my being who I am. Very hard to put it behind you, when it's in your face, daily. I think, on some level, that that is exactly the point.
Shit.
And then, last night, I dream about wandering around Grady, in some adminstrative capacity. (mc chris - [robotdog]). How fucked up is that?
I need to go eat something, and drink a Lot of coffee. Only 6 hours' sleep, last night, and then I'm awake, for some reason. Tired ad awake.
