For the Record, There are More Ghosts in the Machine than I Care to Think About

You can try 1 thing or another, but when he or she tells you they are "cross and not coming back" you better listen...But it's so hard to listen when Rome is a heartbeat away...Like vacation sounds nice, but permanent vacation not so much...So narrow your irons down...Yes, that's what I've been doing but it's landing me with makeup on my face and a brush in my hand...well this may sound obvious, yet "work hard, play hard." So you want to work, but you don't want to flounder, you want to be vain, but you don't want to be pretty, it sounds like you want to turn back the clock 15 years...Well that's the obvious punchline, but it's more like my vitals are not registering...So talk about your poor health then...But no-one is listening, and when they do they take it severely out of context...So charge less for health care...That's likely the reason I don't have a cell, and why my hygiene is relatively good, and why I take care of household chores without too many problems...

Again, he's goading you into non-productive reasoning...

The problem is the man is afraid of reason, but his shadow is not, so he's leading the witness farther than you can imagine...

He digs up the past to distract, but again noones listening...

You know some real bad tricks and you need some discipline...so from now on I'll just tell him "ask your wife"

I'm repeating myself and noone is listening, I'm still getting mighty good at peachy sunny disposition...

So when only the wrong people listen you wonder why you try at all...and I'm beginning to believe that "the man" is already dead, and the little people aren't so little... It makes you want to nay-say "the man" right into his own hands...like how much death can you really take, and let me tell you, he's not as bad as he claims... Seriously though, when it's pomp and circumstance, you just pick up baggage as you pack your baggage...It's lose-lose...and I'm sure dear Mom and Dad have their reason, but "Quit picking fights and live a little." And I'm sure not talking about myself...And he's twisting my words in the worst way...as if taking my health wasn't enough...He'll treat you all right...

I'm Not Afraid of Empire Building but there Must Be a Cap

So people say progress is a funny beast when you're trying to be useful and at the same time calm....I think I went through a little on this front to contribute to the cause...

So, when you're trying to be social, and build, you look for ways of functioning...Everyone draws the line at a different place, but in essence you have to use to re-use... So for the sake of argument we'll say that it takes a catalyst to be social... Now most people are calm enough that they can function without the catalyst, but when we enforce the typical DARE program on young people, it gets showy as they try to progress past puberty... I don't think the answer is drugs though that is 1 way of doing it...I would say "fun" catalysts like arts and crafts, but they are severely limited without the space to use them... So we call it candy and pop and presents and leave it at that. But even when they improve they are met with resistance...and it's the resistance that's doing it too...

So, the real question is why do we jump to conclusions when young people improve? It's not nearly as natural as it sounds...it's a closely guarded school class that gives options for progression. You could say we're graduating kids as they go... But I guess what I'm trying to say is most people, young and old, don't have the curriculum to maintain healthy use... Things like syllabuses(and reviewing them), teacher's assistants, special programs, and physical education, all contribute to a well balanced curriculum, but the studies themselves must also put forth content, and students must be able to keep their progress in real terms(most likely on computers)...and no I don't mean medals in video games...

But where will this content come from? Well, I'm glad you asked... It should be a combination of the teacher's resources and the student's creation... But the gold stars we put on the student's paper should mean the student can draw on their creation for a lifetime...Restricting curriculum in the name of use is like trying to play leapfrog over tall buildings...It's not practical and it's not helpful...And this is exactly why I said I want a dog and not education talk...1 with a long snout....
