About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Dropping Out Had Nothing To Do With Homework

Texas Teacher Creates No Homework Policy — and Parents Are Loving It!
by Diana Bruk for Good Housekeeping on MSN.com
"On August 16th, Samantha Gallagher of Fort Worth, Texas, shared a note that her daughter, Brooke, brought home from her teacher, Mrs. Brandy Young. The note announced that Mrs. Young would no longer be formally assigning homework, and that the only homework that students would have would consist of whatever they did not finish during class. The response on Reddit has been encouraging, with many users saying they wished this had been the policy back in their day. I have this vivid memory of being in kindergarten and the teacher passing out a homework assignment that was something like practicing writing a letter of the alphabet in upper and lower case inside dotted lines, one user wrote. I just started doing it when it got put on my table in front of me, and then the teacher took it and gave me a new one and said Class, can you guys tell him what kind of work this is supposed to be? and then like half the class in unison goes "HOMEWORK!" So lame."
I agree hundred percent with this
Teacher.
When I went to school,
I never brought a book home
or homework home up until I graduated from
High School.
My
Senior
year in
High School,
I only had a half a day of school because I had so many credits already accumulated.
And I was accepted into
Four Different Colleges.
That is why I always tell people who think they are so smart,
"I dropped out of more colleges then you'll ever attend!"

This is,

It Had Everything To Do With Hemp,

And,

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.”
- Kurt Vonnegut -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
