Comedy for Your Friday

I love this bit from Abbott and Costello.

As a teacher, I have often seen some pretty impressive reasoning in my math class. This one takes the cake though. 13 x 7 = 28 and it makes sense? Weird and funny.



Jeremy Hotz is always good for a laugh!

Hope you enjoy the comedy. If you're in the mood for a mixtape, go to chasemarch.com

It's December 10th after all - comedy and mixtapes! What more can you ask for?

Kadyelle - Diluted Shadows

Kadyelle is my new favoruite emcee. I absolutely love her album Earthworthy and if you like this track, you can go over to her bandcamp page to get it.

Not Done Talking

Doctor Who: "Anyway, that's not the plan."

Dr. Song: "There's a plan."

Doctor Who: "Not yet, I haven't finished talking."

- Doctor Who Series 5 Episode 5 "Flesh and Stone"

This quote speaks to the power of speech and how it can be used in the process of thought. It hearkens back to another favourite quote of mine, 

“I have to engage in endless dialogue before I write,” McLuhan explains, “I want to talk a subject over and over … I do a lot of my serious work while I’m talking out loud to people. I’m feeling around, not making pronouncements. Most people use speech as a result of thought, but I use it as the process.” 


- Fitzgerald, Judith. Marshall McLuhan: Wise Guy. XYZ Publishing: Montreal, 2001. pg 58-59.

I like to talk over ideas too. I find my best ideas actually come through in conversations. I don’t know why this is, but it does seem to be the case. When I read this quote, I knew that I wasn’t alone in this. 

I have solved problems in my class by talking. I have come up with lesson plan ideas through speech. I have come up with behaviour management techniques, routines, and countless other useful things through the process of speech. 

Cool, eh?

"My father often reminded me that despite the power of the sun, it's always night on half of the planet. For all the good you do, there will always be darkness."

It's Not A Deal

"It's not a deal if you don't need it."

This one is for all of us that are working on our Christmas shopping. It's so easy to get caught up in sales or deals.

That's why it's important to adopt this motto. I know that I've bought stuff I didn't really want or need because it was on sale. Hopefully I won't get so easily caught up in that now.

Happy Monday Everyone!
