Go Go Power Rangers: Ron Wasserman

What is a noun you may ask?

What does it do?

I decided to take this task

And help define it for you.

A noun can be someone

Like Sue and Jim and Ben

In fact it can be anyone

Isn’t that a gem?

An animal can be a noun

Like lions, birds, and snakes

You’ll never keep them down

They sure have what it takes.

A noun can be a place

Like a kitchen, study, or hall

It can even be outer space

Not on Earth at all!

A noun can be a thing

Which covers all you stuff

Like that golden ring

Never treat it rough.

That’s all you need to know

I hope this has given you a clue

 With this knowledge you can show

The world what you can do.

Andrew and Matt talk about Batman… Again.

At the end of 2009 I finally graduated from college. I leftGeorgiaStateUniversitywith two BA degrees; one on Journalism and the other in film. I had been heavily involved with radio and wanted to get into that field. I’ve kept my audio editing skills in use by making a monthly podcast that I really enjoy doing. While I had decent credentials, it didn’t seem to matter as I never even got a job interview with the numerous places I applied. I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of writing freelance since I was also considering being a film critic and just didn’t find anything that I felt I could do. So needless to say I felt pretty low. The job I have at a grocery store was one I’ve had while I was in college. I’m happy to be employed but this isn’t exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I knew something had to be done.

Last June I applied for and was accepted into a teaching certification program. It lasts for a full year and thus far I’ve been doing well at it. It required some additional tests to show that I was qualified to teach the subjects I applied for. As it stands once I have been certified I can teach Language Arts (Middle Grades) and English (6-12) and I will probably take more tests later to expand what I can teach. The program is done in two parts; the first half is mostly book work and projects and the second half is a built-in internship where I take on the role of a student teacher. Starting January 4th, I will be in a middle school learning how to be a real teacher.

This poses some problems though. Like most internships this is unpaid work, and because I am require to be there every day I have to reduce my hours at my paying job. I’m not living with parents anymore and have to make rent and pay for food and all that on my own. Thankfully I do have a roommate to share in the rent but it’s still going to be very tough on me. I’m also nervous about the whole thing. I’ve never had to be in charge of that many kids before and middle school aged kids are not the easiest to deal with. Plus I still have to do plenty of additional work to pass the course so it’s not like I just show up and help the teacher. I am required to make my own lesson plans and teach them. The course runs until the end of the school year in May so I know I’ll be cutting it close with my funds, which is small to begin with.

So yeah. I’m nervous. But its time. Time for me to move forward with my life. Time for me to make use of the knowledge and skills that I’ve picked up. I know its going to be rough at first but once I’m done I know that I’ve accomplished something big and that I will have new opportunities. Does this guarantee a job? No. Of course not. I don’t expect a full time job right off the bat. I anticipate that I will substitute teach while still working the grocery job until a full time position comes along.

I just know that I have to keep moving forward. 2012 will hopefully be the year of opportunity.

Characters

Statue of a Man

Statue of a Woman

Scene

In a small room in a fancy house two statues stand at the far corners and are facing the door leading in .(The audience) The statues are incredible works of art; the man looking noble and the woman the essence of beauty. A clock chimes midnight from somewhere in the house.

Slight movement as the woman inches her head towards the man

Woman Statue: Do you think they are all asleep my love?

Man Statue: Hard to say. (More softly) Better we keep it down until we are sure.

Woman: I do not wish to stay quiet anymore. We do enough of that during the day.

Man: Yes, but that is what we must do. It is our purpose to be looked at and spoken about but never spoken to.

The statue of a man moves his arms a bit but does not take move his head. He continues to watch the door.

Woman: They are silly things; people.  What do you make of them?

Man: They can be interesting and a nuisance, often both at the same time.  

Woman: Tell me who bothers you.

The woman, now moving more fluidly turns her whole self to the man. The man turns slightly from his position, but still keeps watch on the door.

Man: The snooty stuck up ones. Always assuming they are better than everyone else because they have more of everything. Underneath it all they are never happy, it shows on their faces.

Woman: I have noticed that myself. I don’t care for the maids.

Man: (Now fully turning towards the woman.) The maids?

Woman: Yes. They are so very rough when they are cleaning. It’s supposed to be a dust rag, not a club! I think next time they do that I’ll give them a good smack.

Man: (Laughing.) You’d give them a heart attack if you do.

Woman: Is it time yet?

Man: No, not yet. What people do you like?

Woman: I like it when they bring the children.

Man: The children?

Women: (Happily) When they look at us, they do not try to think about meaning, style, method, or any of that nonsense the artists talk about. When they look at us, they see the life we have, the beauty of life.

Man: I too have felt this way. The world has not gotten to them yet.

The clock now strikes three

Man and Woman together: At last!

They move towards each other. Their steps just as artful as their forms, they quicken and finally reach and embrace one another. They begin to sway and move in unison.

Woman: How I long to dance with you during the day. It is sheer torture to see you across the room and not be able to go to you. A few hours at night are not enough!

Man: I am happy with the time we get. I could stay in the corner for centuries if it meant I could dance only a minute with you.

They dance more eloquently now. Never once letting each other go, they move all around the room laughing all the while.

Woman: Why must we stay apart? Why can’t we stay like this forever?

Man: It is how we were made to be. People would not understand.

They dance more quickly now, using everything in the room; gravity could not hope to contain them; even the walls became a stage.

Man: Tomorrow will be here soon.

Woman: Let’s think of something funny to amuse ourselves during the day.

 Man: I’ll make a parody of the looks they give us. (He puts his nose in the air and imitates the snobs they see so often)

Woman: (giggling) I’ll move my eye’s when they aren’t looking.

The clock now strikes seven

Man: Our dance is at an end. We must return to our places.

Woman: Time is always our enemy isn’t it?

Man: No, we can outlast time; we will always do each day.

They reluctantly let each other go and return to their spots. Stiffness taking them once more.

YAR! Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Here be a poem for ye.

There once was a pirate,
he sailed on his ship,
one fateful day he went on a trip.

With treasure in mind,
and wind in his sails,
he hoped he would find
an island free of males.

The wenches they teased him,
the sirens they pleased him,
he knew he had found,
the ultimate kingdome.

He was there just one week,
the outlook was bleak
he had been blead dry,
“You wenches ain’t cheap!”

Yarrrrr.
