Getting the hang of this...

So, originally I got interested in writing a blog when I decided to teach my students about it last year. I wanted to do something new with them, something relevant, something that might hold their interest for more than the usual ten minutes or so that they tended to last on the outdated and useless curriculum prescribed by the New York City Board of Education. Yes, I was one of the brave souls who entered into the NYC education system and taught high school in the Bronx for five years. I almost can't believe that when I say it now... five years. The hardest hardest hardest thing I have ever done. Anything after that seems like a cakewalk truly.

I'm getting it now for myself and I'm excited about the whole process...

I just spent half an hour talking to my sister on the phone. She lives far away and we are very close so it is always hard to be reminded that she is so far away. My older sister lives close to her now so I want to get some time soon to visit with both of them. My younger sister just had a baby making me an uncle for the first time. It has made me think of kids... whether I want them (I do) and how I'm going to get them (I'm gay). It's been on my mind more of late because of the wasteland that my life has been turned into over the past few months (more on that to come too).

Okay so before I really start laying it all out here I want to get some pics up on my blog.... let's see if I can find something good - some boys to preview...
