YOLO, just YOLO

Spring Break is awesome, I think we need more time off to refresh and reset. I went to visit my parents in the beautiful area of Canyon de Chelly (canyon d-shay). As we were fishing, I pondered the term YOLO. I wondered (aloud) if Dine had a similar term. I asked my mother how to say YOLO in Navajo. Apparently it's 'Tah tlah hadi jih nae'. Too long of an acronym. I think I should make up my own term..

Email Irks

#1. If you have a signature, STOP writing your name at the end of your email. Redundancy kills.

#2. If someone asks for help, via mass email, DON'T email your life story as to why you can't help. Seriously, just don't reply. Save time.

#3. DON'T write something vague in the subject line, then post a link to a cat video in your email. Knock it off.

Deep Thoughts with Dawn Handey

I try to keep an open mind about the world. With that being said, I heard there were people that seriously -legit- think vampires are real. Like drinking blood and sleeping in coffins real? Yes.

I thought long and hard about this to try and make it plausible, but came up with two things: more questions and  headache.

#1: If vampires need blood for sustenance, then where does it go? We eat to live and left overs are pooped out. Sure. But if a vampire only drinks blood ala Twilight, then where does the useless blood go? Do they constantly poop blood to keep pristine bowels?

#2: I was watching Twilight (the last one) and found they (vampires) don't sleep or get physically tired. So, this brings another question. If they regenerate that quickly, then they must not feel pain. Stay with  me. But, in the movie, the Denali chica says, "Ow?" to a barely born Bella when she grabs her wrist. What's up with that? I know it's a movie, yada, yada, but think about it.

Adnouns?

I had a student ask why, if adverbs described verbs, why adjectives weren't called adnouns. Hmmm...
