SHARKS!!!!1 Pavelski for Mayor!!!!
2 Ya gotta love it!!!
3 San Jo, baby!!!!!
4 Ah, is there anything more fun than sports?
5 Ahhhhh...dude. Live a little. The Sharks don't always win a first game, and yeah, it's only a first game against a fierce opponent. But dude.
6 What a FUN game for our town.
7 Sometimes man, I swear to you.
8 What a game, and what a moment for San Jose.
9 Civic pride?
10 Well yeah!
11 Sorry for all of those who thought other things were important. We all respect that and everything else. But dude! Our boys did it!
12 Oh, Lordy!
13 There is much to appreciate this fine morn. I walked outside and heard a rooster. That's cool. He cock-a-doodled twice. It was sweet, distant, and early morning.
14 It ain't just sports. It's mornings. And the hills. And the flowers.
15 It's San Jose.
16 And in my sitch, it's EASTSIDE, YOU KNO!!!!!
17 Sorry.
18 I'm so "ghetto".
19 This town has some nice things. It has some horrid things. But it is home. It is a common denominator for many of us. Sometimes the place drives me mad; other times I hear a rooster in the distance. I can ride my bike past farms. I can enjoy free music downtown. I can be with family; I can be with friends.
20 If you are from San Jose, then you just know.
21 I know.
22 And so do you.
23 Sorry, but there's a LOT to be said for civic pride.
24 We all have the same background, and it's SanJo, our home, our heart, and our pride. Something about last night made me smile a lot.
25 Sing it.
26 Moving on, Part the First: As mundane as this sounds, my students applauded Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. I think it was really special because for the first time, I didn't have them finish reading it, nor did I tell them the ending. I had asked earlier when we went into this massive unit if they knew anything about Shakespeare, or Romeo and Juliet. The vast majority knew little to nothing. So watching their faces when Juliet tries to kiss the poison off Romeo's lips, only to pull away and cry out, "Thy lips are warm..." was a moment.
27 Shakespeare brought it. They all got it.
28 What a day.
29 And now we move to the sunny weekend with nothing but hope for tomorrow.
30 Well, at least ONE guy is there.
31 Who else is "down?"
32 I love that.
33 "Hey dude! You down?"
34 So cool.
35 You almost can't be not cool if you say, "Dude. I'm down."
36 Intriguing.
37 Anyway, I'm down for this weekend.
38 Anyone else?
39 ; ) <----sideways happy, winky dude.
40 I'm down.
41 In the distance, a rooster just crowed again. Sheer poetry.
42 Live life.
43 Love life.
44 Have a beautiful weekend!
45 Peace.
