Paul Feig's KICK ME



I've been reading another Paul Feig memoir, titled KICK ME: ADVENTURES IN ADOLESCENCE. It's as funny as SUPERSTUD!

They [teachers] simply should have figured out what the most important subjects were that we would need later in life and then told us that they were forbidden to teach these things to us. We would have paid every penny of our allowances just to hear tales about the taboo isosceles triangle or the verboten declarative case, and the con job would have been complete. But, no, they would simply try to convince us how important these subjects were and so the only attitude we rebellious children could possibly adopt was one of total indifference. It's because of this that I've always felt the school system is designed completely backward. Because when you're in school, the last place you want to be is IN school. And once you graduate and get out in the world and start learning just how much stuff you should have paid attention to when they were teaching it, school's the only place you truly want to be. And yet, by that time, you're stuck smack-dab in the middle of the adult world, and going back to school at that point just makes you seem like kind of a... well... loser."


Notice that I've started to apply my HTML learning.

I'll Be Back!

I recently picked up the book HTML 4 FOR DUMMIES, so I'll soon be able to improve the quality of these posts, including fancier titles and thumbnail images.
