The Wizard is Dead--much much much love to the Wizard!

My friend, my contemporary, my metaphysical wizard, Asif Rahman, died this week... I am floor`eed. Asif was not my closest closest friend and i have not seen in him years, yet we spoke frequently, via emails and phone...I will miss him, I am at work and feel a swell of sadness pushing tears to the forfront of my eyes so I stop now.. He will be laid to rest tomorrow, I can't belief such a light, such a positive kid, poof, gone...I will pay my respect, I will pay homage to the one and only, Asifilicious, Asif, The Metaphysical Lyrical Wizard....He is on my mnyspace page, check him out...what a guy he was!! PROUD TO HAVE KNOWN HIM!

PEACE AND LOVE ETERNAL FOR YOU ASIF......

roommate gets boot...

well, actually, he didn't get the boot, he had to take himself out of the equation because of some serious reasons and I'm not mad at him, we didn't sign any legally binding papers yet and we just begun to look at places, but i had a feeling ti might come to this, i love billy but i had a strange feeling it might not work out, better sooner than later, then i would have to kill him, but as it is, i'll find a place for myslef, its not impossible and its morte manageable..its all going to wqork out...deb,,, be angry---get back to roots...luv ya sugar,, thanks for lsitening even though i'm bad at keeping my phone call promises...cheers,,, you are strong!!!!

and a happy new year...

I am all about this new year and even though i received the annoying news from the NYC Board of Ed. that said they will not consider me for an interview into the NYC Fellows Program this year, I'm still happy. I mean, that was where I wanted the year to end up,, interview,, start training and taking course in June and be ready to teach for the next 2-3 years beginning in September 2008, with my MA in Education paid for by the city---that would have been nice. Oh well, maybe next year I'll apply again, at least they didn't keep me waiting and guessing very long, they let me know within two weeks, how very kind of them to let me know sooner than months down the line. Either why, must move on. I am excited to be getting an apartment by feb 1st, will begin my hunt this weekend, roommate in tow. I'm still with the temp agency, they have done me right these last few months, with only a week and a half to two weeks without wqork here and there, besides tjhat, they've kept me employed and its been fun and interesting...this year will be amazing, to hell with the nyc fellows program, it can't break this stride of mine, i mean really, with all the numbskulls in the nyc schoo system, I'M not good enough, pish posh!!!...happy new years to all!

smiling..
