These Guys are Amazing

i don't know what it is recently, but i have been craving good new music and a good new book. i think that part of it is because i have not had either for a while and i don't have the money for either so that is part of it also; you always want what you can't have. well, if you have seen keith's blog recently then you have already seen a bit of these guy. i am really into them all of a sudden and it was one of those great accidental discoveries, like perhaps you are the first to ever hear them; i am not. here are a couple more songs; i love bookstores.

Feel Good Teacher Stuff

i am not usually a fan of feel good teacher stuff. there is really not that much to feel great about, my students don't do their homework, my parents believe that they teach better than i do, i never have enough materials, there are always more things to do that have nothing to do with my teaching than there are things that have to do with my teaching, but just when this is all getting me down the students walk into the classroom and i can no longer remember what it was i was complaining about and i can not imagine doing anything else. here are a couple of videos that give some insight.

**WARNING THESE ARE A BIT CHEESY, BUT I LIKE THEM AND THINK THAT THEY ARE CLEVER.**

Out of Order Spain Pictures

for new years eve we had a huge paella at the hostel that we stayed at; calamari, chicken, and prawns all combined with seasoning, rice, peppers, onions, tomato, the whole shi-bang. it was great and we then went downtown with everyone for a ridiculous concert. it was all very cool and fun.
there were a lot of street performers in malaga and this guy was pretty cool. there were also a lot of people pretending to be statues, some pretty impressive. super cool.
here is adam cranking away with his crazy spinal column muscles. makes the girls go wild. no seriously this is 8a+ and he did it wet. sick
wow. kinda big.
artsy fartsy.
pretty sweet we gave a euro to a statue guy got suckers and a little show (he moved).
leanna's tentative first steps.
in hindsight that was a bit scary.
awe.
real life star trek
adam's hair giving him a hand
a beautiful house and a beautiful picture
chocolata con chorros in downtown madrid. eleftheria had a six hour layover, so we decided to escape downtown. it was pretty sweet and my spanish actually did a pretty good job.
another street performer. cool pic.
one of the few climbs i actually made it up. super wonderful and one of the great days.

sorry that these are out of order, but whatever. oh, and here are the following breakthroughs i made while in spain:

1: the saying, "the rain in spain falls mainly on the plains," is b.s.
2: also "costa del sol" change to "costa del llueve"

have a good day and i will check in soon.
