Summer Time

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Professor Taboo

At last the school year has ended and once again I find myself with a bit more free time. More free to recharge batteries. More free to reflect on what has been done, what needs refining, and what needs more attention in the future. Free for more time to do things I enjoy doing for myself, like more blogging. One summer project I am very excited about and looking forward to this June is watching every single game of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, cheering my two national teams: USA and Brazil!

It is my hope that during these short two and a half months I will be able to post much more often than once a month. With that said, I’d like to ask my followers — if they have not already and understandably forgotten about me — what they would like to know, or what subjects you would be interested in me writing about. The floor is open, the mic is open; let me hear your suggestions or questions. I shall do my best to accommodate… within reason naturally.

I will also do my best to catch-up with my many other blogging friends and their posts who I have unwillingly been absent! My sincere apologies. If anyone knows of a way to add MORE hours to a mere 24-hour day, please, I beg you tell me! I have really missed blogging and reading and commenting with all of you this past school year. Let’s reconnect!

Therefore, of my followers, is there or are there any subject(s) you would be interested in me writing about or discussing? Anything at all. If not, I should be posting with my next topic shortly.

Have a fantastic summer! I plan to!

Other Duties Call

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Professor Taboo

I am finding less and less time on my hands to blog or to follow the many blogs I enjoy following. Why? For one, I’m way out-of-town right now (I scheduled this post beforehand) at my son’s baseball tournament for 5-days and 4-nights. He is a very good catcher on a good little league team; they typically go far in tournaments. Summer is pretty busy when you have kids.

Another minor reason is because of the remote location I am temporarily living: far southwest rural Texas has few choices for internet providers. Their streaming data packages are either very limited or if not “limited,” very expensive. Hence, if it’s not all closely monitored, data uploads and downloads can snowball and quickly get expensive. And as some of you tech-savvy and internet-savvy bloggers may know, most websites and browsing can DEVOUR data speeds, streaming data limits, etc, etc, like an angry momma bear defending her cubs! That’s one reason my internet per diem is fixed and not unlimited.

The other reason, the main reason, is my upcoming licensing exam in July to be certified in Special Education Early Childhood through 12^th grade (EC-12). The preparation for this exam is critical because I already have at least four school districts (and growing) who want me to pass it and work for them. And so I must pass it…for a number of reasons. Not long after acquiring the certification, I will have to prepare and move to my new job location.

Therefore, this is my quick simple bulletin that I have not become disinterested in blogging or following your particular blog, but that my personal priorities for the next two months dictate I give more time to a very significant goal/license (and expansion of future opportunities) and less time to things not as significant. One universal truth that will never change is 24-hours in a day. No matter how you slice it up, no matter how you shift this or that, there will never ever be more than 24-hours. Technically, and for health reasons, we have only 17-hours per day — about 7-hours of sleep doctors agree is required for the body to recoup. Boom.

I will try to blog and follow blogs as my time allows now and for the summer, however, as August approaches many educators are busy gearing up for the start of the school year, and in some cases – like me even when I’m not preparing for a licensing exam – they start in July.

There are many, MANY posts I’ve started, some I’ve almost completed, and others that are merely in the concept/idea stage that will all eventually get posted/published on here. For example, these are a few in the works and not in any order…

After Dark – Part 2
Exiting a Wing-suit in Mid-flight
L’absurdité de la Guerre
“For the Kids”
Chasing the Golden Mortarboard
Phi –What?
(none of you steal my ideas here! *wink*)
Fecal Pushers
You Have To Come Home
The Holy River
The Collective Imperative
I Want You
and The Major Sex-Ed Problem in Texas to name a few…

…so I will not be disappearing. Just not posting or visiting as much until my schedule has more flexibility.

This is therefore a See You A Little Less, and not goodbye. Feel free to email me (professor(dot)taboo(at)gmail(dot)com) if you would like. I check emails daily.

Blogging Less Frequently

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Professor Taboo

Just 2 1/2 weeks ago I was hired on as a full-time teacher for the 2011-2012 school year. Yes, quite unexpected but welcomed news. Of course, 10 days preparation for your students is trying to say the least! I have been a VERY busy, busy man. I will continue to be very busy likely up to the holiday break.

With that said, I will unfortunately, or fortunately for me, have less time for my blogging and writing here. Some of you might be pleased to know that, assuming of course that for some bizarre reason you are still checking in here. Hah! But nonetheless, I want to state that instead of a blog every 3-5 days, they will pop-up about every 1-3 weeks….maybe. *wink*

As I settle in to my new position and find a comfortable routine and balance, I will write/blog more consistently. Meanwhile, peruse through the archives here if you like or if you’re not subscribed, check back every 2 weeks or so.
