My Mood:  | Teacher fired for wizardry If Harry Potter moves to Florida, let's hope he doesn't try to become a teacher. After doing a magic trick in front of his students (making a toothpick disappear, then reappear), Jim Piculas received a call from his supervisor saying he was accused of wizardry and would therefor be fired. Fla. Teacher Accused Of Wizardry - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando So, is all wizardry in Florida banned, or is it just teachers who are not allowed to perform magic - secondly, obviously he wasn't actually performing magic, but illusions, so why can't he just show how the trick is done and keep his job? I bet David Copperfield would go down really well in Florida  Actually, I think I am going to tell David Blaine to visit Florida, so his next trick can be "escaping from a locked jail cell".

| Bunnie's Baby  | I have no idea what in the hell is going on in the world today. Why can't some people just take a deep breathe and get a fucking grip. Jeez.

| ☣  | I represent the Society for the Ethical Treatment of Toothpicks and we are disgusted with this abuse of toothpick rights. This man has gotten what he deserved for disregarding the inalienable rights of toothpicks to remain in existance. Thank you.

My Mood:  | It might be ridiculous seeming, but this toothpick trick could be a gateway into more diabolical magic...  (R.I.P.)
__________________ In the East poets are sometimes thrown in prison--a sort of compliment, since it suggests the author has done something at least as real as theft or rape or revolution. Here poets are allowed to publish anything at all--a sort of punishment in effect, prison without walls, without echoes, without palpable existence--shadow-realm of print, or of abstract thought--world without risk or eros. So poetry is dead again--& even if the mumia from its corpse retains some healing properties, auto-resurrection isn't one of them. If rulers refuse to consider poems as crimes, then someone must commit crimes that serve the function of poetry, or texts that possess the resonance of terrorism. At any cost re-connect poetry to the body. Not crimes against bodies, but against Ideas (& Ideas-in-things) which are deadly & suffocating. Not stupid libertinage but exemplary crimes, aesthetic crimes, crimes for love. In England some pornographic books are still banned. Pornography has a measurable physical effect on its readers. Like propaganda it sometimes changes lives because it uncovers true desires. -- Hakim Bey, T.A.Z. |

My Mood:  | This seems like one of those, "I've been looking to fire you for general suckery but haven't come up with a good enough paper trail" firings. Wizardry. Geesh. Why can't we take people like this principal and shake them until they have some common sense. I don't want to punch him or anything. I just want a really big guy to grab him by the lapels and shake him like a paint can until he has some common sense rattling around in his skull. |
