It's been a trying few days.
I avoid writing about my work for several reasons. The "workplace" extends throughout Los Angeles. Los Angeles is almost endless. Geographically it's a huge city. And it's a county too (which is even bigger than the city.)
Once, at a workshop, an expert in the field of.....told me that if he complained about anything at the school district he feared being sent to Siberia. It was a great comment: I describe my school district as Soviet. In many ways it's a smaller version of the U.S.S.R. I don't want to be sent to Siberia either. So I'll spare you some of my work stories.
And my kids. Well, they don't want you to know about what happened this weekend.
But I'll say this: There was an accident that was messy and smelly and Mom cleaned it up but what got messed was "important stuff" which got erased through cleaning! So Mom's cleaning wasn't appreciated. And furthermore, Mom cleaned up a truly disgusting mess on an empty stomach (in other words: with the kind of low blood sugar level that turns some people into raving maniacs. The maniac, clean-up woman was told to stop being immature. Well, if you really want to set off a maniac, just call her immature!)
Anyway,
My older son and I made up. No hard feelings (though, being the Mom, I still feel horrible going nuts over really gross, icky stuff in my car and one of his school books--long story, if you have kids, you've seen a version of this before. Let's just say it's like when your dog rolls in something really aromatic.)
Anyway. We watched this together twice, my son and I, amazed, and had a wonderful talk. He posted it to his MySpace. Check it out. What do you think? I know he was just a mere human, but...wasn't Lennon really something?

The animation is cool--but listen to what he says. Damn!

Thanks in advance.
Then, when you are composing your post here click on the little greenish box that says html. A new window pops up with some code but you'll find your text, and the spot you want to put the you tube box. Paste the code right where you want it, click up date and publish. Should work. Experiment a few times and you'll get it.
"if you've located the embed code on the vid page, you should also have your OS new post compose box up i'm guessing. make sure that any text or pics etc which go above the vid in your post are already in place. then go to the vid page and click on the embed code. it should turn blue. without clicking anywhere else on the page, go to the top right and hit "edit" then "select all" then go BACK to the embed code, right click, and hit "copy." minimize the vid page, bring up OS compose, and hit the "HTML" button. a large empty square box should pop up, separate from the OS compose page. right click inside that box, then hit "paste." a bunch of odd looking characters, which are in fact the embed data from the vid page should appear inside the box. once they do, go to the bottom left of the box and hit the "Update" button. the box should disappear and you should have a vid inside the OS compose box. it should look like a tan or manila colored square with a little squigly icon on it. add more text or whatever if you like, then repeat the process for the next vid."
i hope that works!
Check it out too...especially if you remember 1969!
