A day that will live in infamy.

The first day I had to turn on the heat.

There is a heaven

and you get to it through an aluminum trailer.

(the line to get into heaven)

Ha

Yup, this about sums it up.

Triage

I have been performing educational triage all night long. There just aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week to do everything that needs to be done here. I feel like some of the lowest students are finally starting to believe me when I tell them they are smart enough to do what I am asking them to do. Now I have to turn around and tell them that, actually, they aren't.

House Where Nobody Lives

There's a house where I used to live
That's crowded and loud
I moved out of it a long time ago
But they all stayed with their things
Don't know when they'll ever get out
Feels like it's abandoned
Cause nobody talks
They don't know what to say
And that's why I call it
The house, the house
Where nobody lives

Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away
Did they know what it means
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

Well many things were broken
Nothing was getting fixed
Underneath the snow
The weeds were grown high
Bugs were dying in the sink
Stuck in big globs of toothpaste
Been laying there for days
But they aren't the only things
That are trapped
In the house where nobody lives.
