My Wish for Education

If I could make a wish for education, it would be for more schools like the one that Steve Perry founded...
Capital Charter Prep.



and Ron Clark founder of Ron Clark Academy...





The great thing is that many educators are being invited in to learn and hopefully adopt some of their methodology.  There are many ways to learn and learning CAN be fun.  Let's hope and pray that more individuals like these step forward for the sake of our youth.

Fall TV Shows I'm Actually Anticipating

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I'm not a big TV watcher except for news, sports, or documentaries.  But this coming Fall season there are a few shows that I am actually looking forward to seeing.  So here they are:

"V"
Since I do enjoy Sci-Fi I got hooked on this show last season.  It's an update of a Sci-Fi show of the 80's that I watched as a kid.



"Undercovers"
This reminds me of the motion picture "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"". I have a healthy appetite for spy movies and romance so I'm thinking this should do the trick.



"The Apprentice"
I have watched all the seasons since the beginning and although this is considered "Reality Television" I look forward to this season since The Donald is going back to his original format of choosing everyday folks to compete to be his apprentice. The last few seasons were "Celebrity Apprentice" which were nice for a minute and I appreciated the charitable giving but got a little tired of some of the washed up so-called celebrities. I'd rather see someone who has lost their job have a chance at success.



"The Event"
I have heard this show described as a cross between "Lost" and "24". And since I have family members and friends who raved over both, I'm going to check this out.
It also doesn't hurt that Blair Underwood is cast as the President of the United States.

McRage

When I saw this story I couldn't help but think that McDonald's Chicken McNuggets must be laced with crack because when this lady couldn't get hers she went OFF!  If you haven't seen this video footage yet, take a look.  I believe this may be the third time that I have written a post on displaced anger either here or on my Changing Direction blog.  People need to get a grip!

Fed Up!

Have you ever had such a bad day at work that you were tempted to quit your job in a dramatic way? I think many have at least fantasized about doing it. Well, a flight attendant for Jet Blue recently did the ultimate "I quit!" but with expletives. Check out the video.

I think it's funny that he grabbed a couple of brewskies on his way out.
This guy is getting lots of media coverage and support and there is already a Facebook fan page set up for him as well as a Free Steven Slater page. Do you think he deserves to serve time in jail for deploying the emergency slide?  Will his 15 minutes of fame be extended into something more?  Will he get a reality show?  I'm being facetious about the reality show.  It just seems that these are the days and times where odd behavior is seemingly rewarded.  What say you?
