Are Mondays really that bad?

So, it's Monday, which entitles many different things:
  • a new work week
  • two weeks until the start of spring break
  •  another day to work on paperwork
  •  a day to spend with children at school
  •  four other days to follow similar to this one
  •  the least appreciated and looked forward to day in the history of the week.
Well, I don't really know about the last one, I'm just speculating and making an educated guess, like the ones that we try and teach our children about, good EDUCATED guesses.

A lot really can come from one simple and small thing, this is why life is so much fun, why teaching is the highlight of my life, even if I don't really feel it that particular day.  Teaching is when you get the opportunity to enlighten young minds to become life long learners, to love the world around them and want to see the world around them through a new searching set of eyes, one where you are not merely a bystander. 

"If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself." -Confucius

This past weekend I have come to realize a few things in life from a really good movie that I watched, Martian Child.  Things to add to my lists of life.  I shall rant and rave them here so I have them both written down to be remembered and hopefully embarked upon.  If you care to read them, it's up to you.  If you don't read them it does not mean that I won't write them.  If you don't like them, it's okay with me as well, your choice, not mine.

Things I Wish I Could Do:
Teleport
Be a Martian and make martian wishes

Things I will Learn To Do:
Teleport
 
Things I Learned:
Baseball is the only sport you can be fail 70 percent of the time and still be considered good.
Super stars don't exist, only super novas and white dwarfs.
If your a little weird it's okay.  Life will still be good and you will find someone that enjoys your weirdness and compliment it, which is love.
 
Something I want:
A polaroid camera
Lots of film for that camera
 
Something to Think About:
Is it good to be like everybody else?
