F**king retard
Been a while.
For the three of you that read this blog, I apologize.
This little news item makes me crazy. Stuff like this seriously drives me bug-shit.
Those of you who know me are aware that I am an artist. I draw and write for a living and I draw, write, sculpt, and do molding/casting/woodworking as a hobby.
In fact, from the age of three on up, I've worked with about every medium known to man from oils to egg tempera, from pencils to pastels.
Long story short, an art teacher was fired from a school, here's the link if you wanna read it and get angry right along with me.

Now, it's not what you think,... normally you would assume it was some callous, ignorant school administration who would rather fund the neanderthals on whatever team du' jour passes for athletes at their school and who were just laying in wait for the art instructor to show the kids the statue of David complete with flaccid penis so they could use it as an excuse to shitcan them and buy more,.....balls.
But this time, ladies and lads, it was the art teachers fault. Yes that's what I said. The ART teachers fault.
Short story long,....the teacher, who has recently, (as recently as JANUARY), been reborn as a zealot vegan has been using his class as a recruiting platform for his militant vegetarian views as well as the ever-so-fashionable "animal rights" agenda.
Now, not only did he evade the questioning of school officials as well as admonish the kids NOT to tell their parents about the curriculum shift, but he also said he wouldn't return to the classroom unless Fox River Grove Middle School served only lunches free of animal products
he was quoted as saying, "You are ruining my world and eating my friends,"
What,.....an asshole.
Are you kidding me? The kind of judgement this man displays makes me ecstatic that his services have been dispensed of.
Let's get something straight, captain activism....if you are an art teacher, you are there to teach ART!
ART, YOU TUMBLING NIMROD!
You are there to show them Da vinci, John Singleton Copley, and Weyeth! Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and all the rest of the turtles who painted!
They should experience the beauty of The Mona Lisa or Watson and the shark or The Daughters of E.D. Boit
Not the latest "fur is murder" campaign! Seriously,...we art teacher types have it bad enough as it is! They all think we're loopy and not quite right. They use words like odd and "eclectic" and "quirky" with the same tone of voice they use when saying words like crazy and weird or maybe even creepy.
The muggles don't know what type of importance to assign to us and they have no mental faculties to assign a fair value to it, yet more often than not, they are the ones in charge.
We art-types spend a lot of time alone, covered in paint, lost in music, and deep in the throes wielding an intangible power a 10th of the population cannot understand and another 30th don't give a shit about. And we art-types teach poetry, art and music to their kids.
We're already starting off under a suspicious eye and then shit like this goes and happens.
So thank you, Mr. fashionably Vegan, recently re-born, animal activist, fruit and salad zealot. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for perpetuating the stereotype.
And after this whole miserable bollocks, the animal rights groups have to pipe in and let us know that His efforts gained praise from them.
Oh good. Because they're fantastic folks too.
Interesting reading...

And as for this Warwak guy,....I'd like to smack him repeatedly in the face with a porterhouse steak while I dance around him in circles, kicking him and singing Russian peasant revolt songs.
Sound like some bizarre assault? A nasty pre-meditated attack on a fellow artist?
I just call it performance art.
