Valentine's Day '05

I think King of the Blogs sucked the life out of me this week. I haven't felt too motivated to post anything.

I did want to say, however, Valentine's Day is a nice holiday for some and not so fun for others. Fortunately, I'm in the first category these days thanks to my wife, Crystal. And, I just wanted to say I'm thankful for that.


I just wanted to say:
Happy Valentine's Day, Babe. I love you more and more each day.

Well, I got much love from the judges on overall blog and my response to the challenge question. It was the submitted entry that killed me. My job sent me out of town this week and I really wanted to write two new posts for the contest, but I didn't have the time and I did all my submissions Monday night. Oh well, at least it was close and I didn't come in third. Which is kind of funny(the guy with the most votes in the poll came in dead last! crazy.)

I know if I had been in-town all week, I could have won(I could've given more to it). But it was a lot of fun, and I had a good time.

I sent out about a dozen e-mail last week asking folks to vote for me. Some did, and I said I would thank them in my Blog. So, without further ado...

Thanks go out to(all super-cool people):

Hot for student

I'm not exactly sure what grown women see in having sex with a pre-teen boy! I do know that when I was a pre-teen boy, I wished that whatever it was, would be apparent in me. Unfortunately, that never happened. But it seems to be happening more regularly in the last few years. Of course, there could be a rational explanation behind all of this. Maybe these boys are really grown men trapped in young boys bodies, trying to fulfill their manly urges with the only women that understand them, their teachers. Or maybe these ladies are out of their damned minds!





I still can't see getting all hot and horny over someone you taught how to write in cursive, or the multiplication tables. I suppose I just lack the background in educating young people, and can't see the connection being made between teacher and student. Maybe I need to do further investigation into this subject. I could pose as a teacher, become close to several students, and commence to have sex with dozens of attractive young underage girls. It would be a difficult and time-consuming task, but I think I might just be the man for the job.

Teacher charged with having sex with student, 13

Wednesday, February 9, 2005 Posted: 8:45 AM EST (1345 GMT)



Teacher Pamela Turner is free on $50,000 bond.



McMINNVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- An elementary school teacher has been charged with having sex with one of her students, a 13-year-old boy, at his home and at school, authorities said Tuesday.



Pamela Turner, 27, was charged Monday with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape for acts between November and January.



Turner, who teaches physical education at Centertown Elementary, lived at the boy's house "for a brief period of time when she was moving from residence to residence," Warren County prosecutor Dale Potter said. The boy's parents did not know anything about the relationship, he said.



Potter said Turner was arrested Monday in Clarkrange, her hometown about 55 miles northeast of McMinnville in central Tennessee.



Conviction on all counts could be punished by up to 100 years in prison. But Potter said it was more likely that a conviction would mean a minimum of a year to several years in prison.



Turner is free on $50,000 bond. She's been placed on leave by the school system.



A telephone message left at the home of her father, who lives in Clarkrange, was not immediately returned Tuesday evening.



Turner's husband filed for divorce in January, alleging inappropriate marital conduct, according to the Southern Standard newspaper in McMinnville.

Out of town

A promise

My hand to God, I swear I'll never eat a dozen BBQ wings and 40 pizza rolls, again! Super Bowl, or not. Thank you.





::Stomach explodes, and covers walls in marinara and wing sauce::



(sighs)God, that felt good!

The theory

I think I would have been a really good duck(here me out, now!). I mean, do you really think we're all meant to be humans? Maybe we are, but I could really swim well, and have no problem waddling after bread crumbs. Which is why I'm writing this post tonight. I have a subject I want to discuss, and in a way, also beg for your pity on me(by squawking and begging for bread crumbs!).





My subject is actually... a theory. The Theory of Blogativity. The name is deceptivitely complex for something rather simple. In essence, the Theory of Blogativity states "if one blogger knows it, all bloggers will know it, if the information has legs of it's own". Like when I slipped in the shower, breaking my leg. The paramedics were called and later I had to explain why I was in the shower in my mother's dress(It was for Halloween, I swear). It was a difficult time for me, but the rumors about the hamsters were just uncalled for! But, through the Theory of Blogativity, and my no-good cousin, the news spread like a wildfire.



Of course, many bloggers would also use the term to describe the vicious cycle that is blogging itself. Not only do many people want to have their voice heard, but they also enjoy searching out and hearing the voices of others. I know I've spent many hours reading about some grandmother's cats(Newman was the mischievous one), or how some guy on the West coast wants to put a pencil in his boss's eye(don't let Wal-Mart get to ya, Sherman). Then, there's the folks who want to gloat when their teams when sporting events(I don't care, Pietro, I have to say it! THE EAGLES WILL RISE AGAIN!).



Afterward, I often ask myself,"Why, Norrin, why?". I guess it's all due to the Theory of Blogativity. Of course, everyone has their own opinion. My brother, Mike, would simply relate this to his Theory of Loser-ocity, of which I am the thesis. My wife would simply attribute it to mild retardation. I, on the other hand, prefer to believe I have a strong hunger for knowledge and interesting people. But, that could just be the retardation talking. Speaking of retardation, I like a man who's into wood paneling, Ogre(was that a compliment, or an insult?... Yes, it was).



So, really the Theory of Blogativity doesn't have one true meaning, but is a amalgam, and a malleable term for simply being a die-hard blogger. With that said, I want to do some waddling now. No one is home, and I want to express my inner spirit. I pray that someday I'll get the chance to live out my feathered dreams. Until that day comes, I'll just settle on my more realistic goals and wear one of my mother's dresses(it's for Halloween!).



Maybe Graham Chapman should come in, dressed as a policeman, and break this up for being "far too silly", Songstress. Nah, I just need to grow up and quit watching Cartoon Network all day.
