The Daily News
1 Welcome to YB's 2005-6 year.
2 Yeesh!
3 The entire left side of me is out of order.
4 Ever have that? Like, whatever that stupid cold is that's knocking everyone cuckoo finally settled in to my left side. It's an Entire Left Side Cold (ELSC). School is all ABOUT abbreviations. VERY big deal. I'm now officially no longer in a Tim Burton cartoon, but in a Looney Tune.
5 I always feel that colds follow somewhere along left-brain/right-brain stuff. I always confuse the two, but then usually, the only people who absolutely remember which is which are the ones who always use their right brain. Or their left brain. Or the one on the left that controls the right, or the one on the right that controls the left...
6 I just know that physically, my right side is my analytical side. I know this, because it has MUCH less wear-and-tear than my left side.
7 So I've been going through an emotional time adjusting to a fifth period Comp/Lit class of THIRTY-SIX, count -em, THIRTY-SIX students enrolled, followed by a sixth period class of freshmen lunatics.
8 It's quite a switch from a reasonably quiet fifth period last year, and a free prep period sixth, in which I generally would take off and go on GREAT rides in the TOONDRA, listening to beautiful music, and letting the afternoon sail behind like the wind...
9 So my Entire Left Side (ELS) is like a blown tire right now. I got that stupid cold yesterday, but almost simultaneously, a spider bit my left index finger, which is now a hardened purple, and quite the size of a link sausage; my left ear went deaf, and an old shin injury I received once when my left shin got clobbered by an oak table decided to act up and throb like Yosemite Sam's temper. My left tooth feels like it just got a painful cavity, and frankly, I feel like a Toon that just got hit on the left side of his head with a frying pan.
9 Po, po, pitiful me.
10 Haha!! Nah, it's mostly little annoyances, but it never ceases to amaze me how an entire side of a person can limp off from so much bending and stretching through these cartoon days.
11 I just need to ride it out. You can't really operate fully with only half of you in gear. I know this is just like a Toon getting smashed by a safe or something, so I figure in no time I'll pop right back up and get myself back.
12 That's what something as common as a cold can do.
13 It can knock a Toon out of his game.
14 Not this Toon, man.
15 Not this Toon.
17 And hopefully not you either.
16 Peace, y'all.
That's All, folks!
