Getting ready to watch the Boston Marathon. I'll actually be paying attention this year, as my father is running in it.

Heading back to school starting this summer. It'll be a bit odd being an old student.  It'll be even odder going for an Associate Degree when I already have a Masters, but I already have the common core courses covered from previous work and I want enuf of the subject matter courses that I might as well pick up the degree since it won't entail any extra work on my part.

Y'all are looking at the captain of the Upstate New York quiz bowl championship team here. We made quiz bowl great again by repeatedly crushing Ithaca High School with our mighty brains and redeemed our loss from last year. That time it was me solo vs. Ithaca's full team with me coming in second; this year it was our full team (sort of) vs. Ithaca's best player with him coming in second.

Accounting.  I started working part-time at a tax prep place last year, more to help a friend out than anything else, but ended up doing more and more this past year at his full year accounting firm.  While I don't need the schooling to keep the job, which at this point is mainly data entry and back office, I thout I might as well get some formal schooling in what I'm doing.  To my surprise, when I mentioned my plans to that friend, he offered to have the firm pay for it, which was a pleasant surprise.

Trying to find a job, it's really difficult.

Indeed.

But then I landed one, too bad I ended up murdering the car battery (good thing the manager seems to understand.).

Another $100+ down the train for my own stupidity to replace the thing.

I actually tried my hand at being a principal (My name was actually Principal Rooney at that time) and I hated it. I really hated it. Imagine breaking up fights all day, managing a lunch room of 120+ kids and then at 3:15 sitting down to three hours of paperwork. I did that for a year and said good bye. I do not care that the pay was about $20,000 more than I was making as a teacher. I had to deal with twenty grand more problems.

So, the Tallahassee area has been flooded with homeless. The rumor 'round town is that five to six buses bringing them in from Atlanta with one way tickets pulled in on Sunday. You can't walk down the street without being asked for money, food, or cigarettes. It's becoming very aggravating, a many of them are very persistent and even get angry.

Today, around 6:00 PM (still broad daylight), my buddy Mike and I were on the front steps of my building smoking some cigarettes. He had his laptop out and was showing me something from the Dream Defenders group on Facebook. Mike is black, a Sanders supporter, and is very involved in the Juvenile Justice movement (he was on a C-SPAN panel a few months back) but was very upset about some SJW'ery post on their page that claimed that Harriet Tubman was an anti-capitalist revolutionary. As we were laughing about that, we were accosted by yet another bum.

He angrily demanded that we pull up some video on YouTube about compound interest and then started angrily screaming that he fast forward it to about six minutes in. When I took a glance at the screen, he began to scream "this ain't no white boy stuff" and told me to go inside. I took offense with that and told him to "fuck off back to Frenchtown." That angered him and he threatened to fight both of us, to which point my adrenaline kicked in and I decided to remind him that his shirt was inside out. My friend also noted that the video was dumb and tried explaining how it made literally zero sense (he's a finance major at FAMU) and the guy insisted that it made his dad rich. My buddy then asked him "so why 'aint you rich? You look like you just crawled out of Frenchtown."

At that point, he repeated his threats, and began screaming at my friend for being "a house n" and "traitor" for hanging out with the "cracker enemy" and so forth. I forget what led to him storming off, but he eventually went away. I'm rather paranoid about running into him, and the owner of the liquor store across the street told me that he was there all day in the parking lot demanding that the black patrons watch his video (and yelling at white patrons) until he had the police called on him. I guess that's when he showed up at my building.

Fun times in Tallynasty. I'm wondering if one of these days all these bums and street scum might turn on the students in town Planet of the Apes style (that gives me a short story idea Tongue)

Just saw my buddy from yesterday walking up the street screaming at some kids who have to be around 10-12 years old. They were leaving the Burger King across the street from me and walking back into Frenchtown.

I came into my apartment yesterday, and there was a 6 page Spanish-language newspaper on my couch opened to an article about protests and discontent at a Trump rally. XD In case, I go missing, you all should probably know. A rapist or murderer (or possibly good person) may have left it there.

2nd day of my business workshop in Upper Austria.

The workshop and debate is so technical that I almost fell asleep, but the people and the food are great.
