First NHL Regular Season Game

Okay, so up until this weekend I had been to regular season games in 3 of the "Big 4" sports leagues. I'm happy to say that I completed the set this weekend and saw the Oilers down the Wings in a shootout. They really pack you in at Rexall Place...you get to know your neighbour more than you want to!
Big Congrats to the Huskie Men's Basketball team!! Putting Saskatchewan on the basketball map with a HUGE, first ever, National Championship!!

Portfolio Proposal

I have chosen to do an eportfolio. I think that it will come in handy when I am applying for jobs, especially jobs that are out of province. It will give prospective employers a better idea of who I am. I think this portfolio will be good if I am on the sub list. I can give teachers my web address and they can have a better understanding of who is teaching their class while they are away.

This will also be nice if I manage to get a contract. I can give parents the web address and they can see who is teaching their kids. As a parent, I would find this very helpful.

I will include my philosophy of education, my resume, examples of lesson plans and rubrics that I use and also some links to websites that I might use in a class room (teachertube, literary websites, etc.)

I am a little concerned about not having enough content. I plan to combat this through creative layouts and, of course, including as much content as I can.

Here's a rough layout of the main page:

Suburban Nightmare

My wife and I just bought a home in Stonebridge. Don't get me wrong, I really like the new house. The problem is that I already have a mini-van, so moving into the burbs pretty much confirms the fact that I am no longer cool. Oh well, maybe I'll buy a leather jacket...that'll make me look cool.

Paper Proposal

I will be looking at censorship/freedom of speech with regard to the internet

Kyle of Graham - 1st King of England

Did you know that I was one of the first kings of England? I can prove it. Go to wikipedia and type in "List of English Monarchs" and you'll see that Kyle of Graham was the first monarch under the House of Wessex.

What's Up With The Title???

Some of you may be wondering "Awesome J, what's up with the title of your blog?" and some of you may be wondering "Is Lady Gaga a dude or a chick?". Well, I can't answer that last question but the answer to the first is pretty simple: I heard a song by The Headstones the day I started this blog and that song said something about Rock N Roll and Comic books and bubble gum. Thus, the title was born. So if you are looking for info on any of those three things, I am sorry to disapoint you.
For you Education students reading this, there is a Crazy Carpet Crawl on Friday night starting at 7:30 leaving from Joe Dog's. If you are into getting completely poopfaced and going Mach 7 down a hill on a thin piece of plastic, then this is the event for you!!!
Are you ready for some football?? My predictions for the game on Sunday are that the Saints will crush the Colts and that the Bud Light blimp will crash to the field, killing Peyton Manning. Okay so that last one is more a hope than a prediction.

First Post.

This is my first ever blog post. Its much like another kind of first....short but satisfying!
