It sounded like a snowball and since it s snowing that s not an unreasonable assumption. I turn to see two objects descending. Crap. I go outside to check it out and sure enough there s a bird on the steps. I instinctively pick it up. I have this motherly nature about me where I want to get things out of harms way and try to help them. What can I do though It s possible this bird has done serious damage to it s cranium. But I don t know. It can! t talk. I m not an ornothologist. Damn. Put it out of it s misery Not an option. First I don t know if it s that miserable second I can t kill things. It s one of the reasons I m vegan. So I sat there on the porch holding this confused little creature. It s not the first time. I ve had to wrangle birds from my cat s mouths on the odd occasion and I don t worry about parasites as I m sure to wash my hands. So I don t know the best thing I could think of was to put it in a tree and if it s going to die then at least let it die in it s natural environment and not in the hands of the species responsible for placing windows in such an erroneous location. This post isn t meant to bum anyone out. But think about how we indirectly contribute to harming other beings on a daily basis. It s kind of a staggering idea but as we embark on this green revolution let s keep in mind the survival of other beings on this planet. Well it s snowing like crazy which is cutting into my outdoor so! ccer lesson planning big time. This isn t so much a bad thing as I m anticipating the introduction to the sport as being kind of a pain. Wait that s a self fulfilling prophecy waiting to happen. No the unit is going to be super fun and I wish the sun would come out so we could get on with it In gym today a kid called me dumb because my reffing was unfair to him at least. I told him that unless he wanted to spend the rest of the morning in the office he was to keep the insults to himself and he nearly started to cry. There s something weird with that kid. I ve noticed it since day one. He s a little off. His buddy fell on his keys later on and spent minutes on the ground howling. I thought he broke something but he insisted that it was just the wicked charley horse. He walked it off and was fine. My s and I talked about puppy mills a bit in class today since we re learning about selective breeding as part of a genetics unit. It also opened up the floor to discussions on fish farms and how genetically modified fish roaming wild might not be a ho! t idea. Though some of them were convinced it would be since it would add genetic variability to future offspring. That one stumped me for a sec. My s were fun as usual. I gave a girl the boot today for noogying another boy during my lecture. During the lab section a group confessed that they were going to miss me when I left. It was kind of touching. I am going to be saddened when I leave these kids they re total characters. One of them wanted me to admit I spend all my time outside of school at the gym and that we need to call a plumber because my pipes are about to burst . I assured him the only thing that keeps me in decent shape was the diet and the occasional band practice. His buddy told me I should try eating onions. I told him that I hate onions. He said they re good to eat like apples and that they clean you palate. I told him he was full of it and he said that tomorrow he s going to bring an onion and that we re going to chow down . His friend then told him that ! his breath is bad enough as it is and that he should probably just stay away from anything that would make it worse.
