HUGS Kelkhil... I'm with you. I think there are a few tiny steps I might undo, but then if it changed the outcome it'd be awful. I am so incredibly happy with where I am I'd never take it back NV Though I will say I plan to make the change of jobs to go back to teaching. I've enjoyed the experience, but honestly I miss having students and I'm just not as good at this as I am at teaching. Though I think some people don't change because they can't see the pattern they've made. I just saw a friend step once more into her pattern of picking men who are emotionally unavailable. ( the one time a guy actually changed and became available and ready to form a deep emotional bond she dumped him ) To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. --Francois Mauriac It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

Wow. That's a lot. Not sure I could do that job with such a loathing for stupid people and violent tendencies and all. Kinda wished I would have done re-cert to train shooters for various reasons/mentalities. The market exploded and asshats jumped on board that I'd rather not deal with. May need to reconsider now that so many are being recognized for their asshattery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The country is making a big mistake not teaching kids to cook and raise a garden and build fires. -Loretta Lynn

ok if you've read the play how do you not know what the paper is on? DIdn't the instructor give the assignment to read the play and write the paper? Are you supposed to write an analysis or comparative or is it the content of the play that confuses you??

he's not giving us the assignment until after we read the play @_@ but still, if it's a "pick a topic from Caesar to write on, good luck" thing, I'm screwed, 'cause I mean, it's a history. wtf can you really argue about history except what happened? This is a play about Brutus, really, not even Caesar. it's why Brutus helped kill Caesar and what happened afterward. It'll be interesting to see what he gives us.

I am really hating only having one eye. Well, still have both of them. The right is so cloudy that I can't even focus beyond the rear sight/optic enough to see the target. I can shoot left handed with long guns and there is not much of a change with handguns. Not sure what I'm really bitching about other than the loss of proper depth perception. *bitchbitchmoanmoanbitch* LOL- The above rant was NVG....gigglesnort To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. --Francois Mauriac It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

You may be asked to defend the actions of one of main characters. You may be asked to compare Brutus with Anthony, who were both Caesars friends, but one was part of the conspiracy to kill Caesar and the other sought to revenge this murder. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

O_o why does MsA only have one eye? *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* well, mr. long-winded already compared brutus to antony when we discussed it; he was making a HUGE deal over these three lines on one kriffing page, and complaining that we weren't getting it. we were like "WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT US TO SAY???? CAESAR LIKES ANTONY. WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY ABOUT THOSE THREE KRIFFING LINES???? WE'RE NOT WRITING A DISSERTATION ON IT!!!!" He was pounding us with the "some of shakespeare's greatest moments are in little insignificant lines like these" and we were still "yeah, and all he's saying there is that Caesar favors Antony. they're friendly. you've said that, you haven't said anything BEYOND that, can we talk about something else?" I'm used to professors allowing students to bring things up that they found intriguing, and sometimes leading the conversation a bit and prodding until the students DO spark something that can be drawn into a bigger discussion. This guy seems to only want to talk about what HE finds intriguing. *melts into a puddle of exhaustion* [/rant] sorry. :\

Hey all, long time no visit, keep getting wrapped up in the work thing, then busy with family. On the ponder, the only thing not to my liking right now is my living situation, sharing a duplex with in-laws, great people but just too intrusive in out lives. So, I would change that. To our own house. NO other family. Nothing else much going on. Love the D*C photos, again another year I miss. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?' 'I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

Of course he does not see that if the entire class does not see his point, then maybe it is his problem. I have to read Shakespeare over and over again and also read the commentaries before I understand what Shakespeare is trying to imply. After all, the terms he used date back several hundred years and no one knows them now. He also uses words out of context. Me thinks he protests to much. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

*double post alert* wow Traveler, we muste've posted at the same exact time XD but yeah,i think maybe he dwells a little too much on one subject sometimes :P not to say he doesn't have his comical or comprehensive moments, but even my high school english teacher (grammar queen + intense shakespeare FANATIC = d.mattei) didn't dwell for too long on a single subject in Bill's plays. XD but, on a happier note, when the bf was watching Top Gear tonight, one of the guys said 'let loose the dogs of war" and i was like "teehee, Caesar, act four *spazzdance*" XD i love it when stuff like that happens. it's like an in-joke, more so with the obscure quotes, but still.

lol, true, but it's still fun with the really obscure ones. earns a giggle XD I've read quite a bit of Shakespeare over the years ><;; *slaps self upside the head in Gibbs fashion* I try to read it out loud as much as possible because, well, you have to. They make more sense with the pauses and gestures and the emotion of *speaking* than just being read on a page (and yeah, that takes a long time, but for the sake of figuring out what the hell he's trying to say, it's worth it). You're right, he's probably trying to catch us up or something, but he seems to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get *us* to come up with what he's thinking, and because we're not mind readers, we sometimes never figure that out. I guess I'm just of the mindset that if you're trying to get a point across, and we're not getting it on our own, it's a waste of time to spend an entire class on trying to make us get it when there could be other stuff we haven't discovered that could spark more fulfilling and productive discussion. :\ I don't know ><;; its 7:30am and my brain is still half asleep, I'm more than likely rambling.

The image of Klingon Puck just flashed across my brain causing me to laugh so hard I started coughing... thansk a lot guys NV you are self educated not under educated... and if you can keep up with me you're no slouch You can do it FLT. oooh sonnet 29... ( one of the few I can do from memory, as it is my favorite) When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. --Francois Mauriac It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

One of my favorites is "Much ado about Nothing". I understood most of this play and then I saw the film with Denzel Washington. It was the very end and all but the prince started dancing through the courtyards. They leave the prince standing alone. Not till that moment did I realise the prince had no one to dance with. No one to share any joy. The term comedy has changed over the centuries. This story had its humor, but it also had very dramatic scenes. Kenneth Branagh did a fine job of giving the sadness and anger the same measure as the joy. Shakespeare does need to be seen. Fine points can be missed when just read. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

I have a friend who used to go to London for a week just to see plays there. The economy on his business has forced him to cut back on these trips. He always took in one Shakespeare play besides the more contemporary plays being shown. At least I got to hear him talk about them. Got hoot out of the Klingon "Hamlet". I can see the Klingons getting into Shakespeare. A lot of vicious politics. They can relate to that. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler
