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

You come from the Ocean. You've always been drawn
to the sea, the sound of the waves, the crystal
blue water, near the sea is where you belong.

Anger
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?




JaneEyre
'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.
