2009 Tony Award Highlights

In case you missed it... the two best performances from last nights Tony Awards. I have not seen either of these shows but will be hitting NYC in September to catch one of these performances...

Our moment in the sun...

Like great sex, our vacation came way too fast. Before we knew it, we were coming home (pun intended). Here are some pictures and some highlights!

We spent the evenings at the Atlantic Hotel Beach drinking three-dollar cocktails, watching the waves crash.

We visited Old San Juan and ate monfungos.

Parker swam and I splashed in the ocean.

We discussed our futures and our lives together.

We drank mojito after mojito and gambled at the casinos. We did not get lucky.

A pale, blond mechanic from Madison, Wisconsin wanted a wet and wild threesome at the beach. He did not get lucky.

We saw a cabaret show that was GOD- AWFUL.

We had a wonderful vacation.

Corey Keith wants you to get it all out...

For Parker and I, its vacation time! For you, dear reader, it’s POST SECRET TIME! Post your secret, but please adhere to the following….

1. Please post only anonymous comments are allowed... if you post under a name, it may be deleted.

2. Anything goes (just like an online hook-up in Atlanta) but please avoid anything that would result in a warning from blogger.

3. Don't comment on anyone else’s secret.

4. One secret per comment. Feel free to post multiple comments though.

Remember, confession is good for the soul.

Corey Keith's plan to get out of this mess...

On the cover of this week’s Newsweek, Oprah smiles and professes the need to live your best life and I agree. This summer I plan to work towards living my best life. It’s time to diet and I am not just referring to food. Debt diet like Ms. Suzy said… Read the article at http://www.newsweek.com/id/200025... It’s not really about Oprah but it kind of fit into this entry… kind of…

I have a lot of work to complete this summer. Teaching a couple of adjunct classes and completing requirements for an advanced degree, but I am committed to find time for the gym. I am committed to find time to read and grow spiritually. I am also committed to saving money…

I am currently planning my plan for better health. And by better health I am referring to physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually.

I will keep you updated each step of the way.

Mr. Keith is...

It’s summer and damn it, it could not have come soon enough. This school year was so long and so difficult!

Rarely do I write about my life as a teacher. Mr. Keith is nothing like Corey.

Mr. Keith is strict.
Mr. Keith is serious about the teaching of writing.
Mr. Keith does not believe in excuses.
Mr. Keith rarely agrees with his school’s administration.
Mr. Keith is either loved or hated by co-workers.
Mr. Keith is brutally honest with students and peers.
Mr. Keith hates missing work.
Mr. Keith makes students laugh everyday, every period.

I love being a teacher- grading essays, discussing novels, helping develop future leaders. But I hate the politics of education. I hate how unqualified people complicate your job and how you have very little say in school policy or school-wide decisions (this may be isolated to my building and my school’s leadership).

Again, I am ready for the summer and the chance to not only recharge, but to reconsider the path my career is taking.

Turned out?

Has Frankie been turned out?

Memorial day in the ATL...

Atlanta is not where it is at during the Memorial Day holiday. Memorial Day belongs to Miami. The vast majority of ATLiens spent the holiday in Miami at Sizzle or went out of town to visit family.

I spent the holiday at home. For me, this past weekend was filled with grading and preparing final exams.

I did see Star Trek (and I loved it).

I spent some quality time with Parker (we are deciding what we are doing with our lives, together).

I ate some barbecue and drank mojitos with Dees and Douglas (and laughed myself silly).

I spoke to Thirsty (finally, after three weeks, we are letting bygones be bygones).

And I bought the new Chrisette Michelle album, Epiphany. I think I like it.
