About mothermeatloaf
|
A lifetime resident of South Philadelphia, I have dedicated my life to education, my own and that of the students in my charge, no easy feat in the inner city.
In addition to a myriad of other jobs, I began teaching in 1995. In March of 2003, I became the assistant principal of a high school for learning disabled and emotionally disturbed children.
I enjoy drinking (BIG surprise), photography, cinema, music, books, socializing, and all things coastal. I collect weapons, books, currency (domestic and foreign), and various oddities.
I had poetry published in 1988 and 1994 and haven't been published since. I'm in the middle of writing two novels and have piles of dusty fiction and verse beneath my bed.
Some tributes, in verse, to heartbreak, Columbia, and 9/11, and Katrina's wrath:
With Eyes That Are Starving
Why Wait for Death to Teach Us Love?
The Columbia Tragedy
In The Explosion: A Tribute to 9/11
Phenomenal Hurricane: A poem
All I Ask: A poem
A little piece about living life where I live in South Philadelphia
A piece about the only place I'd rather live as opposed to where I'm living now: The Jersey Shore

How will you die? Take the Exotic Cause of Death Test
 You are Wrath/Anger!
Um... Wow. Who got you so mad huh ?? Chill out! You have serious anger issues!! With a rage that seems borderline homicidal and a temper that snaps easier than an old man's pelvis, you are, by far, the scariest sin! You tend to let little things irritate you, and you get stressed fairly easily. Woe be to any of your enemies. On the positive side, you're independent and powerful. A definite leader, but you must learn to control your moods!
Congratulations on being the toughest (and the most independent) of all the 7 deadly sins, you bad ass, you!

The Werewolf:
The Werewolf is the symbol for Spiritual Paths. You have the soul of a wolf inside you, which makes you warm and caring to those you love.
Strengths: Protection is a number one priority, and therefore you always gaurd the ones you love and keep tight bonds with your pack mates. Loyalty is strong within yourself, and you also expect it from the ones who are close to you.
Flip Side: Even though you care for those you love deeply, if they betray you, anger races through your veins. The Werewolf, despite it's warm fun-loving personality, can also defend itself fiercely if need be. You would have no problem showing your teeth if something or someone sets you off balance
by violating the laws of the pack.
Congratulations! You have a Werewolf inside!

 Which John Cusack Are You?
 'Tis a great mystery, but somehow you have come to belong in Jane Eyre; a random world of love, kindness, madness, bad luck and lunatic ex-wives. There really isn't much to say about the place you belong in. It's your place, and though it seems far from reality largly due to how random the events are, you seem to enjoy it. You belong in a world where not too many people understand you, and where you can be somewhat of a recluse.
